Populous and Ultima IV hit GOG -- and Ultima's free

Most people played StarCraft 64 for 20 minutes or less, didn't like the control scheme, and gave up on it.

If you actually took time with it, it wasn't bad. It had alot of shortcuts built-in for controller-users. As long as you weren't expecting 150+ APM, it worked fine.

I don't know if the pc version of Populous has mouse control. I had the SNES version of it, and it was fine for me.

@Destati I bought populous on the DS and you are right it didnt work.

Populous is still Peter Molyneux's best game to date.

@Destati you dont seem to have played Populous then, I played that on an Apple IIe without a mouse.

@Fire Walk With Me

Populous on the DS would have been fine if they hadn't changed the formula. My biggest complaint is they took it from one all powerful deity to forcing you to play as a deity with specific elemental affinities.

I might have been able to more easily forgive something like Populous: Battle of the elementals. Where you were summoned back to the world, didn't have all your powers but as you thwarted each elemental you regained the abilities you lost. Because the new characters were interesting.

But the game suffered from a serious case of "if it isn't broken don't fix it" and they tried to fix it ~.~

@badr Then you have the patience of a god

@a falling stone From Dust defo has a Populous vibe.
