Balance of the Planet is a simulation video game developed by Chris Crawford. He self-published it in 1990 for Macintosh. It was ported to MS-DOS and PC-98.
Balance of the Planet sees the player balance global economic and ecological forces through taxation and expenditure, with each policy change having a runoff effect to other areas. For instance, clearing forests changes the level of CO2 in the air, which affects global warming. The game has a procedural system with limited user interaction. Crawford notes that it is difficult to "win" level one due to the state the planet is already in.
