Populous The Beginning was amusing and way ahead of it's time. Used to play it in simpler times. I would build up the economy and my friend would do the warring

The Beginning got TONS of crap when it came out. DK2 as well, although a bit less so because it's less of a departure.

I've gone back to both since and I agree with you that Populous was way ahead of its time and holds up much better than other strategy games of the time.

Still waiting for that fan remake to be released :(
