Black and White 2 is SUCH a great game! I didn’t realise you couldn’t get it on any storefront!!
Is it B&W2 or B&W1 where the game whispers your name if you play it at night?
Also its not anywhere because the company that made it doesnt exist any more so technically nobody has the rights to sell it. There’s going to be a lot more legal technicalities than that but that’s basically it.
Yeah, it terrified me too! It was also just one of those things that kind of made it seem like games were magic, in a way? Like, it was so unexpected and it expanded what a game could do in my child mind to such an extent that suddenly they could do almost anything! I miss that.
Ugh, sucks to hear it’s unlisted due to some legal technicalities. That’s a shame.
I wonder how many obstacles there are to running the CD ROM that OP got? (Apart from my obvious one of not having a cd drive!)
I’m a total dullard when it comes to these things but like, if you disconnect your machine from the internet so no outside checks can be made… Wouldn’t it just run as usual?

In the first one at least it would whisper “deaaath” if a follower died and there was no graveyard built. Terrified me hearing that the first time playing at night
