The Colour of Magic has been the name of two different games based on Terry Pratchett's first Discworld novel. The other was a mobile game released in 2006.

Released in 1986 'The Colour of Magic' was the first ever Discworld based game to be produced. The game was developed by Delta 4 and published by Piranha for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC. The game is a text adventure with the plot based on The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. The game was later re-released slightly remade by Alternative Software in 1987 and a third time as a part of the collection ZX Files Megatape 2 in 1997.

Wherever you go, the many legged Luggage will be sure to follow. Meanwhile Death, rather weary from overwork, has a few surprises in store for you...
