In Populous, the game skips you over worlds if you really whup the computer. Is there any way to find out the names or to otherwise to go those skipped worlds? I'd like to see what they look like. Besides, gods don't like to be told that they can't do something :-) Actually, the game brings to mind the quote - "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." -- Rich Carreiro - Most Biased Boston Celtics Fan!

OK, I've got to world #123 in Populous, and can I get any further? How do I beat the machine when it can do everything except flood 3 times as fast as I can? I've tried every trick I know, but I get continuously earthquaked, then vol- canoed, then he sends x knights after me which are impossible to drown, then my manna drops to 0 and all I can do is watch my men die. HELP! I've also tried going back to the previous do-able one, but the best I can do there just sends me on to an identical scenario. #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# # If you're of the opinion that if anything CAN go wrong it WILL go wrong, you # # may think you're paranoid.
