Populous SNES
Game Information
You play a god, gaming against other gods in a celestial game of conquest. To win, you must help your chosen people take over the world and wipe out the vermin who worship that other god. Each god starts out with a single human, dumped into the middle of the wilderness. Sometimes there is inhabitable land in sight, sometimes not. To get win, you must change the landscape, creating flat land for your followers to build on. The more followers you have you have, the more powerful you will be, so take care of them. Build as fast as you can, because the other god is doing the same. When you have enough followers, you can make the leader of your people into a hero. He will then go around the land you have built, literally taking strength from the people into himself, and working his way toward the enemy. When he gets there, he will engage in holy warfare upon your enemy's people. He will burn; he will kill. And he won't stop until they're all dead... or he is.

Additional Information
You are given the power to command the forces of nature. You can create earthquakes, floods, volcanoes and other catastrophes, and you can even turn fertile plains into barren wastelands or oceans into fertile plains. Omnipotent as you are, there is a limit to your powers. It all depends on how many followers are at your command. You use these people to build towns, raise crops, multiply, invade the enemy, attack followers of Evil, burn towns and destroy crops. Once the forces of Good significantly outnumber the forces of Evil, you should call for Armageddon, a final doomsday battle.
There are 989 worlds in the universe of Populous. Ten types of terrain are used, including grassy plains, rock and lava, desert and snow and ice. Three modes of play are available: Tutorial, Conquest and Custom. The Custom mode lets you change landscapes, jump to new worlds and set the computer against itself. You can even play the part of the Evil deity!
Controls: Gamepad/Joystick

TM
You are a Supreme Being. The forces of nature are at
your command. The earth rumbles at your fingertips,
the oceans swell at your touch. Your faithful worshipers
depend on you to provide them with fertile land so they
can multiply and grow in strength, helping you conquer
the world. All in the name of goodness.
But evil scours the land while you toil. Move quickly
and lead your following to face the heart of darkness.
The thunderous heartbeat of evil pulses relentlessly,
calling you forth to your destiny.
This is no mortal task. But
fear not, you are no mortal!
