Black & White 2001

Is it still worth playing?

A 2001 god game for Windows, with a Mac OS version in 2002, in which you rule several islands of tribes as a god and aim to defeat Nemesis, another god who wants the world. You act through an animated hand on screen, which throws people and objects and casts miracles. A creature acts as your avatar, carrying out instructions and changing its personality and behavior in response. Everything you do is judged. Nearly every action decides whether followers see a good god, an evil one or something between, and the land, interface and music change with it. Along the way, gold scrolls start significant events and silver ones minor tasks. A world that changes with the kind of god you are still makes every act a choice today.
