Actually, mosts games you pick up won't run on anything but a 68000
processor.  It's not the fault of the programmer (he was thinking of
A500/2000/2500 users) that his GAME code doesn't run on advanced
processors.  I own an A2500 and don't see the use in getting an A3000
for the sole reason it doesn't have a switchable 68000 inside it.  To
me, that trashes about 50 percent of the upward compatibility that
really should be there.

And hell, Populous is only a game anyway.

(It's NOT the copyprotection... it's the game code!  Try running Shadow
of the Beast on a 68020 - no go!)
