Has anyone ever played either of the two playstation games for Discworld in which Eric Idle voices Wincewind?

I played the first for a while - quite entertaining - but some of the tasks you had to discover for yourself were absolutely bizarre. For example, givnig prunes to a certain charatcer made them go to the toilet - and lo! - an octopus you required for a different task jumped out. But how does anybody make the connection of prunes to octopus...?

Well worth playing though - but if you want to finish it you will need to buy one of the support books telling you how.

Yes I have played the first Discworld game.
I had to being a big fan of Rincewind.
It was simply mind boggling!
I have to admit in the end I needed the help of a guide...
Yet it was funny, I am still in search of a luggage like the one in the game...

I played the first one until Wincewind ended up on top of a tower and the dragon kept flying past and I couldn't get down...So I gave up...

I played the second game and finished it, there's a great deal of trial and error involved if you don't want to use a guide, but it's great fun exploring the various possibilities, Eric Idle ad-libbed a lot in this game...

I got it from a friend last night so I'm going to go through it again, and I got DW Noir too, I have no idea what that one's like...Anyone?
