That was the question that spawned Stealth Bastard, the fast-paced, nail-biting antidote to tippy-toed sneaking simulators that the world had so desperately been craving. Now, building on the ideas sketched out in this unholy marriage of deft, wall-hugging stealthiness and insane break-neck platforming, we’re proud to bring you the bigger, better, shinier Stealth Bastard Deluxe.
Armed with only your wits and a pair of top of the range Stealthing Goggles, it’s your job to sneak your way through a deadly facility that’s determined to extinguish your fragile little life. With no weapons and no armour, being seen means instant death. Stay out of the light to avoid the attention of deadly security robots! Leap like a lusty salmon to avoid those zap-happy lasers! Think fast as the walls close in around you! Only the fastest and sneakiest will make it to the exit without being mangled by the facility’s security systems. Will you be among them?
No requirements to list. |

PS, If you're wondering why I need color, it helps my eyes aha.
Chuse2017-10-14-3 points Windows 3.x version
Hello, I'm requesting assistance. Got windows 3.1 to work, and BoP. However, I have no color in BoP. Am I running the wrong graphic drivers or something for Windows 3.1? I have no knowledge of some of the older OS, hah.

I got the windows version to run in dosbox/windows 3.11. Use Alt+Esc to close dialog boxes.

Esc key is not working. Don't download the windows version folks

Just found this site. I got the original BoP for Christmas in 1985 and played it for months on the original Mac (128k, no HD, etc). What a blast! Hope someone ports it to an online version so we can play it again.

what is social all about?

To everyone who is trying to run the program in windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8, stop trying. You need to run the game in windows 3.1.
To do this, find a copy of win 3.1, install and run it in DOSBox (with BOP in the drive where win 3.1 is installed) and run BOP from within win 3.1. Consult DOSbox on how to install win 3.1 in dosbox.

Hi,
When I tried to install the game, I received an error message saying that it's incompatible with the 64-bit version of Windows. Any remedies? And please note that I am not a PC expert by any length ;-)
Thanks!

One of the advisers looks like Vladimir Putin.Must have gotten a promotion from his KGB days.See for yourself.

I played the original on my double-floppy-drive PC clone (XT class) on a Hercules monochrome screen. BoP was a GREAT game. I highly recommend Chris Crawford's book...it explains the innards and the equations he used.
I'd love to see a web version...anyone working on something like that?
Arthur2013-07-020 point Windows 3.x version
This game is great!
Travis2013-06-19-1 point Windows 3.x version
There should be a revival of games like this. I played BOP as a kid. Great stuff!

This update of Chris Crawford's seminal Balance of Power for Windows 1.0 features up-to-date information, 18 new countries (bringing the total to 80), and 'multipolar level' in which countries can go to war of their own volition (you could, of course, take advantage of the situation by selling them arms or contribute troops).
Perhaps as a response to players' complaint of the steep learning curve of the first version, Chris added the 'Crisis Advisory Board' who would give you advice during the crisis.
Overall, an excellent update of the best cold war simulation ever made, here compiled and patched beautifully to run under Windows 95/98 by our resident cracker Mok. There's no better geopolitical game on the market, even a decade after its release. If you have even a slight interest in politics, this game is a must-have.
Review By HOTUD
Game was wrongly labeled as DOS, but it's a Win 2.0 game. It's playable on recent Windows though, right click on BOP.EXE then click on Properties, go to Compatibility settings and choose Windows 95 in the Compatibility mode after checking the box.
