I was expecting download.com to sell it but I was wrong.

 

by: ReyMacLeodPosted on 2003-03-13 at 22:08:35ID: 8134247

Do you want to buy the game or you want to look for a free full version to download ?
if you want to buy the game, you can buy it from ebay, just go to ebay and search for the title

 

by: VIBESPROPosted on 2003-03-25 at 17:29:06ID: 8207396

I found it at ebay but they don't except international credit cards through paypal.  You see I live in the Caribbean and not all places excepts our credit cards ;(

if they is a download version, free or pay for, I'll take it.

On a side note.

Populous the Beginning (full version)

Is not NT compatible. IT wont work on NT, 2000, or Xp.

The demo is NT compatible somehow.

 

by: jgherkinPosted on 2004-02-20 at 11:19:18ID: 10415331

Until recently I thought Populous was XP Incompatible but there is a patch I found somewhere on the net that I think originally came from www.megagames.com which not only makes the game XP compatible but also allows it to run without the CD, if you can't find these files anywhere contact me at jgherkin@hotmail.com and I can try and find a way to send them to you.  Sent them to two of my friends and we have great multiplayers :D

 

by: jgherkinPosted on 2004-04-16 at 10:50:53ID: 10844600

I've been told the patch isn't there and I've had about 10 people come to me for the file yet hotmail won't let me send it so I have had to rely on peeps being able to use MSN messenger.

Before emailing me for the fix now try http://www.strategyplanet.com/populous/downloads.shtml and download the "Collective Patch". This is what I now use and the peeps running this site have put up their own matchmaker to replace the one EA dropped so we can all have great multiplayer games! Yay! :D They also have lots of kewl addons such as loads and loads of new maps for multiplayer.
