Name the game?

A couple of years ago (5-7) I had a very good game on my PC that I lost when I bought a new computer.

In the game you were a witchdoctor that builds houses and commanded workers, priests and warriors. The mission was to destroy and kill the other witchdoctor and his armies. Your powers were; throwing fireballs, lightning, create tornados and create earthquakes.

Does anyone here know what the game was called?

Populous: The Beginning.

You're welcome. Now, if only I could find my disc.

Populous and Populous 2 were better.

Bite me. Nothing beats walking up to somebody and smacking them across the face with a stick, and then unleashing an unholy plague upon their civilization, followed by the Angel of Death.

And my computer won't run those two anyway.

WTF? My old Gateway from 1999 would run them!!

My mother managed to download a virus on the computer, and didn't do anything for about 2 weeks. I didn't even notice until I tried playing Rebellion and now the damned machine won't run any DOS programs.

I think I should have reversed the order in my last post.

Well, the virus is dead. Unfortunately, I have not the time, knowledge, or permission to back up important shit and then kill everything. And I'm fighting a losing battle as it is, since I'm the only person who uses the machine that does not download spyware left and right.

Indeed it does. I have repeatedly expressed my desire to purchase an Alienware (I have enough saved up from my craptacular job to buy one twice over), but have been rebuffed many times because I apparently don't need my own computer. Try to play Halo with about 200 un-killable programs running in the background.

I have Populous: The Beginning, but I never liked it that much.

Have a very nice day.

Put your foot down. Tell them they have a choice, learn how not to fuck things up or let you use your own money to get a computer to yourself. Or if that won't work you could always run spybot s&d and have it scan everytime you log in to your account. Then you should atleast kill most of the bugs.

Stepfather does not take kindly to having his authority challenged. Last time I tried to tell them that A) I had a job, and thus it was my money, and B) that the shit I buy with my money is my property, he decided to prove me wrong by hiding damn near every piece of electronic equipment at his workplace. I'm fairly sure the only reason he didn't try to hit me was because I am a student of Tae Kwon Do and Judo.

And I think I have effectively hijacked this thread, even though its original purpose has been served.

Original question answered, thus lock.

The merits of ass-kicking stepfathers and the Populous series may continue elsewhere if you wish.
