Only on GOG, a new game release can bring so many memories from back in the days. So who remembers the times of Pentium MMX?

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/pod_gold]POD Gold also known as Planet of Death is a futuristic racer with a plot. The game takes place in the future on a planet called Io. A mining accident unleashes a deadly virus which threatens the whole planet population. After a massive exodus from the planet, only one seat in the very last rescue spaceship remains. This seat will be taken by the winner of a dangerous race in which you're taking part. Maybe it's not an Oscar winning script but come on, it's a racer :) In POD it's all about speed - you drive one of 16 turbocharged machines through 32 tracks in full 3D environment, fighting for the top spot. When released, POD was the first game making use of the Pentium MMX technology, and later on, one of the titles with 3D acceleration. Based on this POD was often used as an example of what the computers in the late 90's could do. Today you can check the "hi-end technology of the 90's" and have fun while blasting 300 mph through the futuristic tracks for only $5.99.
Wow, when I saw POD on the home page a huge surge of nostalgia came over me.

I remember playing this game so much as a kid... the intro movie blew me away every time.
this was in bundle with my matrox mystique x3
...a fucking long day begin for me...I have to wait till this evening to buy this and enjoy.

AWESOME GOG! thanks to make our dream alive.

POD is the game that revolutionized (really, not as the guy dead last week) the gameplay in video game: fast, complex, hard and smart, the player has to use brain, reflexes and skills.

A pure classic...GOG has step today a great jump into its ambition by adding this game.

THANKS

GOG has the European gold version, which comes with what you see on the gamercard. I have no idea why there are different gold versions per region, but that's what we have to offer.

I hope you'll talk to Ubi about it.

Okey. So no way to see Back to Hell one day? :'( Pleeeeeaaaaassssse?

Someone tried to install the addon from abandonware sites on GOG's work?
It seems that GoG version of glide2x.dll have been modified to allow it to run with no CD. Currently, i have no luck try to run this game with third party glide wrapper such as dgvoodoo or nGlide. It will ask for CD is i replace the current glide2x.dll with other version. And dgvoodoo doesn't recognize GoG's glide2x.dll. Maybe in the future there will be update for GoG version. So you're stuck with direct3D (i vaguely remember the term) graphic which is less sharper and crisper than 3Dfx voodoo.
Everyday same silly person spam all the same section. Can mod please permanently ban this user?
Hi al.

I have just bought this fantastic racing arcade that surprised me in the 3DFX era. After starting i have realized that the game looks pretty today, and here comes my question. Is the Glide version enabled? I would say yes, because i see no one pixel at the screen.
