Raise some land, lower some other land and build out your dudes before the other player does.
Partly it’s because while games have played around with the whole God-Game thing to much greater effect in the intervening years, there’s something beautifully simple about Populous.
Populous snes upgrade#
That’s arguably an upgrade (and a game I still own) overall, so why the nostalgia? Not quite all of it, anyway.Īlso, we were a few years away from this cinematic masterpiece.īack in ’92 I played it heavily for a couple of weeks and then traded it in (hey, I didn’t have much in the way of disposable income, being one of those highly-sought-after school leavers with no practical skills at all) for, if I recall correctly, a copy of Super Smash TV. Also, it was relatively cheap, and I couldn’t quite spend all my time playing Street Fighter II. You do that kind of thing when your access to games is limited as much by the systems you have as the budget you can bring to bear. That being said, part of the reason I picked up a copy back in ’92 from the CEX store in Rathbone Place, London (one of the classic game stores, now sadly defunct for retro purposes) was because it was one of those games that I’d read so much about while not having access to anything that could play it. It’s an unusual title, because I can’t deny that the computer-based versions of the day would have been better, simply because it’s designed around a mouse-style interface.
Populous snes free#
Despite having plenty of other games to play (and leaving aside a few actual new titles that I’m also busy reviewing) I’ve spent a lot of my free time this week playing Bullfrog’s classic God sim.
As such, the asking price was right in any case.
Populous snes Pc#
I haven’t checked if it’s available as a virtual console title, although Good Old Games does sell it for PC for $7.89. It was super cheap at 108 Yen (roughly $1.38 or so), and my brain went “Yeah, why not? I mean, it can’t be that text-heavy, right?Īmongst the weird and wonderful retro bits and bobs I picked up during my recent retrogaming trip to Tokyo was a very cheap copy of Bullfrog’s classic Populous. A game I hadn’t played since I first owned a copy all the way back in late 1992. Populous for (technically) the Super Famicom. There it was, staring me from the shelf of a Book-Off in Ikebukuro. I should probably worry about a game that lets me unleash swamps and earthquakes as seeming “relaxing”.
