Apparently there's a sequel to this game called Skull Caps, but I can't find a download of it anywhere! I hope MyAbandonware makes it available on their site.

Hi all,

here is how to run DOS ver. in DOSBox. I use DOSBox on Android phone so don't ask me how to mount game on a computer. Please refer to DOSBox help/website for more info.
1. unzip game
2. go to game folder and sub-folder called GAME (example: ..\Baldies\GAME\ )
3. open file BALDIES.BAL with any text or hex editor and change whatever is there to C: and save file (this file contain path to folder BALS that was on a CD, e.g. E: but is on your hard drive now, e.g. C:\Baldies)
4. mount game in DOSBox using game folder as drive C:
5. start game using file BALDIES.BAT

BTW, after you start game and create player(s) new file PLAYERS.BAL and GLIx.BAL are created in GAME folder. File PLAYERS.BAL contain name of each player (12 bits) and file name with their game progress (e.g. GLI1, GLI2, etc.).

To access other levels in game you can edit GLIx.BAL file for your player profile. Use any hex editor to edit this file. If you didn't finish any level yet, then first bit in this file is 28 (hex) and every 46 bits 0a (hex) can be found. Here is what it means.
28 - selected level (yellow dot in game)
0a - level not available (red dot in game)
1e - finished/available level (green dot in game)

At the moment I din't check how to access bonus levels.

Have fun, Amy

I used to have a PS1 copy of this game, Played it on the PS2.

Seriously loved this game, I emulated it on PS1 emulator then came to the realisation that this was a port of an original PC game, hahah I can imagine it being so much easier with mouse than a digital 8 directional Dpad!

such a classic game.

used to play it in childhood 2021-02-27 0 point Windows version

I had a CD with about 100 games (including Hocus Pocus) and it had jazzy music on the menu (I think the entertainer and one other)

Have anyone else had this game CD collection?

Hi, I had this game in its original run and would like to point some inaccuracies: first of all, there is an option to efficiently move your bald followers by giving them wings temporarily and pointing them toward a specific place. This does cost resources though and as far as I remember requires development of your buildings (but I am not sure on that detail).

As for attacking structures or enemy units, your people will always wander randomly, but the soldiers (brown uniforms) will actually attack on their own, when they find an enemy or happend to stumble upon a building entrance. With enough military resource they will also shoot enemies from a distance and throw some grenades before entering a buliding.

Still, one of the biggest appeals of the game is the inherent stupidity of the little folks and the wicked and often unusual traps you can make then fall onto. Pressurised gas tanks that make people literally blow up? Rain of stones (actually mostly used to stunt building upgrades)? Skunks thrown into buildings to force everyone out (preferably toward a gigantic mine blowing up the whole structure)? I still have no idea, if the rain of fishes had any useful function.
