What is a .pack file?

A .pack file is a Multiverse-ready campaign bundle. It contains everything needed for the Multiverse Launcher to install a campaign automatically — maps, scripts, AI files, and metadata. Instead of manually copying files into your Populous directory, you simply click the Multiverse icon on a campaign page or open the .pack file with the launcher, and it handles the installation for you.

Twenty-Five levels using modified levels and scripts of Bullfrog.
Countdown Challenge
Twenty-Five levels with timers that must be creatively conquered.
