Given that Lionhead is pretty much nonexistent... probably no.

Someone else could make a similar game I think was the idea. I doubt anyone expects Lionhead to suddenly show up again

You need to install some 3rd-party software in order to get it to run on modern machines.

This isn't the specific guide I used in getting it to run on my Windows 10 laptop, but it should contain the same basic information:

there is one, its called Reus. its in 2D on a planetoid, you use 4 gods to raise the land and help to balance the resources. but its not as much as being a single god that manages everything for its followers. and well, humans can rebel against them. but it tries to get on the soles of god simulation.

It's... not at all similar imo. I have it and I've played it, it plays more like a puzzle game than a god game.

It works! The game is working fine. That articles helped a lot. And now I can show my friends just how awesome this game was... minus the various game-breaking bugs, of course. Thanks!

Huh, I wonder if they'll ever reboot/remake this game with VR support. The original had something, but it required a peripheral that didn't really have a lot of support.
Yeah, using room-scale VR to stride about your land seems like it would be absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, probably better for some indie folks to make a whole new game than to try to hack Black and White into this.

I heard that one of the demos for Black and White featured one guy wearing a baseball glove with a wire running up it while someone used a mouse hidden in the background... which sums up Molyneux pretty well.
