I do not think Populous was strange.
I use to play it all the time back in 1990.
Most sim games are Great,GReat,GReat,GReat,GReat,GReat,GReat,GReat grandchildren of Populouse.
you know,
point click,
set up the Landscape,
Make some Godly sugesstions and Hope your people (or sims) listen.
I personlally think the Game "9" was really wierd. it was kind of a macavian type of weird and the images were kind of spooky expecially that plane and monkey.
Other weird (in a spooky way) "the 7th guest", the "11th hour"
THe game "Total Distortion" had some really wierd gameplay, It was fun, but almost imposible to find a few years after it was released. (there were a lot of Mac versions out, but that was back when Mac was on 68XXX and not compatible with PC)
