With the powers of nature in your hand and the Blue tribe following, will you become the omnipotent entity?

With great power comes great responsibility and with small price comes great value--combine these two and you’ll get a GOG.com exclusive Populous™: The Beginning, a 3D Strategy game with almighty strength, released for only $5.99 right here on GOG.com.

The third part in the series, the first one in full 3D, Populous: The Beginning places you in control of a female shaman and her tribe. You need to battle your way through 25 planets and defeat the rival Dakini, Chumara, and Matak tribes for dominion over the solar system. Grow in followers, grow in strength and unleash the earth-shattering powers to wreak havoc and control your tribesman. Build your forces, annihilate the non-believers, and finally become the ultimate almighty ruler of the Populous universe.

Execution of Populous: The Beginning is quite impressive: each scenario sports a different richly-detailed small world, and the engine accurately represents the fact that you are on a globe, with curved surfaces and an effective horizon. The creators of Populous and Dungeon Keeper packed some clever ideas, fun-to-play gameplay, 3D graphics, and sweet multiplayer into a perfect cure for gamers with a god complex. If you like real-time strategy games, this is one of the most innovative and well-designed you’ll be ever likely to play, especially when it’s only $5.99, available now on GOG.com

Damn you GOG, I need structure in my life!
I've bought it instantly!
Played the heck out of a demo way back when. Great fun.
Bought right away, This and Theme Hospital are my childhood! THANK YOU!

All i need now is Theme Park and Civ2 and thats basically my childhood.

I can't seem to get it running though - When it first starts it oferedd me hardware mode (and some resolution choices) or software mode - I chose hardware, now when i load it, it says

"3d device with the required capabilities could not be found. If you do have one please consult the troubleshooting section of reference card"



But now i cant bring backup the setup box? Shall i just un-install and try again?

EDIT - yeah works fine in software mode, sounds appears to keep making little noises little "blips" aside from that all good.

Not too young, 25. Probably just how I define childhood. I had an Amiga and Ataris etc.. when i was a "little kid" but from 6-13 (what i would call childhood) Stuff like Outrun/Theme Hospital/Populous/C&C95 just leave the strongest memories.
Hello GOG (or anyone who is already playing the GOG version),

Does this include the unofficial 1.03 patch?

I just loaded it up and it says version 1.01 (date nov20th 1998) so i assume not.

could that patch be added without any problems?
