I still have my original game disk I bought from a garage sale as a kid! The concept of being a god and crafting the society around you was so much fun! This game has never been available for digital sale as far as I know. I feel like GOG would be the perfect home for it!

The fact that this game is not talked about more saddens me to no end. This game is the king of god games. It was not really the first but the one that intoduced me and many others to god games.

Black and White, is one of those games that truly is a classic, it is the type of game that really defined god games in general. No game has ever really touched what Black and White set out to do and its uniqeness makes it stand out even today. I loved this game as a child I remember losing the CD many years ago and its so hard to find copies still in existance today. This game deserves to be on GOG and preserved for gamers into the future its just one of those classic must play games that (for now) has been lost to time.
I have the cd still, and the iso from it. Its hard to play on modern computers but you can get it to work. I would love GOG to get this on their platform. It is one of the great games that was way beyond its years.
I love this era of Lionhead games! There is a humor and creativity in this game that is rarely seen in modern games. It has so much personality that it is fun to play, in spite of the flaws.

I'm surprised there aren't more votes for this game. It was so well made and I have many fond memories of getting my followers to listen to me and then getting frustrated with them and showing them what happens when you anger a god.

Truly unique gaming experience B&W 1 and 2 would be an instant purchase for me. These games are all I played when I was little, nostalgia is a hell of a thing and maybe the games are as good as I remember them to be.
Grew up playing this and the sequel. One of a kind. What was particularly funny is how, as a kid, I liked doing all the evil stuff. One day, my mom comes up, and she sees all the red "EVIL" text and she asks me what I'm doing. I told her I'm killing people. She told me I shouldn't kill people and walked away disappointed. Never forgot that moment in my upbringing, and it's this game I have to thank.

It is one of my first computer Games I have ever played. My older siblings and me had always so much fun with this game. All God-Sims after were not so iconic for us. I miss it and regulary listen to the sailors song from the first level on youtube.

Just love clever strategies with indirect control mechanics. Tried to get back couple years ago but could not make it work. Also never played sequel, would be great to play it too one day. There's proper page for this game, just search for "Black & White".
