Populous was a great game. But if you are going to play it, the NES version was one of the worst. Play the Amiga or Genesis versions.

Probably my favourite game on the Amiga back in the day

Populous on the Atari ST was a real time sync for me. Great to see this

Wow complete with Hot Jams - who is the composer here I wonder - Kazuo Sawa looks to have done the PC 98 and SFC versions

According to the article, it's David Whittaker.
