A fuller, better designed Populous sequel set in Greek mythology. Still stiff on pad but rich for god game fans.

Populous II - Trials of the Olympian Gods (SNES) price, value & rarity
This Japanese edition of Populous II - Trials of the Olympian Gods on the Super Famicom offers the local original of Bullfrog's sequel, with its SFC cardboard box and spine card unique to that market. In Japan the Western god game stayed a less common genre, giving this release a cult-import status among Japanese collectors curious about divine sims from Europe. Desirability rests on this complete, intact SFC packaging, the spine card in good shape being the hardest element to preserve on this variant.
