Populous

Patience REQUIRED! Playing God you basically flatten large areas of land to help your people grow strong. The more flat land you have the bigger the houses thus the stronger your people. Create Knights that automatically march to kill enemies and summon natural disasters to wreak havoc on the opponents as your people continuously wander around building more houses. Tons of different themed worlds. Same as the SNES version but with lower quality graphics and sound effects. Some of the music is different too. All actions are represented by icons on the game screen and so no Japanese knowledge is needed. A bit of a poor conversion compared to what I had hoped, but it's still Populous and it's still (with patience) fairly fun.
