'Discworld: The Colour of Magic' was developed by Blue Sphere Games Ltd in 2006, as a game for mobile phones. The gameplay has a top down perspective where players controlling [[Rincewind]] must 'nudge' [[Twoflower]] to various locations in [[Ankh-Morpork]], whilst avoiding obstacles.
 
Blurb: [[Twoflower]] is the [[Discworld]]s first ever tourist. Loaded down with spending money, an inability to speak the language and a naive world view he has set out for the Discs largest and most dangerous city, [[Ankh-Morpork]]! The ruler of Ankh-Morpork has chosen the inept and cowardly wizard [[Rincewind]] as Twoflowers guide round the city, the threat of imprisonment and torture should he fail to keep Twoflower safe is enough to keep Rincewinds mind on the job! So it is down to you to help Rincewind guide Twoflower around the city showing him the sights while avoiding the thugs, [[Thieves Guild|thieves]], unscrupulous street traders, cart traffic and exploding [[swamp dragons]]! See the [[Patrician's Palace]], [[Temple of Small Gods]], The [[Brass Bridge]] and many others on your tour of Ankh Morpork!
