Runtime: 61 Minutes
Take a seat and listen to the story of Populous, the strategy game from the god genre, developed by Bullfrog, and released in April 1989. As part of its story, we'll revisit the history of Bullfrog Productions, and learn about Populous' artist, Glenn Corpes. We'll also talk about the god genre, and briefly touch on other games in it. Finally, we'll take yet another opportunity to poke fun at Peter Molyneaux, this time with the help of Peter Molydeaux. Join us for today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
