    Ein Unternehmen zu leiten, ist eine Herausforderung. Einen ganzen Staat zu führen, eine gigantische Aufgabe, der Sie sich in Tropico, dem neuen Strategiehit der Spieleschmiede PopTop Software, stellen können.

    Die Macher von Railroad Tycoon II, einem der weltweit erfolgreichsten Wirtschaftsstrategiespiele, haben für Tropico ein ausgeklügeltes System mit vielzähligen Optionen und Hunderten unterschiedlicher Charaktere entwickelt, die alle Ihre eigenen sozialen Hintergrund und zum Teil grundverschiedene Ziele haben. Als Diktator sitzen Sie an den Schalthebeln einer turbulenten Bananenrepublik mit machthungrigen Generälen, zwielichtigen Spionen, aufsässigen Arbeitern, unzufriedenen Rentnern und vielen weiteren Akteuren, die Sie bei einem Putsch oder einer Revolution unversehens stürzen könnten...

GOD GAMES Fall 2000 Bonus CD:
    As the newly installed dictator of an obscure Caribbean island, build a path of progress for a nation mired in poverty, civil unrest and infighting. Oh, and uhh... stash a few million in you Swiss bank account just in case you need to take early retirement.

    From best-selling independent game developer PopTop Software, Tropico takes the addictive building-oriented gameplay of hits such as SimCity 3000 and Railroad Tycoon 2, combined with a healthy dose of Latin American political intrigue, and bundles it up in an easy-to-learn, hard to master, utterly addictive package.

Back of Box:
    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 life their spirts 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 martial law.

Inside Flap, Left & Right:
    Features over 45 different characters with up to 50 separate attributes for each. They have different political views, physical desires, home lives and moral attitudes. Even the cows have opinions, so keeping everyone happy is no small coconut.

    BUILD YOUR ISLAND Over 80 different buildings including sports arenas, cathedrals, airports, rum distilleries and cabarets. Build a tourist haven with spas, luxury hotels, swimming pools and nightclubs. Just be sure to keep that shanty town from spilling into the tourist-only beaches.

    RULE THE LAND Build your population from a mere 35 to a bustling 500 unique individuals. Each manana brings new births, marriages, and even deaths (natural or otherwise...). Your citizens' lives are interconnected, so take heed who you offend. Throw a rebel in jail and her extended family curses your name. Bribe her and her family may become your ally.

    CREATE YOUR DICTATOR Dictators are people too, so you'll need to pick both good and bad qualities for yourself. If you've ever wanted to rule and entire island as a lying, paranoid, compulsive gambler, here's your chance.

    AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR PEOPLE, OR THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU Tend to your people as they deal with devastating disasters including droughts, popular rebellions, military coups and U.S. sponsored invasions. Feel their pain- compassion makes great propaganda.
