Best game on Amiga i ever played, later i did beat it without loss of single lives, every monster spawn point was memorized. One day i must replay it, wonder that is it still in my memory after nearly 20 years
You can buy the original by Nation 12 (John Foxx) on Amazon. I've got the whole album, but "Into The Wonderful" is the best :) - album is called "Electrofear"
The Atari did have the best sound hardware, but the Amiga had it over on everything else and an awesome OS that was a decade ahead of its time. Sadly nobody noticed as it was a "games" machine.
There was a cheat on this game that let you destroy the wrath of evil and embelish the portals of never ending destiny profounded by the sheer might of the unprovoked innocence of the kingdom of souls to whom there be the enchanted saviour through out the infinite power of light embroided by the blind faith of guided determination brought about the forefathers of good who serve only the purest, most heroic, and most selfless of beings.....but I didnt like that cheat I thought it was fucking crap
I'm trying to find a really old Amiga demo. It was a kind of tech demo and loads of numbers filled the screen as if trying to calculate something and out of a cloud of figures an alien emerged. It was fascinating but I only ever saw it once. Can you think of where I might find it plz?
@BongoOldChap yeah, I think this versions ok, but the Atari version is much much much better. although I guess I don't need to state the obvious to everyone. Lets face it, the Atari had less crap hardware/marketing gimics inside it, and produced exactly the same results ^_^
@rovercrew id like the ataris graphics and 3 channel sound and I used it a lot with its built in midi ports which were great for my whacky synth days.. I was into the demo scene and used to watch carebears stuff and all the rest of them, however I once had chance to see a Newtek demo on an amiga and my jaw just dropped Im sorry to say.
O my god I love this. It almost brings a tear to my eye. I was like five years old watching my brother plays this. I see why I am do so much with music now!
Anyone got a video of the game actually being played? This is so nostalgic for me. The Amiga really was awesome for games... I really miss it actually.
I played this big time when it was first released on the Amiga. A bit robotic in that you had to remember collection routines for gems, keys and such to get maximum scores but it had some of the best boss battles of it's time (especially if you had the right weapons and power ups to melt them with). I've played the remake on PC and, although it still has the edge that made it so addictive back in the day, it's just missing that certain Amiga element.
@kungfuruss To be brutally honest, you can't get no better than the original music file (.mod). There are tons of players out there you can play them on.
The beginning of this song I always thought was "Into the wonderful", but on closer inspection now 20 years later it sounds more like "Into the waterfall".
One of the most memorable tunes from those brilliant Amiga days of days long gone.
I loved this games the graphics and sound were true arcade quality from the Bit map Brothers!! I wish they would produce games like this again for the new console but keep them 2D just imagine the way they would look with the 2D capabilities of the new machines, or even on the DS???
Same here. Later we found a program that would rip tracks from games and I had that on my desktop for I don't know how long. I remember getting that little equalizer box that made it sound even MORE fantastic and hooking up various guitar effects to enhance it. I probably spent more time listening to the song than playing the game...easily.
I loved this game! I quite liked the version on 3d demo 2 as well! that had some awesome visuals along with it, I loved the bit where you could navigate through the 3d objects in space!
The AMiga was the machine of choice. The ST was mince but the STE kicked the Amiga 500/600s ass but only a few software houses developed games to max it out. Shame cos the ST/E was pc compatible to a small degree.
Bitmaps were really innovative at that time, with their characteristic graphic style, and always with fascinating futuristic music. Speedball 2 is the classic simply. Amiga pany!
lol i just had to type dickliked because my comment amount exceeded haha... anyway.. yup ST was great and was prety much the same as the amiga when it came to games apart from the music though, it had a pretty lame sound chip :P i just had to get an amiga though after a freind showed me his, i was blown away by the music :)
Nah the ST was great so many fun hours... Games these days lack something, I know they are all realistic, good graphics etc but you don't get the same kinda fun you got from like fire n ice and gods, and llamatron etc whether it's atari, amiga or commodore 64 ;)
It's a few (like more than 10) years since I've heard this, but it's amazing how the human memory recalls this stuff, probably because it was so amazingly good. And GODS is one of the games I completely finished on the Amiga.
I loved this so much. I used to own it but it was busted and wouldnt load past the intro song, itd loop and not load the menus, so id put it on just to listen to it! <3
if anyone is intersted in getting the soundtracks, there is a program called modplug tracker, which enables you to covert the mod. files (amigas - and ps1 original music files) to mp3

It had the most incredible Graphics and sound.. If it wasn't for the Amiga computers wouldn't have been pushed as far technologically speaking..
@Bluesage2009 you still after a good wav of the gods intro music? i've still got a couple of a500s and an a1200.i use every couple of years. i tried the emulators but thats basically like knocking the top off!! can never beat the real thing
lol, if someone would remake this song on their own synthesis board, you could put this on DDR xD
For the time, this would be considered a Masterpiece x3 I miss these odd, yet intriguing games, but I still have Tandy, and particular game by Psygnosis called Obliterator.

Oh yes, how could I forget JOHN FOXX, I believe he is a consistent feature of critical best-of lists around the world
Come on, best music of that era? It's probably not even the best dance music released that month! People have a tendency to overrate music when it appears in video games. There is a world outside of videogame music and I want you to see it ; _ ;
I live in the world outside of videogame music, and i must say that you don't understand what these users want to say to you: this is one of the best music pieces of that era of videogame, without any doubt. In those times and even years after that, videogames didn't have a soundtrack as good as this one, and Foxx still makes albums, that is why he was called for this game. Greetings, and be nice with other opinions!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Actually, here: I think this guy was trying to make something like 'Vooday Ray' by A Guy Called Gerald or maybe 'Timber' by Coldcut and Hexstatic. Please listen to those, they are like this but good
Yes i think we are all of the understanding that there is music that sounds better than the tune here from Gods, but you are forgetting that this music was made for a game that had to incorporate code, graphics, sound effects and music all to fit on about 2 floppy disks for a 1 Megabyte A500 in 1991. You are comparing it to music that would have been produced on perhaps a Mini Moog, Jupiter 8, Korg..etc.. The "constraint" is what makes this Gods tune all the MORE impressive!
Lets not also forget the SID Chip in the Commodore 64 where you had the 64kb limitation and you had to learn to program in Assembly Language to make music on it! and look at some of those geniuses were able to produce back in the 80's on something like 10% of resources of what you are comparing video game music too! So lets just put all this into better perspective ok.
Amiga Format cover disk this was on. Can't remember which tho... Not as good as Speedball2 intro, but seeing as Speedball 2 was the pinnacle of human achievement, that can be excused!
Hell yes. It's simple, but something you can completely kick back to. The PC version actually plays back through the PC speaker. I remember hooking up a mono 3.5 socket to the pc speaker just so that i could listen to this track over the amp!
OH MY GOD :D ,Thank you so much for posting this , man memories of years and years ago , i remember this music and intro , i almost shit my pants when i saw it i thought it was so cool :D , I LOVE AMIGA wish i still had it Amiga 500plus
re music, yet again by (nation 12) tim simenon, only computerise by R.J, bitmap bros liked tim's music , using it in xennon 2 / speedball 2 , Like it? check out bomb the bass
THE BEST AMIGA GAME EVER...i used to get stuck on one bit, and never got past it lol...brilliant graphics and great music too...i really must get an emulator for this PC ;)
He didn't compose it, Tim Simenon of Bomb the Bass and John Foxx of Ultravox created it while in a band called Nation XII. Richard Joseph possibly transferred it into .MOD format, though.
This tune I never forgot. I was an Amiga fan for years and the games, demo scene will stay in my mind forever. RedSector, Fairlight Tristar etc The Amiga 64 was the best machine I ever owned.. C=

You are comparing it to music that would have been produced on perhaps a Mini Moog, Jupiter 8, Korg..etc.. The "constraint" is what makes this Gods tune all the MORE impressive!

Lets not also forget the SID Chip in the Commodore 64 where you had the 64kb limitation and you had to learn to program in Assembly Language to make music on it! and look at some of those geniuses were able to produce back in the 80's on something like 10% of resources of what you are comparing video game music too! So lets just put all this into better perspective ok.

Amiga Format cover disk this was on. Can't remember which tho... Not as good as Speedball2 intro, but seeing as Speedball 2 was the pinnacle of human achievement, that can be excused!

What the older games like Gods had was an atmosphere you just don't see anymore. Today's games feel like clones of each other.

i agree. the atmosphere of games like gods or shadow of the beast was incredible.

Oh hell yeah Shadow was amazing, and I guess the list could just go on...

You know this game is actually widescreen?
Grab WinUAE and a widescreen monitor, then use the graphics filter to expand the view, and it will fill the monitor completely.

Hell yes. It's simple, but something you can completely kick back to. The PC version actually plays back through the PC speaker. I remember hooking up a mono 3.5 socket to the pc speaker just so that i could listen to this track over the amp!

Richard Joseph Composed this tune, sadly he past away a few months ago at the age of 53 of Lung Cancer.
It is a memorable tune.
AnalogX 4 years ago
He didn't compose it, Tim Simenon of Bomb the Bass and John Foxx of Ultravox created it while in a band called Nation XII. Richard Joseph possibly transferred it into .MOD format, though.

"Into The Wonderful", I heard that there was a 7" single of it, but never been able to track it down.

Thanks for the info I'll keep looking. Its a shame some old classic tunes that are not main stream get lost.
