Just a correction, gods was distributed in france by mindscape (same about magic pockets, and chaos engine.) --- Distribution information is taken from French computermagazine adverts, see for example: http://download.abandonware.org/magazines/Joystick/joystick_numero016/page%20185.jpg Atarimania ST
