  12. Has anyone played this game?
  13.  
  14. I seem to always have the same problem..  I can get about 10 Elephants
  15. and 15 or so deer running around, plenty of vegitation, and suddenly
  16. everything dies in about 2 years...  They don't reproduce and just
  17. keep dying...
  18.  
  19. However, the computer has *one* elephant and has almost full manna..
  20. (But hey, don't computer oponates usually "cheat"? :)
  21.  
  22. I switch my 500 to PAL mode, obviously, to play, but it looks like there
  23. is STILL buttons missing off the bottom of the screen.  I only get one
  24. row.  Possibly that's all there is..
  25.  
  26. In case most people haven't seen it, this is a Populous (et al) clone.
  27. You try to get some animals thriving and control them, rather than
  28. a battle..  (Although the computer enjoys sending lion's after my
  29. deer..)
  30.  
  31. I like this game...  I must admit, I have never played any of the
  32. commercial games of this nature, so possibly this is quite primitive
  33. comparitively.
  34.  
  35. Seeya..
