If asked to name the game that I have clocked up more hours with than any other? Easy. Peter Molyneux’s second game, the game that made Bullfrog synonymous with quirky simulations: hello again, Populous.

If i remember correctly. I think Populous was the first game that 2 players could play against each other on different machine models.

You could play against each other using an Amiga and Atari ST with a null serial cable.

Remember playing this for hours, I'd conquer one world then think to myself just one more every time.
