wasnt there two versions though with different names?
IIRC, a few years later there was a Windoze-native game under name of Skullcaps, practically identical to Baldies. Is that what you mean?

And... 1997? I remember having a demo of it in 1995 or 1996 quite clearly.

Follow the instructions below the review and it should work in Windows XP:

<!--QuoteBegin-review

NOTES FOR INSTALATION: after extracting the files, run the "setup.exe" file; It is advisable to answer "no" when it asks if you wish to install DirectX, because it is an old version of it. That installation will create a "baldies.bal" file, where it is stored the path of the game. If you ever change the game to another folder, don’t forget to edit this file and place the right path. You need to leave the original extracted files at their location after the installation, or the game won't work! [/quote]

i ´m going to the 10 level in green land :Brain:

Sweet :) Not as good as Settlers, but highly enjoyable anyway. Especially if you like bald little people ;)

It's very fun, but it's also very frustrating to kill the opponent since those baldies reproduce really fast and the computer's also really fast at rebuilding houses as necessary.

YES! i played the demo a long time ago.

it's a funny game.
