You will need to work around the config even in bes and ddraw to fit the game to your pc. Take a ready on bes configuration.

Recently i did some tests with a ddraw.dll from dgvodoo 2.4 it make the game runs near perfectly the only issue that remais is the giga fast menu that making selecting worlds and lvls impossible, by the way if u only want to go straight in the lvls chain u can visit dgvodoo site and download de the emulator, inside the folder ms u will find a ddraw.dll copy it to the game folder.

Hope it helps,

Thanks good sir, in my case doesn't even need some extra software to fix the speed issue in main menu. Can't believe how well the game runs for windows 10 64 bits, looks like even a native game in this OS. Really appreciate your reference.

I can't load the game from this site in Win10 anymore

Just like the title says, I can't play the game even though it had serious speed problems in stage select menu, at least the game was capable of running properly for being Windows 10, I don't know if it was a Windows patch in 2016-2017 years but the game no longer works in this operative system. Does anybody know some way to make this working again? Please! Would appreciate any information.

P.D: windows 10 64 bits, april 2018

new edit: nevermind just made it working in windows 10 64 bits with some tweaks, works wonderfully.

Ummm... Well, with all this discussed, I can only come to one conclusion:

The main goal of the game is not to annihilate the Hairrys, but rather to make all the game players well-stressed, pulling their hair, hitting their heads against the wall. In short, all game players will literally get baldies...

Who would have thought the developers had such a sadistic mindset...

Thanks to the collaborations of Miss Lulu_Jane Marple and Air-cule Parrot.

Otherwise when you realise 90% of the inventions worth nothing, you end up with:
- build red houses to outpopulate the enemy
- build green houses to bomb the heck out of them. You'll still need a solid population
- prevent enemy houses from expanding. This can only be achieved by building a house right next to them. Only works because the AI never let houses collapse. Costs a lo of resources this strategy.
- if you're ready to work hard to be lazy, try abusing the game with success: drop skunk in the water for piranhas, and feed the enemy to them. This requires some reflexes and likely a restart of the level (every position is fixed, there's no fog of war), but you can spare hours of your life this way
- you need free space not blocked by unmovable objects to start building (later less of an issue with enough population)

And probably that's it. Through 85 levels. Unfortunately no cheat code to advance through levels, the only cheat does not work, neither the "warp population" feature.

I say give it a try, the first two worlds are nice enough,just don't expect to finish the game There's likely no ending anway, jut the generic "you win" screen.
OK. Thanks for the clarification.

Well, I decided to search and found some cheat codes on portals known as IGN, GameFAQs and GameSpot.

It looks like if you hold down the F8 key, you can create more Baldies units.

Now, talking about the review, no wonder the reviewer says the Hairys are “mean”. You can check here.

I think I’ve already passed the stage where the difficulty of the game was challenging. After adult, with all the challenges at work, university, life, etc., what to have more complication when you want to have fun and relax?

And for me, fun should be with cheat, codes, trainers, savegame editors. What is the fun in you staying without knowing what to do or the strategy to be adopted to overcome the obstacles and keep advancing in the game? Trying several times at the same point is monotonous, stressful and waste of time.

Well, that is my humble opinion.

The issue of cant click on building happens when u runs the baldiesorg.exe, this file runs very well except by this annoying bug, if u run de baldies.exe u will can click on building but the game will run too fast and will need a lot of workarounds as i told early.

Hi i got it working using bes a programs to slow down the game, olny de game not the computer and a dll hack

-Bes - http://mion.faireal.net/BES/#download

-ddraw hack http://bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html

You will need to work around the config even in bes and ddraw to fit the game to your pc. Take a ready on bes configuration.

Recently i did some tests with a ddraw.dll from dgvodoo 2.4 it make the game runs near perfectly the only issue that remais is the giga fast menu that making selecting worlds and lvls impossible, by the way if u only want to go straight in the lvls chain u can visit dgvodoo site and download de the emulator, inside the folder ms u will find a ddraw.dll copy it to the game folder.
