Well *I* didnt get it to run. it just worked. However it was the 1st time I 
ever saw populous and asked my friend "why are the little men _running_ 
around?" and he said "thats the point. on a 500 they walk around, slowly..."

Apprantly it was really fast on a 3000, it may not be very playable as a
result. I suppose I can ask him what he did <he just popped in the disk and it
ran...>
