Populous Review
...navy, Populous for the Nintendo DS is probably not for you. All this remake shows us is that 1989 was a long time ago, and that Populous needs a proper reimagining along the lines of Sid Meier's Pirates! to be relevant to a modern world.

More on Sid Meier's Pirates!
Description from Wikipedia:
Sid Meier's Pirates! is a computer game created by Sid Meier published by MicroProse in 1987. It was the first game to include the name "Sid Meier" in its title as an effort by MicroProse to attract fans of Meier's earlier games, most of which where flight simulators. The game is a simulation of the life of a pirate (more accurately, a privateer) in the Spanish Main in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
The game was widely ported from the original Commodore 64 version. It was ported to the Apple II (1987), as a PC booter (1987), Apple II (1988), Macintosh (1988), Amstrad CPC (1988), Atari ST (1989), Amiga (1990), and the Nintendo Entertainment System (1991).
The Atari ST version featured a copy protection scheme requiring the player to identify the first privateer ship they encountered by their flag. The Commodore 64, Amstrad, Apple II, PC and Amiga versions also used copy protection, in which the player had to confirm the timing of the different Treasure Fleets or Silver Trains by referring to the game manual. The Amiga and Atari ST versions featured the best graphics and audio of any of the original versions.
