Populous The Beginning! I never played the other populous games but I have some very fond memories of this one. As a kid I just loved using spells to reshape the worlds and mess with the enemy AI. Dropping a volcano in the middle of their village and watching them go nuts was always so much fun.

Damn, Populous was my go to game back in the day. So much fun

Looks like somebody is in need of cash 😂. But to be fair, these games were back in the day mighty good. It's really a shame to see how both greed and ever growing ambitious killed creativity.

I own all of C&C on Origin, but I'd rather get a root canal without anesthetic than use their launcher. I paid Steam $10 instead.

I'm sure most of them have already been available on GoG for quite some time, I don't know what took them so long to port them over competing storefronts.
