Description

I am very happy to release my enhanced fanmade soundtrack for you to use within the game, which will give everyone higher quality sounding music and not just those with powerful MIDI equipment.

Includes FLAC lossless audio as well as the standard Ogg Vorbis option.

A big thank you for the countless emails I have had about this particular release and of course to Terry Pratchett for allowing my enhancements to be released for your enjoyment.

Please note this is not compatible with the PlayStation version within ScummVM as the music mapping is completely different.

  1. Tom

    As both a die-hard adventure gamer and a music lover, I heartily endorse Mr Woodcock’s superb work. The original Discworld game had some pretty catchy and tuneful tracks that sounded great even on the crude DOS hardware of the era; these new, enhanced tracks not only make those old favourites sound even better but, more importantly, really bring some of the otherwise less memorable tracks to the fore. The realistic woodwind, strings and drums give a much more authentic Early Music sound, perfectly fitting with the game’s pseudo-medieval-to-renaissance tone, to many of the locations than the more synthetic, electronic sounds of the average 90s MIDI card.

    well the sound track is perfect but I can’t use it for PlayStation version of Discworld game on my pc in scummvm wrong music is playing everywhere

      Thank you for the review!

      I’ll update the description based on this feedback. The music mapping must be different than the PC version. I’ll keep this in mind and see if a future ScummVM update can handle this. Might take time but I’ll make a note of it for you!

      Thanks

      James

    I’ve been playing Discworld with the enhanced soundtrack since it first released. No reason to play the game without it.
