This was probably the most fun programming-style puzzle game I ever played. And, it doesn't even require any traditional programming skills or knowledge, as everything is done via a GUI design where you are wiring together various engine parts, weapons, sensors, etc. in appropriate ways to define the correct functioning. I had endless hours of fun replaying the various levels (and longing for more), and tweaking my vehicle designs to try to improve their functioning. It was one of the early Linux game ports, and that's why I initially bought it, as I was supporting just about all games released on Linux at the time. I kept it installed across multiple computer upgrades for years until eventually losing it in an upgrade at some point long ago. I miss it and would love the chance to play it again. It is just criminally underrated. Almost no one else I know has ever even heard of it until I tell them about it.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
