More screenshots of the promising Populous port have just been released, revealing a remarkably faithful recreation of the PC version.
Originally released on the PC in 1989, Populous was a massive success and is regarded by many as beginning of the god game genre.
Players assumed control of a deity and were tasked with the duties of shepherding civilisation by direction, manipulation and divine intervention.
Unfortunately, those wanting to indulge their megalomaniac sides will have to look to their favourite import store, as Populous DS is still tapped to be a Japanese only release. Still, we can dream. Or import.
