There is actually a project going to remake the game but because of legal issues they are using their own engine,sprites e.t.c

Yeah played it to death back in the day.

Retromatic · 1 May 2011 at 17:13

Yes I had it, on the Amiga - I was rubbish at it though. Speaking of Bullfrog games, I absolutely loved Populous 2

Neil79 · 1 May 2011 at 17:13

Yeh same, wasn't keen on the 3d version though

Tealc · 1 May 2011 at 17:26

Played this on Atari ST a lot.

Jokester · 1 May 2011 at 17:26

Yeah had it on the ST as well, was never any good at it though.

Played it on the Amiga and loved it.

The missions where you had to use multiple generals were tough.

I never took to any RTS games on the PC.

yes but i much preferred Mega Lo Mania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Lo_Mania

Neil79 · 1 May 2011 at 17:39

Wasn't there an expansion but based in WW1 ?

Haven't seen any youtube videos but i remember it

Class, i've got that on my system at the moment.. Just run the exe and straight into the game no need to set it up or anything

What 'system' are you running MLM on??!. It would be worth a thread of its own bigtime!!

Spent a lot of rainy days playing this. You can still play the Amiga version but going on that sticky up there ^ we cant mention how to play it.

I remember the walkthrough book for it. Had fun reading it. I always remember the protangist having a sheep he took through the whole campaign, when he got to the last island he killed it and used its skin to write his story on.

I had it on a disk from a friend "copied" on Atari ST. Got to admit it took me a long time to get any good at it and just as I'd think I was getting some where I'd get hammered!

Would have helped if I'd had the manual though..

I'm a beta tester for a certain amiga gaming site, you won't see amiga games ever again so it's not as if it will end up on steam

Here you go, one i've beta tested earlier this week and virus checked. Let me know how u get on, Pressing F12 during game and i think you can save states e.t.c

The copy protection on the ST version was cool. Every now and then it's show an image on screen and then you'd have to leaf through the manual and find what page it was on to continue. My photocopy of the manual got well thumbed through

I bought this for the Megadrive for around £2.

Good fun if a little limiting with the tiny map view.

I've been playing CorsixTH, really great fun.

I need to play Settlers 2 again. Populous is also high up on my list.

Semiskimmed · 2 May 2011 at 00:19

i saw this a few times when i had my megadrive, as a kid and thought the 1990's equivalant to 'meh'

Always used to rent it for the Mega Drive from a local shop! Fun game!

Never even knew it came out on PC.
