Populous (KEY FOR ORIGIN)

Miracles are child's play. Earthquakes are serious fun. The all-powerful can perform miracles in their sleep. But omnipotence isn't what it used to be. These days, it takes awesome natural disasters to dominate a world. You give them good land. You tell them when to farm and when to fight. You make them content beyond their wildest dreams. But then they become raging arsonists. What's a deity to do? Disasters are your divine prerogative - volcanoes, quakes, swamps. For stubborn non-believers, nothing beats a flood for spring cleaning. Cruel ice, lush grassland, parched desert... With 500 worlds, a deity's work is never done.

Before jumping into this piece of gaming history, we wanted to give you a couple of quick tips to best enjoy Populous.

1. When you start the game, it'll ask for your name and a question: "What world uses this shield?" Don't worry if you don't know the answer--in fact, you can just type whatever you want there. We've modified this verification check to accept any answer. Type anything in and keep gaming.

2. There's no "exit" function in Populous. One way to quickly exit the game is to simply press Alt-Tab (which will switch programs); this keeps the game open and is a good way to sneak in a Populous session while working on something else. If you want to exit and close it altogether, you can also try pressing Ctrl-Esc when playing fullscreen or Ctrl-F9 when playing it in a window.
