Premise: From the designers of Populous comes an unprecedented game in which you fight battles, invent new technologies, make alliances, or spy on your enemies. In a world without kings, power is the only law. Unite each territory under your control by either word or sword, or or face bitter defeat at the hands of other powermongers. Your choice of human or computer oppoents. (Electronic Arts)
Impressions: Power Monger has even more addictive qualities than Populous (Computer Gaming World)

Recommended Emu: Megasis (severe graphics problems, but at least it doesn't crash every time it generates the tabletop 3D map as do most other emulators)
