Product Description

Take the reigns of a banana republic, and shape your island nation in practically any way you like. Whether you've always wanted to create an utopian paradise or a ruthless dictatorship, prepare yourself to go anywhere your imagination leads in this updated collection of games from the highly acclaimed Tropico series. Combine the classic gameplay of an empire builder with a healthy dose of Latin American political intrigue and bundle it up in an easy-to-learn, hard to master, utterly addictive package and welcome to TROPICO – where YOU RULE! As the newly installed dictator of an obscure Caribbean island, you will need to build a path of progress for a nation mired in poverty, civil unrest, and infighting. Oh, and uhh … you’ll also need to stash a few million in your Swiss bank account just in case you need to take early retirement. Next, deal with the disastrous effects of tropical weather in the form of hurricanes and tropical storms, hoof-and-mouth disease, and red tide in TROPICO – PARADISE ISLAND. Such disasters can translate into both economic and human losses. Fragile buildings crumble, crops are lost and morale decreases. As the illustrious leader El Presidente, restore the island’s beauty and the people’s faith in you! Then journey to TROPICO 2 – PIRATE COVE as you thieve, plunder and raid your way to a life of riches on a hidden Caribbean island as you encounter some of history’s most infamous sea dogs (Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, and Black Bart to a name a few) Rule peacefully or with an iron fist, the choice is entirely yours in this unique and award-winning `Sim` anthology as you guide your island paradise through over 60 challenging scenarios in all!

This game is great for killing time. After playing for a few weeks, it can get old, but after a short break, it is fun again.

This review is from: Tropico Reloaded (DVD-ROM)

I've been playing Tropico consistently for years, it's a great game, different from most city builders and strategy games. I'll put it away for six months and then get that itch again and play for awhile. Tropico 2 is fun too adding in the whole RPG aspect of building up your pirates and ships and sending them off on missions, but I like the original better. Recently I misplaced my some of my old cd's so I found this pack online for [...] and I jumped on it. I can't think of a better deal, you get Tropico and all the updates and Tropico 2 for nothing. Anyway, if you don't know or haven't heard of these games they are classics that have stood the test of time for me, and I recommend them to any strategy/builder fan.

I can't wait for Tropico 3 to come out next month!

I love this game so much. I have only played the original one, but I assume the others are fun too. I just don't want to complicate things since the first one is fine with me. Lots of fun, and not too difficult.
