Black & White from Lionhead Studios released originally back in 2001 went on to great reviews, and won various awards. Sadly, it's one game that has also been lost to time but the openblack project plans to revive it with open source.

    For no reason, or non logical explanation, and after playing thousand of games in my life, I feel love for this particular game. It reminds me good times. Like the game Sacrifice.

      I really loved this game. There was something to it that I think went on to inspire spore and maybe other games too.

    This sounds awesome! The Black and White series is one of the most requested games on GoG.

    Hopefully, the devs can work out some the wonkiness in the orginal.

      You can accuse Peter Molyneaux for a lot of things, but he did manage to come up with some interesting wacky shit interspersed with all the exaggerations and scams.

      Scared the crap out of me when it happened too. Wouldn’t work today though, as my wife named our user accounts and I doubt they have a recording of someone whispering “Mr Bitchtits”.

      I will hurl fire, brimstone, and feces at towns which do not believe in me! And then send them an uncharacteristically good natured tortoise to smooth things over from all the death and destruction that rained from the sky mere moments before.

      My creature thinks I’m a benevolent god. Which means it must also think the world outside our domain is in a constant state of annihilation.

        Poison the food, burn down the houses, kill all the villagers, then migrate a couple loyal believers to breed me some new followers.

        So much easier to grow new ones than to convert existing ones.

    I always felt this game was begging for a VR remake.

    I’m surprised that it didn’t become one of the first.

    I’ve got a copy of this somewhere. It could be in my closet…or Vermont. I should find it and yeet some villagers into the ocean again.

      Recommend making an image of it as disc rot and degradation will be a thing. DVD shelf life is pretty wide at 30-100 years.

      maybe i’m just a dork but that’s why we’ve got an old usb 3.5 disk drive and shit. I’m not losing all that old media if I can help it.
