Ohhhhhhhh
We've got this notion
That we'd quite like to sail the ocean
So we're building a big boat to leave here for good
Now we're not keen on sinking
So that's why we're sitting thinking
'cause we've built it too big and we've run out of wood
The game of my childhood. I remember my sister introducing me to the game and making me dream. I'd watch my sister play for hours, with a cult moment in one of the quests, the song about the guy asking for wood for his boat. Even today, the game still makes me dream, with its innovative gameplay for its time. ❤️
A the time Black & White seemed to be an incredibly complex and multi-faceted game. Every choice you made mattered and pushed you towards Good or Evil, which had a direct manifestation on your familiar (my favorite was the Cow of course). Now that I think of it - even today's games aren't as complex as B&W. And of course nothing beats throwing peasants into the ocean and feeding them to your familiar to make it more Evil :D
One of my favorite games from my childhood. I loved the missions and side missions of this game. The most memorable for me were the sailors on the 1st island or this monk you needed to sneak up on and follow. The biggest feature was the creature you needed to teach miracles and how to behave. I always wanted to be good and teach my creature to be good too, but it was hard and people still needed something. I hope when it comes it will also comes with expansion "Creature Isle".
Black and White is in my top 3 games of all time. It is a true gem in gaming history and it deserves to be available for purchase and to be maintained. I can't say enough how important this title is to me and how it shaped my taste over the years. Nostalgia is just another reason I would like to be able to play it again. Brilliant title, way ahead of its time, absolutely worth bringing back.
It's one of these games that made me upgrade my PC to get it to run half decently. Also I never made it past I think World 4 so I have some catching up to do. It is an absolute unique specimen and I always loved spending time in the world, watching the people do their daily work and interacting with your creation. It's absolute gold besides it's flaws.
Black and white, and in particular Black and White 2 for me are such unique games. They are the peak of Lionhead and there has been nothing like this since.
I remember getting the chance to play it with my friends who had the first 'gaming rig'.
Hopefully if it gets released, and with a positive following then companies like EA will see there is still a considerable opportunity to create a Black and White 3. For me it's a no-brainer when considering assessments on where the big corporates should invest their money.
I believe there never was a game again where your hand was just in the game. The Dungeon Keeper core memory was slapping chicken with my hand and in Black and White the 3d Handcursor was even more immersive!
So many memories of when I was little, I tried to play it lately but without cd and on gog to last forever would be so much better!! Lionheart was one of the most innovative studio

The narrative delves into the origins of the series' antagonists, the Sinistrals, a group of super-humans. Players take on the role of the ancestor of Maxim, the protagonist from the first game, as he embarks on a quest after encountering Iris, a mysterious woman. Maxim seeks other heroes to join forces in preventing the Sinistrals from wreaking havoc and destroying the world.
