You can load a saved game from the Game Menu or from the Game Requester.

1. If you’re currently in a game, left-click on the Game Requester icon. When

the Game Requester appears, left-click on the Load Game button.

If you’re not in a game, you must find your way to the Game Menu. Once
you’re there, left-click on Load Game.

2. Left-click on the up/down arrows to scroll through the saved game files.

When you see the name of the game you want to load, left-click to bring the
name up in the file bar, and then left-click on Load. (Alternately, you can
simply double-click on the file name to select it.)

When playing a game, you can quit by pressing Shift-Esc, or by selecting the Quit
Map option from the Game Requester. When the Game Menu is showing, pressing
Shift-Esc quits the game altogether and takes you to DOS.

The IBM version of Populous II features a help function. If you have questions
about any Effects icon, hold down the H key on your keyboard and left-click on
the icon. A description of the icon’s function appears. 

When playing a Conquest game, you may decide you’d rather be playing a Custom
game, thereby allowing you to freely edit the screen. Press Alt-C to change a
Conquest game to a Custom game. Once you’ve changed it, you can’t change it
back to a Conquest game. Note that your success or failure in the Custom game has
no effect on your progress in the Conquest series.

For more on editing a Custom Game, see Custom Game under Game Menu in
your manual.
