Black & White

Black & White

Postby Jiirani » May 14th, 2011, 3:30 pm

Has anyone ever played Black & White? It's by far my all time favorite game, but isn't very well known. It was created by Lionhead Studios in 2001, and to this day has always been my all time favorite game. Here's the opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8sfa_KKpFY

In this game, you play as a God, controlling your villagers. You can perform miricles, like summon the power of water into your hand [The only part of the 'god' visible] and water crops, create food, massive explosions etc. It's your job to make sure the villagers are happy, and you go through quests and worlds etc, it's a very exciting and difficult game, although it doesn't sound it. If you do good deeds, your hand and temple gets pale and surrounded by butterflies, if you do bad deeds, you become evil, and your hand becomes red with long black nails, your temple becomes twisted and nasty looking, but it's pretty awesome. You also get a creature and can control it, it's a massive animal that can perfom miricles/do what ever you want it to. Your creature also looks good/evil if you let it do good/bad things xD
Here are some images:

Lion and Tiger creatures. Like I said, creatures can become the size of mountains :D

Evil Temple

There aren't many images around I'm afraid. The graphics aren't great, but they are relaly good considering the time it's from. The second games graphics are better but the game itself wasn't as good [to me] mostly because you had to build your towns to get other towns to migrate to them/ attack other towns, and I just prefered the first game xD

The creatures are kinda like furries, lol. I dunno if this is classed as advertising, but i'm sorry if it is. Has anyone here ever played either of these games? I've never met anyone who has, and it's a shame because it's totally worth it to play it.

Sorry for the really long post Dx

But anyway, do you have any pics of the the good temple? This game looks odd, but it might be worth looking into.
