The Colour of Magic is a 1986 illustrated text adventure game based on The Colour of Magic. The player takes on the role of Rincewind and is soon tasked with keep Twoflower safe in a plot which “closely” remembles the novel.

It was developed by Delta 4, and published by Pirahna. It was available for the early home computers the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad PC.

Blurb

Enter the extraordinary Discworld, set on a turtle's back. Meet naive, four-eyed Twoflower, the Discworld's first Tourist blessed with more money than sense. You are Rincewind, a youthful Wizard, faced with the miserable task of guiding the ridiculous Twoflower as he wends his blundering way. Wherever you go, the many-legged Luggage will be sure to follow. Meanwhile Death, rather weary from overwork, has a few surprises in store for you...
