This classic game should be added to the list! what do ya say GoG.com?! :D

We can put it up as a contender for crappiest game on GOG right next to MoO3.

What on earth did people ever see in that game (unmappable, insanely stupid control scheme included)?!

Black and White was awesome! If difficult to control, had an annoyingly unskippable tutorial, and trying to hit anything was a pain. Man, that sounds so negative.

Black & White certainly wasn't flawless, but it was innovative and very funny. Anybody remember these guys?

I remember always trying to murder them, does that count? I was never a very loving god...

That was the thing that always annoyed me: you were supposed to be some god and yet you spent your time micromanaging the morons lives, because being a god according to Molyneux was someone who carried the wheat from one area to another. I mean, you even had to sacrifice your own sacrifices yourself! They're meant to be done for you, that's kinda the point.

And the beastie, why the hell they brought that into the game I don't know. It seemed like they decided to merge two different games together, one about a god who acted like he was the worshippers bitch with one about managing a pet that shits all over the place...

If you have a god complex try Dungeon Keeper or DK2, Overlord if you need something modern, every single one is a better game and you actually get to be a powerful (albeit evil) guy.

Oh god, I could have gone the rest of my life without hearing this ever again...

Hey, I liked both of them... :P I actually liked the more hands-off, top-down approach MoO3 took towards space empire management, and mods only made it better. Black and White was fun, except I could never train my creature to stop being an ass to my villagers; I think I would spend 75% of the game towards the end just beating the thing.

I suppose, as usual, I am in the minority. :)

EDIT: Beating your creature was actually rather amusing as well, so all was not lost even there!

Black and White was a severely mis-understood game. As is demonstrated by the comment about needing to micro-manage your villagers. If you let your villages get into a state where they were dependent on you in order to survive, you were not playing it very wisely.

Whereas you did need to micro-manage your creature, it's accepted that the creature was too heavily influenced by a few actions, such that a lot of training could be undone simply by ignoring him for 10 minutes.

I play it again every so often, now I know a bit more about how it works (for example growing forests with the water miracle rather than using the wood miracle) it is good fun.

Will we see it on here? Well, if one of those big publishers GOG are talking to is Microsoft, then I would fully expect we would (I assume MS acquired the IP when they bought Lionhead).

Hmm....reminds of an old SNES game called Act Raiser - haven't seen a game like it since.

That game is the shit

Who owns rights of Lionhead´s games, with Bullfrog is EA.

As I said, I assume that Microsoft acquired the IP when they bought Lionhead.
