('''''Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!''''' in [[North America]]) is the second graphic [[adventure game]] based on [[Terry Pratchett]]'s series of [[fantasy]] novels set on the mythical [[Discworld (world)|Discworld]]. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by [[Perfect Entertainment]] for the [[IBM PC|PC]], and ported in 1997 for the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] and [[Sega Saturn]]. It was published by [[Psygnosis]] for the PC and PlayStation, and by [[Sega]] for the Saturn (only in Europe). The game, on two [[CD-ROM]]s (one for the console versions), features hand-drawn environments and animations, full voice acting and a simple interface. In ''Discworld II'' the player controls [[Rincewind]] the "[[Unseen University|wizzard]]" (voiced by [[Eric Idle]], as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing [[Death (Discworld)|Death]] out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of ''[[Discworld]]'' books, most notably ''[[Reaper Man]]'', ''[[Moving Pictures (novel)|Moving Pictures]]'' and ''[[Lords and Ladies (novel)|Lords and Ladies]]''. == Plot == It all begins in a quiet [[Ankh-Morpork]] street, where Rincewind and [[The Librarian (Discworld)|The Librarian]] inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the [[Archchancellor]] of [[Unseen University]] to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding [[Death (Discworld)|Death]] and convincing him to resume his work. == Voice cast == A number of changes were made to the voice cast since the previous Discworld game. While [[Eric Idle]] reprised his role as Rincewind, [[Tony Robinson]] did not return, and [[Jon Pertwee]] died before production could begin. [[Rob Brydon]] and [[Kate Robbins]] did return, however, and ''[[The Young Ones (TV series)|Young Ones]]'' actor [[Nigel Planer]] was added to the cast. The [[Death (Discworld)#The Death of Rats|Death of Rats]] is voiced by "Katharine the crocodile", and [[Rob Brydon]] seemingly provided the new voices for [[Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler|Dibbler]], [[Undead (Discworld)#Windle Poons|Windle Poons]], [[Havelock Vetinari|the Patrician]], Chuckie and the Fool. ==See also== * [[Discworld (video game)|Discworld]] * [[Discworld Noir]] * [[The Colour of Magic (video game)|The Colour of Magic]] == External links == * [http://www.lspace.org/games/discworld/index.html The Discworld Game Pages] * {{moby game|id=/discworld-ii-mortality-bytes|name=''Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!''}} * [http://www.adventureclassicgaming.com/index.php/site/reviews/21/ ''Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?'' review (U.S. version)] {{Discworld books}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Discworld 02}} [[Category:1996 video games]] [[Category:Adventure games]] [[Category:Discworld games]] [[Category:DOS games]] [[Category:PlayStation games]] [[Category:Point-and-click adventure games]] [[Category:Sega Saturn games]] [[Category:Video games based on books]] [[Category:Video games developed in the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Windows games]] [[fr:Discworld 2]] [[ru:Discworld II]]
