The unyielding battle between good and evil translates into the virtual video game world in Lionhead Studios' Black and White. Previously only in production for the PC, this anticipated god game from Peter Molyneux's UK-based development team is well into its development cycle for Sega's Dreamcast. The game begins in a virgin world, lushly vegetated and sparsely populated. Your goal as god is to create faith among your followers by indirectly manipulating the world and heavens. The hook is that the decisions you make will determine whether your subjects will follow the path of good or evil.

　　This theme of manipulating morality continues down to a special creature that you ultimately adopt. Depending on your choices, you will be saddled with a passive cow, a neutral ape, or a vicious tiger. Through these mammoth creatures you can directly interact with the people of the world. The entire package is a combination of role playing and simulation, as the world and heavens increasingly grow and adapt.

　　Lionhead is looking to take advantage of the Dreamcast's hardware for the conversion, instead of producing a direct PC port. Details of those enhancements however are yet to be released.

　　No release date for the Dreamcast version has been announced yet, but GameSpot will bring you more information on Black and White from the E3 show.
