Populous is a groundbreaking “god game” series by Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog, debuting on PC in 1989. Players assume the role of a deity, guiding followers, shaping terrain, and wielding divine powers to defeat rival gods. Innovative for its time, it combined strategy, simulation, and indirect control, letting players raise mountains, flood valleys, or smite enemies to influence civilizations.

Sequels like Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods expanded mechanics and mythological themes. Celebrated for its originality and addictive gameplay, Populous helped define the god game genre, inspiring countless strategy titles and cementing Molyneux as a visionary in PC game design.
