Anyone ever play Gods

Post by arion »

I just snagged a copy for the mega drive and i´m hooked even though it´s very hard and just to get through the levels you must replay it alot to memorize the patterns. But what i like about it is that it reminds how gaming used to be you really had to earn any progress in the game and it gave me a reason to use my old mega drive again :D

edit
added a link to wikipedia if someone wants to read more about it

I think I remember playing this on the Atari ST, wasnt it the greek themed game that apparently had some crude AI that throws more enemies at you the better you get at killing them? I've not long re-aquired a mega drive and I agree that games back then were made to be punishing, and new games are too soft on us

I remember a load of hype surrounding it, but I could never really tell either

I completely forgot about this game! I used to play it all the time back in 92. This and Wolf3d were two of my favorite games. Brings back memories!

Now, to buy on eBay, or find somewhere else...

originally it was an Amiga game, had a neat little song it played at the title screen. I would like to get the Megadrive/Genesis version since my Amiga's and ST's are long gone....

I used to play it in the Amiga.

The intro song to Gods is called "Into the Wonderful", and is quite good.
Unfortunately the artist that composed it passed away already (he worked on a bunch of other Amiga games musics, including also Sensible Soccer's music).

Check it out:
