Lionhead studios: Black and White...

Reading this made me find my copy - must have had a few different PCs since it was last installed! I recall enjoying playing it at first, but I think I got stuck at some point (all the villagers were dead?) and then had a problem with loading a previous save game, so evidently I gave up on it.
 
Back when I was gaming on a ps1 (no pc's for me back then lol) there was a rumour that Black and White was coming to ps1 - this never happened but I was interested in the game, still sounds like a nice concept/game - how have the games aged? Would it be worth picking up 1 or 2 and playing it today without ever playing them before (I know I can go back and play a lot of old games and enjoy them, but I'm pretty sure a lot of that is nostalgia and if my first experience with some of these games were today I'd say I wouldn't get into them at-all)

Graphically they haven't aged well at all, and the main story is pretty basic but they are great games just to mess around with some great side quests and puzzles. I remember the physics being amazing just picking up rocks and throwing them etc. black and white 1 & 2 are pretty different games, but both great and unique.

I also thought the console indie game From Dust was pretty good. Very similar setting and also good fun.
 
Anyone remember from the first one the songs? Oooooo we got this notion that we'd quite like to sail the ocean!
 
I remember that you was the evil god no matter what you did by the time you got to the last level just doing one thing wrong was enough to get you that label

So might be worth a banter at then, cant do any harm (mightned be right away-im back into diabo mode againvlol)
