I've started having some severe problems with Populous.  It worked fine on the
first 3 worlds (1,4,7), but when I got to world 11 problems began.  The first
thing I noticed was that several words were missing from the beginning screen,
i.e. WATER IS _______.  I rebooted the machine, tried again, and I got the
initial screen correctly.  About halfway into the game, I clicked on the zoom
to knight icon.  The screen was filled with knights (I only had 1), my people
fighting the other people (I had no people there), and brown vertical bars
were all over the screen.  The garbage even started trashing the icon controls
in the bottom right corner.  I clicked the zoom to leader icon, and everything
went back to normal.  I repeated this several times and got garbage everytime.
So, I decided to try to finish the game and not click on that icon.  I found
the same trashed screens as I went to the enemy territory.  Then my cursor
started working erratically.  Finally, the game just stopped, although the
music continued in the background, none of the controls did anything.
Has anyone else had these problems with Populous?
