I played a bunch of Populous on Amiga as a young child, thinking a lot about ideas of God and civilization. It was a very unique experience for me to play that game; an awesome and terrifying feeling. It didn't explain anything. You push a button, sometimes it does nothing (not enough mana or whatever), sometimes the whole earth would shake and lives are destroyed. The feeling of satisfaction when castles are formed.

I remember the launcher desktop icon would be a hut. But when you double-click it turns into the castle. So friggin cool. Just the sense of mystery behind it all.
