Product Description
The time is yesterday and the Cold War is in full swing. Through means devious and dubious you have seized power in the Caribbean island country of Tropico, where you now rule as the all-powerful "El Presidente". You decide whether you want to use your army to secure your power base in the best traditions of corrupt, unscrupulous tyrants everywhere or lead your people to prosperity in your role as generous elder statesman. No matter whether you turn Tropico into a vacation paradise, a police state or a modern industrial nation - you will always have to defend your actions before your people! Wander through Tropico as El Presidente in order to intimidate political opponents, hold populist speeches or just to enjoy your country's own Caribbean flair. Don't forget to keep a sharp eye on the dangers and side-effects of your absolute power! Danger lurks on every corner, be it militant revolutionaries bent on installing a communist junta, or the machinations of the superpowers USA and the Soviet Union, both of whom would like to see a more amenable ruler in strategically important Tropico! History takes its course with events such as the Cuba crisis, papal visits and other actual decisive historical events. The only question is whether or not you can play a role in that history!Product Details

Customer Reviews
El Presidente is back wearing Gold!
This game does not deserve a 1
star for a rating! It is a fabulous and fun game!
I won't review
the full game, as it's been reviewed before, and this is the gold
edition. Instead, I will be reviewing the product being sold as the gold
edition, keeping it short and simple so you know what you're getting.
The
Good:
*No DRM! The game comes with a serial that you put in when
you first install the game. It does not use internet activation. It
does not have limited installs. All that it requires is the serial
number put in after you first time you start the game. Play the game on
all your computers without worry! Thank you!
*It comes with the
original Tropico 3 and it's expansion, Absolute Power. They are both on 1
DVD, which makes it a whole lot easier to install and back-up.
*It
comes with a full fleshed out manual! I'm disapointed in todays games, a
lot never seem to come with manuals. This game comes with a full
printed manual that you can read and learn about the game. Lets face it,
manuals rock!
*The game comes fully patched with the latest patch.
The
Bad:
To be honest, after playing for over 30 hours, I have yet
to find anything bad about the game. It is one of the funnest city sim
building type games I have ever played. I am finding it very addciting! I
missed out on Tropico 1 and 2, and now I'm sorry I did! Tropico is
truly a great city sim building game, with it's own unique humor on you
being El Presidente.
If you want more information on Tropico
3, read some of the reviews for Tropico 3 here on Amazon. All that I can
say, is that The Tropico 3 Gold Edition is a great deal and a great
buy!
Tropico 3 Doesn't Work Properly
I received this game as a
gift last week, and it hasn't worked properly. Most of the people in the
game are pink "F" boxes and there are few details in scenery (textures,
objects, trees, etc.). I have the required system specs, and it just
doesn't work.
Kalypso support has been contacted 3 times, and to
date (about 4 days after most recent contact) I have not received a
reply. In short, very poor (or non-existent) customer support.
These
are major flaws in the game, and people should be forewarned that their
experience may not be what they expect.
Purchase with caution.
Note:
Tropico 3 looks like it'll be a wonderful game, once it works!
