Genre: Simulation

Release	Date	RRP	Code

Populous (ポピュラス) is a 1989 computer simulation game by Bullfrog in which players play as a deity who controls land to affect peoples's lives in the hopes of crushing followers of another deity. It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive internationally and Sega Master System in Europe. The American Mega Drive version does not have any TMSS support at all. A sequel, Two Tribes: Populous II was also made for the Mega Drive — whether or not it is related to the actual Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods is unknown.
