Back in the days it was a fun casual gaming experience that felt very entertaining, not unlike Lemmings or Combat Chess. I think it has multi player capability, but is fun to play single as well. Being a late 1890ies/early 1990ies DOS game it comes with sound and VGA graphics. Like Worms, this game is all about the amusement—fitting that you have to place Tetris tiles to build and repair your castle walls. It may not be challenging to play, but it is so much fun, and harder to advance than one might think... IMHO it also aged well, it is very nice to play still on a modern PC with DOSBox.

Black & White 2

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
