This is the cut scene from when you fail a level in Populous: The Beginning.
Populous: The Beginning | The Menu & Unveiling the Intro Story!

Just like on the intro story, although this is extracted/screen recorded in December 2024, decided that this will be listed chronologically as part of the year 1998. In this instance, following the intro story.
Tempe Tardeada 2008! ========================= From October 12, 2008 =========================
The Tempe Tardeada is a festival celebrating Tempe's Hispanic culture and community that takes place yearly the Tempe Community Complex, which is where the Tempe History Museum is located.
You'll notice that the first image is of the title/header they used that year, while the second image shows the quick info I put together to encourage people to attend the event. If I remember correctly, this may have been the first time I attended, or at least the first time I went and took photos.
A tardeada is a social dance that is traditionally held on Sunday afternoons. This event is the culmination of Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrates the historical significance of Hispanics within our community.
Tempe's Tardeada festival usually offers traditional and modern Hispanic dancing and music, tortilla-making demonstrations, a look at Tempe's historic Hispanic roots, food trucks, activities for the children and more. It's a chance for families from throughout Tempe to gather and spend time with each other.
One of my favorite games is Populous: The Beginning, which I've been playing since 1998.
I love the unique blend of strategy and simulation, especially the building aspect. As a shaman, I guide my tribe by shaping the land, creating structures, and using powers to expand and defend. The satisfaction of constructing settlements, enhancing my tribe’s abilities, and strategically growing the population while overcoming challenges is what makes the game so engaging. It’s a perfect mix of creativity, planning, and tactical gameplay.
PS: Decided that, although I've extracted/screen recorded this in December 2024, this will go chronologically as part of the year 1998. I got the game for PC and got it almost as soon as it was released and still have the disc for this stored. I don't remember the exact date I got it; however, according to ChatGPT, the original release date is October 31, 1998. Wikipedia lists it as November 17, 1998, and on Steam, the most recent version shows as November 26, 1998. Therefore, I'll list it chronologically as October 31st.
LONGie SONGies is the name that I gave this mixtape. On the inside of the sleeve, in addition to the title, I wrote the date 1-20-97, checked the CD as the source, and Dance Party twice on the Side A section. Nothing was recorded on Side B. This means that this is a mix that came from a CD and only recorded up to what would fit on Side A.
Now, I don't remember having a CD titled Dance Party, therefore this may have come from a CD or other compilation that somebody let me borrow that I then recorded. The change to each track is quite noticeable as well. Additionally, this is a mixtape that, though I listened to on occasion, didn't have as much play as others as you can tell by the tape, sleeve, and jewel case being in almost pristine condition.
Though I tried to gather as much information as possible for this recording, I wasn't able to find a definitive source for all the music on this mashup even after YouTube, Google, Gemini, and ChatGPT assistance. Therefore, the song list may not be completely accurate.
