Good stuff! Looks like I'm going to have a great time with this one, being a fan of Terry Pratchett, Monty Python, AND adventure games. Now if I could just get the voices to work (I downloaded from HOTU, since I heard that's a better version). I've got the music working just fine, but I'd love to hear the voice actors' delivery of Pratchett's witty dialogue.
Can't wait to play this!

Really wanted to play this, got everything installed and started via DosBox 0.65, but the game crashes as soon as I try to enter the dining room after getting the book for the chancellor. Sometimes it works after restarting, but not always...

Any hint about how I should set my DosBox?

Thx
Cat

Hmmm maybe you need to put up the cycles on DOSbox a bit

[The Fifth Horseman]

Nope, the cycles don't have anything to do with the game crashing.

Are you sure your sound settings are properly configured?

Did you try using DosBox 0.63 (DosBox compatibility base has the game as fully supported under 0.63)?

Did you try the talkie version from HOTU?

Thanks to all for the advice... but I just read the review and the tech tips... tried VDMS, and it's really smooth - no more crashes so far.

Hey I'm in the middle somewhere of the second act, and I can't work out how to move on from the past. Every time I try to travel forward to the present it comes up with Death, Famine, War and another guy who's probably Pestilence playing assorted card and board games, and they keep talking about the butterfly saving Rincewind. Thing is, I've already done it. Or at least I succeded in shoving a frog in his mouth( ) and taking the Butterfly to the lamp on the corner of the street. I also started a fight in the drum and took the stick. I stole the scared guys pass, but that was before it kept coming up with Death and co. If there's anything I'm missing please help coz I've been at this for ages and I just can't work it out.

[Northowl]

You are doing everything right. The thing is you cannot bring the book back to present with you. Not yet. Put the book back in place, and Death poker party should cease to come up.

By the way, while in the past, did you read the sign on the toilet door

Hey everyone I've been wondering what you guys meant with this VDMsound thing. Is it a compatiility application?
It's not like I've never played dos games, but they never required much :P

My game however does work perfectly so far (yes even saving without bugging when you move to new areas) but entirely without sound! somebody please help me on this

*sorry about the double post mods*

alright i googled this VDMS thing and yeah it's a compatibility sound thing for dos
I got my music to work k:
but my voices and stuff still arn't working, I tried the soundblaster pro and the soundblaster 16, neither works.

VDMSound by default emulates Sound Blaster 16, IRQ 7 DMA 1 address 220h. Run the games' sound configuration utility and input these values when prompted.
