     I have seen the "Control Entities" cut through the computer settled
areas- in fact, they usually just cut across one row, obliterating anything
in their path.  Seems to be random as to which row.

     I agree that Populous is not as great as it's cracked up to be.  I lost
interest after I noticed the computer cheating.  I might regain interest if
I find an opponent to play against via modem...but I'm almost certain to buy
a GVP 030 card in a day or so, and I've heard the game doesn't like 020's
and 030's.  Meaning it will probably end up in my "disks to be formatted"
pile.

     RE finding good games: I've never been disappointed with a CinemaWare
entry.  SimCity is great, too, as is Swords of Twilight, esp. if you have
friends to adventure with.
