I had Populous the Beginning. That game was so sweet.

I love that one too, but I never got very far. The music is soothing. Ya know, that game is very close to the RTS genre I hate. I'm not sure what it does differently that works so well for me. Maybe the Shaman.

Cool game indeed.

The last level is very cool Mozgus, you should perhaps try a cheat just to play that one.

Maybe. I recently tried the game out with the latest unofficial patch, which adds high resolutions, among other things, and noticed that my ATI card plays it perfectly, where my nvidia does not.
