A prototype of an unreleased port of Populous for the NES.
Notes
- Developed by Enigma Variations, was to be published by Imagineer
- This is the final build; while the game was completed, Imagineer opted to not publish the title as they believed sales would have been poor, given the date of the game's completion (1992)
- Miscellaneous Notes:
- Game is emulatable: Yes (as of May 17, 2025).
- Issues: In Mednafen, it had corrupted sprite during the game startup and in-game.
