Populous™

人生の中で色々なゲームを遊んできました。 FF5やFF7、モンスターハンター等長時間遊んだゲームはありますが、 今となっては思い出であり、再度プレーするかと問われれば否です。 もう一度やりたいゲームは何か？ 私のそれがポピュラスでした。 名作と思うゲームは沢山ありますが、 今なお遊びたいと思い、探していたのはポピュラスだけです。 英語版オンリーという事で今迄検索出来ませんでしたが、 もしかしたら？と思い設定を変えて検索したら出てきましたポピュラス！！ ３０年以上前のゲームだと思うのですが面白いです。

If, like me, you played this on the Amiga and your fond memories of this game heavily revolve around the music and sound effects (heartbeat, wind, choir-like sounds) please be aware, they are not in this version of the game. It is instead some poppy, upbeat keyboard music; I thought something was wrong with my computer and the sound was coming from elsewhere! The nostalgia I was hoping for just isn't there and it is disappointing. Other than that, this is the game as I remember it, and I am glad I can play it (on mute, haha) - but very much hope the Amiga music can be added.

"Populous™" was a groundbreaking title for its time that introduced the god game genre to the world in 1989. As a deity, you manipulate the landscape, guide your followers, and clash with rival gods in a bid for dominance. The game’s innovative mechanics, like raising and lowering terrain to influence your people, were revolutionary at the time and laid the foundation for future strategy games. While the graphics and AI may feel outdated by today’s standards, "Populous™" still holds a special place in gaming history. Its creative gameplay and strategic depth make it a must-play for fans of classic games and those interested in the origins of god games.

I have purchased the game as is one of my favourite games of my chilhood. sadly it only shows the launcher logo and gets stuck there, I oppened a comunity discussion asking for help there, and nothing, zero acivity, game wont start, seems a scame to get a little bit more of money from the comunity. Fix this and make the game playable and will re-review this feedback.

Just let it stay in memories.

It took some fiddling with DOSbox to get this working: specifically, changing from output=overlay to output=opengl, or else it would just crash in fullscreen mode. The other change worth making is changing scaler= to tv2x, as this is an *old* game and it looks awful without scanlines. It plays almost exactly as I remember, which is great. Bullfrog nailed the mechanics on this one: it's easy, approachable and intuitive. Every game after (PowerMonger, Populous II, Syndicate, Godus, B&W) was more visually impressive, but didn't have Populous' intuitiveness. If I have a complaint, it's the this is a exact re-release of the DOS version, which means you don't get the Amiga version's intro and (much, much, much better) music and sound effects. When you're in the game, it plays more or less the same, but the audioscape of the Amiga version is much, much better.

Sadly no remakes have been made for this old version. The Super Nintendo had the last best version. I discovered you can only save 1 game on C:1, if you try to save on the 1st 2,A & B it won't save or give error. If you just got this game , try saving on C:1 or try them all until at least 1 of them works.
