Yes! Same core developing team, actually, just a few years later. I played Populous: The Beginning, the sequel to Populous, which was tons of fun. This team also did Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2. DK2 was another one of my fav games. You controlled a dungeon of evil monsters and defended it against marauding D&D style heroes.
Sadly, the lead developer of these games, Peter Molyneaux, sort of went off the deep end in the 2000’s, and became a scammer of sorts in the XBox era, always promising more than his games were capable of, when he started working on Fable and its sequels. Maybe these earlier “God games” were only great because of another person he was working with, and he just took the credit as the leader, I can’t otherwise explain why someone who made such brilliant things totally lost the touch a decade later.

@tiny-ivy Yes I know about Molyneaux and his sad story, I don’t think he’s involved with the latest Fable, the one with the sizey elements we’ve seen in the teasers? I hope not!
But yeah I was a fan of Bullfrog and I played Populous on my brother’s computer (thanks to him I could play games my parents wouldn’t have wanted me to play lol)
Never got into Dungeon Keeper, but heard they are classics. My other favourite was a cyberpunk one called Syndicate, you had missions to complete with a team of agents, didn’t understand it too much but setting people on fire never got old
