The unique-- and, to some, repelling-- Monty Python humor comes to life in a trio of Pythonite games: Complete Waste of Time, The Holy Grail, and The Meaning of Life, thanks to active involvement of Pythonite Terry Gilliam as designer.
All titles are part game, part collection of Pythonesque skits and humor, and part more spam than you can stomach, with the latter 2 being faithful adaptation of the Python's movies of the same names. These games are a lot of fun if you are the Pythons' fan (like me). You will find them mildly amusing in a weird, incomprehensible way if you don't mind twisted humor, and downright disgusting if you're normal. Be warned.

This game was absolutely bonkers. I never figured out how to play the actual game and just clicked around trying to make things happen. Surprisingly fun for how confounding it was.
I managed to get another Monty Python game to run on my laptop by installing a version of Windows 95 and running it through there... Okay, my brother set it up for me, but it works! So I have Windows 95. How can I load this game? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks
Anyone else receiving the error message "can't find the file herald.bin" while trying to run the python.exe file? :/
Full Circle...
I ripped and submitted this game to this site about 2 decades ago. I no longer have the disc, a tragedy really. I'm so glad this site's still here, with my game intact. Any copy would do... but this one's mine. Super poetic.
I had this back 1995 but I don't know what happened to it. I think my son kiped it on me when he left to live with his grandparents, was fun though.
when I was a little kid in the 90's I ended up playing this from a version of a CD with shareware games I had, but as I'm from Brazil and didn't know Monty Python at the time I've been trying to find this game for years, and to my surprise see him here now!!
I had the MP desktop pythonizer back in the days of Windows 3.11. though the version I had didn't have the other games. It was fun, you could make your keyboard sound like a typewriter, or you could make it make rude noises like burps and farts, or another selection was just wacky MP noises. It also had some brief clips from the show, and Python wallpaper. The screen savers could also be played as games.
this really was a complete waste of time, all I got was codes no real file or product!!!
