Sorry but Ao3's graphs surpass this one.

"Especially awe-inspiring is the fact that any single brain is made up of atoms that were forged in the hearts of countless stars billions of years ago... These atoms now form a conglomerate � your brain � that can not only ponder the very stars that gave it birth but can also think about its own ability to think and wonder about its own ability to wonder. With the arrival of humans�the universe has suddenly become conscious of itself. This, truly, is the greatest mystery of all." - Rama

I have played this game. I had fun. The god powers are pretty sweet.

Is this the one where you colonize other planets? I played it once when I was younger. It scared me.

Damn. Memories. I used to be obsessed with the DEMO of the game (which I got from SimCity 3000). The demo provided so much playability per se, I even played it winter 2004-2005. I loved playing with some of the powers in ways more complex than you would imagine. For example, in the 3rd level, forming a land bridge from cliff to cliff seals it off. Unfortunately, the enemy shaman formed a land bridge from valley to valley and killed that land bridge of mine.

It's only $10.50 off Amazon.com now, and I now have my own debit card and mailing address. Hmm.

Ah, Populous... a great game... better than Black and White IMO

didn't play B&W2, though.

Talking about Muline (sp? I don't really know how his name is spelled in English), did anyone play the Movies here?

I can relate. It was a really fun demo, but it interests me as to how I never really got around to purchasing the full game.

Since it's this cheap, I might as well buy it (with my credit card). Amazon takes debit...? o _ O
