Back in the days it was a fun casual gaming experience that felt very entertaining, not unlike Lemmings or Combat Chess. I think it has multi player capability, but is fun to play single as well. Being a late 1890ies/early 1990ies DOS game it comes with sound and VGA graphics. Like Worms, this game is all about the amusement—fitting that you have to place Tetris tiles to build and repair your castle walls. It may not be challenging to play, but it is so much fun, and harder to advance than one might think... IMHO it also aged well, it is very nice to play still on a modern PC with DOSBox.

DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist.
The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.Fantasy Historical Comedy
