games-pc populous ii ユーザーズマニュアル

There are two ways to play Populous II against a human opponent: using
a modem to connect to a remote player, or by using a null modem cable
to connect the serial ports of two computers (this is 

datalink mode).

To play a serial game, both players need original copies of Populous II.

Decide:
• Who is going to play as the Good god, and who plays Bad. 
• Who will send and who will receive (remember, the one who sends is

paying the phone bill).

• Times for game pauses When one player pauses, the other gets

automatically paused.

1. Get a null modem cable. You can probably find one in your local

computer store.

2. Make sure power to both machines is OFF.
3. Connect the cable between the serial ports of the two computers. 
4. Turn both machines ON.
5. Boot the game on both machines and start the game in Custom mode

by left-clicking on CUSTOM at the Game Menu.

6. Next choose who is going to be the Good god and the Bad god.
7. Left-click on the Game Requester icon. 
8. When the Game Requester screen appears, left-click on SERIAL

GAME.

9. When the Link Requester screen appears, adjust your baud rate by

left-clicking on the arrows on either side of the BAUD RATE number.
Baud rates of the two modems MUST be the same.

10. Left-click on CONNECT.

You’ll get a message box that tells you the modem’s trying to connect
and what number try it’s on. It will stop as soon as you’re connected.
