my favorite is the music from the intro you only see once before the actual game starts th-cam.com/video/o4_T1vHsGQU/w-d-xo.html (video is different, but music is the same)
This intro still gives me the chill after all these years, this game is one of a kind and unique, would love to play a remastered, remake or a spiritual successor to this game. I have yet to play black and white 2 as i never finished the first game.
but ... "Black & White" is owned by EA. It's more of a niche title, so they would cut cost and then (best case) flood you with DLCs like this is Sims 4. Better pray some indy dev picks up the idea.
Childhood memories full of fun with throwing away people over the mountain tops and letting the pet eat humans lol, seriously they need to make a B&W 3 !
Man, I miss this game. I was almost always an evil god with the red hand and temple, but somehow I always managed to have a sparkling rainbow good cat who would take care of my villagers. It was really awesome, because he would take care of making sure all my villages had food and wood ( and breeders ) while I shot fireballs at all the unbelievers. :3
Sometimes my Creature would in a bind, he was usually the Tiger. But nah, they typically got sacrificed if they got too lazy. xD Now I really want to try and get the game to play it again.
My favorite game! One of a kind! It has its own genre! I non stop recommend it to people.... but they're like... "uuhh... its from 2001... this will be shit".... Yeaaah, play the new CODS, dude, or Fortnite no worries! :D
You're right. There are just SO many amazing games out there, I always feel like seeing the popularity of fortnite is just a bit disappointing. I have played both COD and fortnite but they're just in different worlds compared to this game. This game has loads of depth and requires good patience. We need a well thought out 3rd game haha
ya, the music in B&W1 is great in general :) i use the fighting-music in my video intros if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/mcrxC4tRpQE/w-d-xo.html
The idea of the game is simply awesome. The soundtrack and the feeling were just stunning. I remember back then when I played it. I was 12 years old and oh my, that first impression of that game was incredible. I'm still playing it today and it's so much fun! :D This is one of the best games I played and I played a lot. I still hope they'll make such a awesome game again.
Yes, every reality can be made true, metaphorically so at least, this universe will realize everyone's dreams. But that also means, that you wouldn't be able to influence other people's dreams with your own, unless they let you do so, or unless you want to give them what they sowed for, in fact giving them what they want. Everyone chooses for themselves. A god, would never exist solely by praying, but the supposed actions that this god would bring, could be made true, making you, afterall, the god you're praying for. It's possible to praise for human extinction like abrahamic religions do and make it come true. However, only if those humans are willing to be extinct, and if they are, then they deserve to be extinct, by even simple natural selection. Everything comes together, always
the intro-without-music-bug can be fixed by copying the audio folder from the CD to the program files folder :) my favorite melody from black and white is this one, if you wanna check it out th-cam.com/video/o4_T1vHsGQU/w-d-xo.html the video is different, but the music is from the intro you only hear once after installing B&W
@@HaykoKoryun i agree 100%! i love that melody. i also like the melody that B&W plays when you start a creature fight, i use that in my intro: th-cam.com/video/HliodYC-jYc/w-d-xo.html
who else literally only just realised that, that bit at the start is a sperm and egg analogy? because I can't watch this the same way anymore because of that realization.
Miss games like this. People have mentioned the idea of a VR version, that'd be awesome to hover over as god and use lightning/fireballs, do the old hand motions to summon spells etc
I have Windows XP Professional and I tried this game. It worked fine for the first scene until everything became pixelated and very glitchy, and letters appeared as green squares. I tried going on Properties and Compatibility and did Run this program in compatibility for WIndows 95 and 2000, but now when I try to play it, it doesn't even work, and goes back to the desktop. Can anyone help me please?
@xdwere1 On Land Four? There are two totems behind the village. You must get your Creature to lift one totem at the same time as you lift the other. It will not work if your Creature lifts his totem later, or before, you lift yours. They must both be raised to their full height at once. Lift one totem and hold it up until your Creature lifts the second to the same height. Make sure your Creature knows how to use the Village Totem before doing this. Doing this will get you where the Creed is.
@necrosny there was a online for black and white, but the turned it down when black and white 2 came out. there is still a way using a programm called phoenix or something like that.
its firebal . it's a miracle with which you can trow a bal of fire at something( your enemie) it will set everything that is flammable on fire when it passes close.
black and white 2 came out, its fun aswell although there is no skrimish mode or multiplayer, it features you awakening from a long slumber to protect your people from the during the time most powerful empire.
I absolutely loved this game when I was a kid! Best Peter Molyneux game ever! Though I must say I never was able to beat the last island. I was a pretty flawed God(des) XD
i agree! being assigned one race and battling the others felt a bit weird.. in B&W1 you were the protector/curse for everyone :) also in B&W1 i felt like i had more of a connection to the villagers and the creature
I feel like this game is an accurate commentary of God, because you start off trying to be good and benevolent but after a few hours you start chucking people and letting your pet eat people. Great old testament simulator.
The treatment of this masterpiece is one of the greatest crimes in the history of gaming. No sequel, no remake, no remaster, literally unable to even buy it. It's just sad.
For BnW1 you need 1.1, 1.2 patches and perhaps the 1.41 fan patch too. For BnW2 there are patches that you need to install, including a fan patch, that you also should install. Don't install BnW1 in Program Files (BnW2 is fine). BnW1 from bawsite.com
this intro is so much better that the one of the second game (that is a poor version of this intro). The way the camera goes up when the boy is in the watter and the song begins with that incomum sound, and then we go to space where we hear the eco of the family asking for help and the god rises and comes to that world. Nice. The second game worsened the intro, even the music, putting a strange beat above, a montage almost amateurish (but the secong game is good).
is it possible to find only the voice? no music just the voice of the "god" person? and the first one is better then the second one. As Andreus said the only thing you do is building cities or raising armies
We call to the heavens
For a new Black and White game
Deep into that darkness, long I stood there;
Wondering...
Fearing...
Doubting...
I guess, we need more wood.)))))
Please, hear us, someone develop this...
@@mattiascarson1386 somebody hear us! Develop new Black & White game!
I agree
I was obsessed with this intro as a kid. Now I'm into psychedelics 😅
same lmao
Huh..... same
For like so many years, I'll just randomly mention this game to people, and I've never had one person understand what I'm talking about.
Especially now. Even then this game wasn't widely known but I think it's a unique game with a lot of charm.
this is a really wonderful game with a lot of fun stuff to do, and having a pet add a lot of content to a basic rts game @@sammicopor
It was one of the best at the time :)
Its sad man suuuch a great great game
I've forgotten the number of times I used to restart new games just to see that intro
my favorite is the music from the intro you only see once before the actual game starts th-cam.com/video/o4_T1vHsGQU/w-d-xo.html (video is different, but music is the same)
This intro still gives me the chill after all these years, this game is one of a kind and unique, would love to play a remastered, remake or a spiritual successor to this game. I have yet to play black and white 2 as i never finished the first game.
Fata Deum came out with a demo today, its a spiritual successor that looks like they took B&W2 and just ran with it. =P
That kid better pray for Black and White 3 !
but ... "Black & White" is owned by EA. It's more of a niche title, so they would cut cost and then (best case) flood you with DLCs like this is Sims 4.
Better pray some indy dev picks up the idea.
New good game like b&w: Fata Deum
Ok we waited enough now.
Our only hope is Microsoft buying EA and develop a new game. They are keeping alive fable still.
Childhood memories full of fun with throwing away people over the mountain tops and letting the pet eat humans lol, seriously they need to make a B&W 3 !
I loved this game so much, and the intro of being born and coming to save the civilization. It's epic.
One of the best games ever, really. And I'm still playing it!
it was super hard to stop my pet from eating villagers
The music and visuals during the space scene are still so dreamy.
2019 and still for me is the one of the best intro ever time!!! Super game!!!
Still good decades later.
Man, I miss this game. I was almost always an evil god with the red hand and temple, but somehow I always managed to have a sparkling rainbow good cat who would take care of my villagers. It was really awesome, because he would take care of making sure all my villages had food and wood ( and breeders ) while I shot fireballs at all the unbelievers. :3
that's true balance right there xD i'd just train my creature to eat extra villagers that were just laying around.
Sometimes my Creature would in a bind, he was usually the Tiger. But nah, they typically got sacrificed if they got too lazy. xD Now I really want to try and get the game to play it again.

Every now and then i just come by and watch this like a song i lile to listen to.
Goosebumps. Epic intro
one of the best intro ever
Goosebumps. Many fond memories here. I sorely miss it.
14 years , I'm almost 40...
me too, I remember being over emotionally attached to my pet from the game haha
@@nomooon same! i also like to give my creature little creature friends xD
This intro is a mind blowing!!
ya, the music in B&W1 is great in general :) i use the fighting-music in my video intros

The music slaps hard. A VR remake would drip hard Peter bro.

BEST GAME EVER!
thats gotta be the best game intro EVER
still one of the best game intros ever
This and Resident Evil: Nemesis are my top 2.
"When people pray, a god is always born"
"Able to change eternity" Gives me chills
Are you a blessing? Or a curse? Good? Or evil? Be what you will, you are destiny.

No, I didn't.
Plot twist: it's the other way around; sperm and egg is an analogy for God entering Creation and seeding life.
Still playing it on 06/05/2013!
Genius Game and Intro. Thx
gets me all teary eyed. epic intro ever
Dealers Of God sampled this beat in the track 'I've Smoked Something Terrifying'
I remember i was like 6-7 years old and my cousin was installing this game on my first pc. I never played it, but remembered this scene... Nostalgia..
Miss games like this. People have mentioned the idea of a VR version, that'd be awesome to hover over as god and use lightning/fireballs, do the old hand motions to summon spells etc
This is my childhood! :-)
one of the best intros ever, its up there with mgs2.
the music is fantastic in B&W1 in general!
I have Windows XP Professional and I tried this game. It worked fine for the first scene until everything became pixelated and very glitchy, and letters appeared as green squares.

"That God is you" always got to me.
I miss it bros.
I loved the intro, especially the rescue.
This was and is still so cool. 👍 For the throwback.
Memories… I need to play it!
Anyone still watching 2022?
still playing it
Wow.... Younger me, I'm still playing it, we should find another game at some point !

This game was so ahead of its time.
Such a great game! Wish there'd be another like it.
Best game ever, and the best game I've ever played.I liked the expansion - creature Isle,too.Wtb a new version of it.
best god damn intro everrr
I keep playing it just for this ... and for my lovely tiger
They need to put this on the iPad. It will sell bucket loads. Its perfect for it.
my first game
@necrosny there was a online for black and white, but the turned it down when black and white 2 came out. there is still a way using a programm called phoenix or something like that.
Sounds are just amazing!
I just need a stable release on Steam.
th-cam.com/video/myrBe1Vdvns/w-d-xo.html Credits music to the EDEN Universe, the upcoming God game by Haxo Game Studios.
this game has so much potential rebranded for VR.
what if the sharks were just hungry and praying to their God for help that caused the boy to run into the ocean?
its firebal . it's a miracle with which you can trow a bal of fire at something( your enemie) it will set everything that is flammable on fire when it passes close.
black and white 2 came out, its fun aswell although there is no skrimish mode or multiplayer, it features you awakening from a long slumber to protect your people from the during the time most powerful empire.
...I must try to get my parents to find this game for my birthday next month.
It's simply mind blowing!!
This game is a masterpiece.
So bad ass OMG!
hi has anyone made a video on releasing your creatures when you have to capture the three villages need help on it
I absolutely loved this game when I was a kid! Best Peter Molyneux game ever! Though I must say I never was able to beat the last island. I was a pretty flawed God(des) XD
One of the best intros to any game, sets the mood perfectly. Shame about the brutal unskippable tutorial each time you play though 😒
Who is the voice actor?❤
@Madavascus There is black and white 2, but first one has MUCH better feeling :)
i agree! being assigned one race and battling the others felt a bit weird.. in B&W1 you were the protector/curse for everyone :)
also in B&W1 i felt like i had more of a connection to the villagers and the creature
The music sounded like an Egyptian song at 1:14.
It's Indian Hindu music.
No one ever talks about this game anymore.
i'll be playing in 201`3 once it gets over here!
song name?
I feel like this game is an accurate commentary of God, because you start off trying to be good and benevolent but after a few hours you start chucking people and letting your pet eat people. Great old testament simulator.
anyone know the name of the song?
was that the guildmaster talking?
"When people pray, a god is always born." - chilling
Does anyone know the name of this song? It’s simply magnificent

Windows XP and Black & White came out almost at the same time. How the hell wouldn´t it support XP?
Keyp away frum the WoTah!

@mdaabil I think I've been quite lucky that I've played the polish version - the dubbing is even better than the original : O
