I'm too young to have played his games, but looking at the wiki page for Balance of Power, it looks very similar to Plague Inc.. You have a world map and you react to events. Plague Inc. is so super popular even my kid nephew plays it on his iPad and can talk at length on it for hours.
Personally, I played a lot of XCOM which is a similar world map UI with random alien invading events you react to.
So anyway, writing the books might have been a waste, but people seem to copy the game format quite a bit. Very influential. Probably should have written more games instead of the two books.
