Product Description
You, the newly installed dictator of an obscure Caribbean island, must create a life of prosperity and happiness for your people. Build farms to feed them, tenements to house them, pubs to lift their spirits, and churches to save their souls. Follow a socialist path of factories, mines, logging and fishing, or chase capitalist dollars by building resorts to lure Yanqui tourists. Success will bring the praise of your people along with a fat Swiss bank account. Failure? Well, there's always martia

 Great fun for future dictators March 5, 2007
I've always like RTS and simulation games so when I heard about this game, I got it to try it out and was not disappointed. I like everything about it from the Soca/Calypso background music to the fact the each person on the island has their own personality and thoughts. I've had this game since it first came out and it just never gets old. Great practice since I plan on running my own small nation someday.

I absolutely love this computer game, it is sooo addictive!! It's fun and intriguing without being too violent and stuff. On tropico, you are the ruler and your job is to build building, industries, etc., provide for the nedd of your people and try to kepp the citizens as well as other countries happy. If not, you're outta there!! it's really good and I recommend anyone over 12 to buy it, very kewl
Tropical Tropico February 6, 2005

This is a great tropical island simulation game which has many options and keeps you discovering all it does for a while. Govern an island while worrying about foreign relations and your people's happiness. Rebel groups will form and launch attacks on specified areas of your empire if you are not well liked, and you will see an end to your regime if nations such as the U.S. and Russia are not pleased. They will, however, give you foreign aid if you are able to maintain relations with them. This is one of the top strategy games out there and should be on the shelf of any simulation/role-playing/strategy gamer.
Can't believe I'm still playing this game... December 12, 2004

Granted, my machine is pretty old and can't handle much more complicated than Tropico. But I still play this game at least once a week. It is that interesting and addictive! The music is wonderful, the graphics are not spectacular but are bright and easy to see on my old monitor, and the gameplay is varied and very open. I like the variety of scenarios as well. If you have an older computer and need a game, get this one!
 Not for children August 12, 2004

This is a great game, but it's too complex for kids under 13. I got original Tropico when I was about 11, and I was pretty confused. After many tedious hours of playing this game I figured out enough to not get kicked out of office or be invaded by the U.S. after a few years, allowing me to experience the more fun aspects of the game. This game is similar to sim city because you need to keep your people healthy, enducated, safe, and employed(and happy). It also adds new challenges like keeping good relations with the United States and Russia, political factions, and winning elections (or rigging them). What I'm trying to say is; if you like city sims and you understand politics, get this game.
