I’m not familiar with any of these. Which ones are worth getting?

Populous The Beginning was amusing and way ahead of it’s time. Used to play it in simpler times. I would build up the economy and my friend would do the warring

The Beginning got TONS of crap when it came out. DK2 as well, although a bit less so because it's less of a departure.

I've gone back to both since and I agree with you that Populous was way ahead of its time and holds up much better than other strategy games of the time.
