            Well, - whispered Kring.

               - And why did I do not for
            thinking? - Surprised Rincewind -

            Could it be that they all have

            Crossbows?


              Terry Pratchett, "The Color of parish
            shebstva.


  That is what is known at present about
This, apparently, adventyure: the game
consists of three parts; feature it in
that the motion is either toward the center
or to the edge of a flat world (Diskworld).


  Leafing through the "500 games-III of VA-PRINT" and read the 
following: "<...> Movement in the game little different from 
usual. Since a world where everything is happening (Diskvorld)

has the shape of a disk, there are no points of the compass. 
You can either go to center - Habvord, or to the edge -

Rimvord. Naturally, you can go on
circumference of the disc, either in the direction of
rotation - Tornvayz or against - Viddershins. <...>

  The game is built like a typical text
adventure, and you have to solve problems when they arise, or 
you can faced with a trembling figure of Death,

especially towards the end of the game. "


  Some may ask why there is so
interested in this adventyura - representative of text based 
games, some thousands on the Spectrum. The fact that there is a 
funny book by Terry Pratchett - The Colour of Magic "(The Color 
Of Magic (C) 1983 by Terry Pratchett), which is written in 
Gendre parodic fantasy (Fantasy) today is a classic in this 
direction (the British even put in a Terry Pratchett row with 
Jerome Jeromes, author of "Three in the boat, not counting the 
dog). So, seeing that such a book written by a game to us, 
Naturally, I wanted to pass it. =)
