I just wonder if you can save games, so this >program does not steal what's left of the little sleep I get. If you want a good solid game that's not too absorbing, you don't want to get Populous! This game gets a little addictive (okay, a lot!! 6^) ). I know that I have played this game for a "few minutes" that were hours long! I am pretty sure that it does have a save feature (I haven't played it in a while. I borrowed from a friend and he took it back (not without an argument! 6^) ). It also has an option for playing over modems, but you need two copies of the game. It also has some other nice features plus the ability to make up your own scenario or to set the options for "Evil." "Well done, Mortal!!" harve!
