Populous (ポピュラス) is a Sega Mega Drive strategy simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts. A port of the developer's titular 1989 Amiga computer game Populous, it was first released in the United States later that year.
Alongside Budokan: The Martial Spirit and Zany Golf, it was among the first batch of Mega Drive games Electronic Arts developed, and was initially intended to be released as an unlicensed game; Sega's last-minute negotiations prevented this, but US copies of the game were not updated to comply with Sega's licensed ROM requirements, rendering American copies of the game incompatible with TMSS and only compatible with early Genesis units. European and Japanese copies were recoded to comply and work on all systems. (Sega would also publish the game in Japan, as this game predated the establishment of Electronic Arts Victor.)
The game was ported to the Sega Master System courtesy of developer Code To Go and publisher TecMagik, and first released in Europe in October 1991.
