Colors are for NERDS!
Yeah, I said it, time to appreciate the games that reject color and embrace the black and white monochromatic supremacy! And with games in black and white, I mean ONLY black and white, games like Downwell that include other colors, even if it's only a little, do not count... except grey. Grey is fair game.

Later Alligator is a good one!
@moschidae While the backgrounds are in black and white, the characters are fully colored, so it sadly doesn't count. Good thinking tho, it's always good to be reminded of that game, it's soooo good!
@MPK92 Oh my, I LOVE how this looks! I'll add It right now, as It seems to be fully un black and white.

Misericorde : Volume One, Critters For Sale, 4-Lung Boy, The Citizen Kane of Videogames and (surprised no one has said this yet) Pong
Oh oops, in my memory the whole thing is black and white >_> sorry!
@LordDarias I don't know how I forgot about Pong, it's literally the quintessential black and white game. I'll add it right now, alongside the other games you mentioned, all great submissions (also reminded me that I have to try Misericorde)! Thank you!
@moschidae Don't worry! I get the mix up honestly, tho I'll say that I really like that the game is not fully black and white, it makes the characters pop out even more and it's great. What an awesome little game.

Are you looking for games that are just b&w or like modern games that challenge themselves to only use b&w? There’s lots of old games that I can name that are b&w (lunar lander, space invaders, asteroids, etc) as they didnt have many other options but don’t know if they would count! Nonetheless, fun list idea!
@Dalaamclouds I kinda prefer including modern games that take that stylistic choice since, as you said, many games where in black and white 'cause they couldn't have anu more. But, since I included Pong, I'll add the ones that you mentioned, since they are incredibly well-known games and they do deserve at least a mention!
And thank you so much! I really like games in this style and I'm glad to have so many entries already.

could put every playdate game on here
@appreciations I had no idea what a Playdate was and it's so fucking cool! I will add one game as representative for the entire library since all of them are back and white, but this is so fascinating and I had no idea it existed.
@DemonAndGames They're pretty neat! I want to get it but I am going to wait until they possibly make a backlit one.
I haven't played this yet, but does Horror Vacui fit?
@MobileSpider By the looks of it, it absolutely counts! I'll add it right now!
