About

Ron Davis's Norse puzzle game on the ScummVM engine announced in February 2025, playing the freeware version ScummVM hosts, streamed by the demo.

God of Thunder is a puzzle video game for MS-DOS created by Ron Davis and published by Software Creations in 1993. It was released as shareware, then became freeware circa-2002. The plot and characters are based on Norse mythology with tongue-in-cheek humor.

    3. Start ScummVM, choose Add game, select that folder (not the files inside it) and press Choose.
    4. The Game Options dialog opens: the default settings are fine for now.
    5. Select the game in the list and press Start; next time, start from there.
    6. To add many games at once, click the small arrow on Add game and choose Mass Add: it searches every subfolder.
