Hmmm, there is no CD32 version as far as I'm aware. Only the Amiga ECS / OCS version: http://hol.abime.net/2754/screenshot
As for which one was shown on the show i.e. Amiga or PC I'm not sure |

According to the wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_%28video_game%29 Gods came out on the Amiga DOS Atari ST Acorn Archimedes MD/Gen SNES I'm not sure which wouldve been the best graphically.. was the ST better for audio and the amiga for graphics, or the other way around? I cant remember, I guess it all depended on what model you had anyway, haha... so pointless comparing in that sense |

The PC version would have been pretty rubbish back then as they were way behind the Amiga's capabilities. In fact I think I also played it on a PC around 1992 and this was definitely the case |

I'd say the best version is the SNES version (double playfield), then Amiga, then PC version. And anyway this is the best platformer ever IMHO |

I can't recall seeing the clip of Gods on GM, but it's likely the SNES version if it was very colourful (the main sprite gives the game away - purple?). The PC version has a dire blue sky, the ST version did a raster job to get a similar effect to the Amiga copper list. The SNES/Genesis version also has some different level background gfx, with that parallax layer, plus they ran quicker and allowed jump direction change. Overall the Amiga had the best sound samples I think (plus that intro track of course), even if it did not have the in-game music of the consoles.
Talking of Gods, I think I remember seeing an early beta on the ITV show Motormouth once, which also had Magic Pockets as a phone-game I believe. I'm sure the Bitmaps were on there messing about with a level designer tool, allowing them to drop objects in etc. Also, the early Herc had a speedballer helmet (some early mag shots showed this). Q; ps. Bitmap trivia - there is also an early mag shot of Chaos Engine showing bat-like creatures on World 2, which never made it! |

There are loads of others as well but I haven't found them to be as good as FileFactory: http://www.yousendit.com/ http://www.megaupload.com/ http://www.turboupload.com/ http://www.yourfilehost.com/ http://www.mofile.net/en/index.do For me is the worst (unless you have a "Premium" account) as after downloading a file you need to wait a considerable amount of time before getting the next file |

Ah lalalala, the worst thing to me is that none of you tried to find a tool/program to avoid the timer !!!
I have find one that i will post in the zone tonight. It resets automatically the time counter and you'll then be able to download as much as you like. |
