helpful flash game for those who've never played any of the populous games

not sure how much of the aspects this would cover out of the original games as its been quite a while since i tried playing one myself (partly due to a lack of info on how to even play, i.e. no instruction manual or guide) but i think this flash game covers the basics. heck, i think i'm around halfway or further and am getting by mainly with manipulating the elevations to expand my population real fast on each island.

behold, Reprisal, a flash game based on the old populous games :) bit on the easy side imo but still fun enough

Ha yeah, I remember the first time I played Populous on the snes. Took me an hour just to figure out how the mana/worship system worked, let alone raising/lowering land in a way that promotes population growth.

Been playing this flash game for about twenty minutes now and it's pretty fun, the added powers are a nice touch. Only issue is the game moves along so slowly =/

yeah but it makes for a nice tutorial for beginners. and i think i had a easier time figuring out that one populous game where you play as a greek god or some such than i did the other games in that series.

good series, not so much as far as controls being explained
