Great game.
I remember playing it 10 years ago and i loved it then.

It would be great if someone can comeup with a manual as iam having problem figuring some things out like how to making a champion etc.

Thanks for the great review btw

P.S i found out that if you run go.bat you can run the game in higher resolution but it runs very choppy but very nice graphics.


If you use the normal pop2.exe it will run the game in 320x280 mode or somewhere near that.

A manual would certainly be handy. There is one one on HotU here but we can't host it since it's theirs!

Oooohh.... thanks for adding this one. I played Populous when it first came out and liked it. Looking forward to giving this one a go.

Great game!

Played it many many times in my childhood.

Although it's great and addictive, it stills wears off after about 10 battles.

However, a great game! k:

Is it possible that there isnīt any ingame sound?
The game starts with a theme running with dosbox. But when starting a game there isnīt any sound... :blink:

Run the install.exe to set the options, and then you have to run go.bat rather than pop2.exe to get sound (just skip the intro) - good point, I should've pointed that out in the review. An admin could always add it (and change the two things i mentioned above, too ) as I said in the review, I never got any music at all after the intro, although my settings might be wrong!

The last line in go.bat should read:

pop2 -sn -h /ss

Quite fun at first, but gets repetative.

Oh my God

1000 levels, each time I advance about 4 levels.

250 battles? Zeus is testing his own Son!

ps. I tried the pop2 -sn -h /ss but no sound. I run XP SP1. Tried again with VDMsound and Dosbox, still not work. Your help in explaining all switches (-sn, /ss) would be great.
