Balance of Power (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_Power_(video_game))

The game for PC shipped with a MS Windows runtime environment, for an early version of Windows. (2.x?)

It has been done: Balance of Power 21st century http://indiegames.com/2009/03/freeware_game_pick_balance_of....

Found via the wikipedia page of Chris Crawford: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Crawford_(game_designer)


The guy also wrote a book about how the game works, which has some good insights into real geopolitics. Can't find the link, unfortunately, but it was a really good read.
