The Black & White series was developed by Lionhead Studios. Train your creature. Watch it grow. Watch it develop a neurosis.

Save a drowning person, watch your creature eat them.

Save a starving person, watch your creature set them on fire.

Save an injured person, watch your creature defecate on them.

Developed by Maxis, The Sims is a simulator of everyday life. The brainchild of Will Wright, this game allows you to create families of virtual persons and let them run wild. The virtual persons, or Sims, can be controlled directly by the player or allowed to make decisions on their own. Different personality traits determine how each Sim behaves and interacts with their environment. Players can create and furnish environments for their Sims or download user-created content online. Create your little-thug Sim, and let him breed with and bully all the Sims he wants.
