    Discworld (ディスクワールド) is an adventure game for the Sega Saturn based on the novel by Terry Pratchett. It was followed by Discworld II: Missing Presumed...!?.

    A Sega Mega-CD version was advertised around the same time as the original PC and Macintosh versions of the game, but was not released.

    A North American release was planned, prior to publishers THQ dropping out of the Saturn market in the summer of 1997[3].
