Populous™ II: Trials of the Olympian Gods Reviews

DOS Box version of the classic game Populous 2. Whats not to like ? i Think its the pc version though. Never saw that intro movie on the Amiga 500......

[i]Populous™ II: Trials of the Olympian Gods[/i] is yet another product of Electronic Arts' attempt to sell video games from bygone eras without having ensured that their engines are up-to-date with modern operating systems. In the case of this product, the emulator experiences issues with its frame rate, leading to the game running at 500% of its natural speed than usual. Other than the technical issues, the game plays much the first wherein players must compete with a rivaling god for dominion. If players have read and understood the first game's manual and mechanics, then they've not much else to learn in this sequel outside of allocating experience points to specific powers of nature. The only discernible difference is the improvement in graphics and evidence of progression. As a principle, these sorts of products should be avoided as they lack the necessary refinement to justify their rerelease on contemporary platforms with consumer bases that primarily operate modern devices.
