For me, this is one of the greatest games of the late nineties. It's got beautiful 3D underwater graphics and an inventive alternate-world atmosphere with these thumbelinae on the bottom of the ocean (well, likely more a tide pool), foraging for cigarette buds and bottle caps. The open world feels rather large for the time and the prospecting and trading reminds me of earlier titles like WC: Privateer. The controls feel suitably floaty and have this technicality to it, with your propellers being able to tilt up or down and all those gadgets you can buy and mount on your sub. The soundtrack really nails this ambiance-feel that games like DKC or SM64 have in their underwater stages. I'd be so stoked if this game came back in a readily playable state that doesn't require you to hack in some Voodoo-wrapper only to play with weird timing issues. In an alternate history where this game is a success, we could have gotten Sub Culture: Dangerous or something like it (and I still won't give up hope completely cough Nightdive cough), but I'd settle for a convenient way to play the first one. 5/5 starfish.
Loved it from the first time I saw it as a teenager, back in the days. The gameplay was astonishing, and the idea of being a small little, yet technologicaly advanced, being with personal submarine gave youur imagination a mind blow. A true masterpiece back from the days
I played this when I was very young and have a fond memory of it despite all the problems I had back in the day to play it because was too complicated for my young self. Hope I can buy it a version compatible with modern systems to give it another chance.
This game remains my white whale when it comes to old video games I want to see re-released. I'd probably would buy it even in it's unmodified form. Surely some game developer out there remembers this game fondly enough to try and buy the rights to and re-release?
One of my first games, and an amazing experience as a child - having to use the lights when daytime switched to nighttime (and when diving to darker depths, collecting "waste" (resources), trading, and all at a miniature scale! Also, the CGI cutscenes and renderings when entering harbors put you neatly into the game world, and the music in this game - very fitting for exploration in this underwater setting, and I still listen to it sometimes to relax :)
I really hope this little gem of a game can be brought back, despite being very niche - maybe even with the somewhat-spiritual successor "Deep Fighter" some day?
I love this game, the sense of exploration under the sea was amazing, also zapping fishes with your miniature submarine is always funny. This game came with an issue of Billiken compu in my country, that was a PC and gaming magazine for kids at the time.
One of My best PC games. Great story and beautiful design (good vibes when I played that game). The music is great too.
Please GOG, add that gems. I'll buy!!!!

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.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
