The demo of the game GODS disappeared from ab20. I don't know why as this is
just a demo, without any copyright and only one level. Furthermore, I read in
English magazine that a lot of Public Domain associations propose it in the
disks they distribute. Maybe it has been removed because I posted a .dms file
of the disk that was sold with Amiga Format, maybe Amiga Format has a special
copyright on the other software that was on the same disk.
What I can do is to post a disk with just the GODS DEMO without the other
software.
Anyway, I can E-MAIL this demo to people interested, because I spent several
hours playing it and I still haven't finished the first level. The demo is
Giant !!! Better than many games that are sold. Anyway, I encourage evrybody
to run to the shop and buy the final game. It just appeared on the shops this
week in France.

It merely moved. ab20 is far more organized than it used to be, and things which obviously belong in a category move into /amiga fairly quickly. It moved to /amiga/games/gods1.... Please, people, when something is no longer where you expect in /incoming, check /amiga. Things aren't supposed to stay in /incoming for long periods of time. By the way, what happened to /amiga/graphics/images? And are there any other archives of IFF files around, or am I supposed to convert GIF files? -- Keith Steiger--ameiba@reed.edu--"I am what you see. I cannot be otherwise."

Once you have that, you can uncompress FILES, do a "grep -i gods FILES", and find out exactly where the gods demo moved to, without any outside help. -- Frank McPherson INTERNET : emcphers@fox.cs.vt.edu -- -- AmigaUUCP : uunet!vtserf!morpheus!frank --
