==Legacy== In 1990 Bullfrog used the ''Populous'' engine to develop ''[[Powermonger]]'', a strategic combat-oriented game with similar mechanics to ''Populous'', but with a [[3D computer graphics|3-dimensional]] graphical interface. In 1991 they developed and released a true sequel, ''[[Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods]]'', and in 1998 a further direct sequel, ''[[Populous: The Beginning]]''. ''Populous'' was also released on the SNES, developed by Imagineer as one of the original titles for the console in Japan,<ref name="EdgeOnline"/> and features the addition of a race based on the [[Three Little Pigs]]. ''[[Populous DS]]'', a new version of the game (published by [[Xseed Games]] in America and [[Rising Star Games]] in Europe), was developed by [[Genki (company)|Genki]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] and released 11 November 2008. The game allows the user to shape the in-game landscape using the DS's [[stylus]]. It also features a multiplayer mode allowing four players to play over a wireless connection.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hatfield |first1=Daemon |title=E3 2008: Census Taken of Populous DS |url=http://ds.ign.com/articles/891/891574p1.html |website=IGN |date=July 17, 2008 |url-status=unfit|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080722082902/http://ds.ign.com/articles/891/891574p1.html|archive-date=July 22, 2008}}</ref> ''Populous'' has been re-released through [[GOG.com]] and on [[Origin (service)|Origin]] through the [[Humble Bundle|Humble Origin Bundle]] sale.
