This game is fun and addictive. But its performance leaves much to be desired. I have a PowerBook G4 667MHz, 768MB of RAM, with a Radeon 7500 32MB VRAM video card, and this game slows to a crawl when the population of the islands goes above 150 individuals.
Its performance is just ridiculous. My computer’s specs are way above the system supplies listed on the game’s box, yet I can barely play the game most of the time! I have tried everything to boost the software’s performance. I’ve turned off all of the fancy graphics features (I’ve even turned off show of trees and vegetation, ground textures, etc.). Just to see if the game would run any quicker, I’ve even reinstalled OS 9 (I am running Panther right now) to run the it. Under OS 9, it does go a small better, but not much. The game would run well for a bit, then it would freeze for a couple of minutes to do calculations before I can get on with the game again.
This is unfortunate, because I really like the game play, but its performance is just not acceptable.

I was hesitant when buying this game because the graphics looked splendid, and I was not sure if my pc could handle them. Although my computer is pretty ancient, Tropico runs quickly and efficiently. I have never run out of new scenarios, and find something new every time I play this game. I would certainly reccomend this product, particularly at this low cost!

Macsoft’s port of PopTop’s fabulous “Tropico: Mucho Macho Edition” is more game than you could presume for such a low price. At under twenty dollars you get the original Tropico, plus the expansion pack Paradise Island.
Tropico puts you in charge of a Caribbean island circa 1950. Your job is to run your fledgling island nation – how you choose to do so is up to. Will you rule with an authoritative hand and build a strong army and police force to squelch those Tropicans who dare speak against you? Will you discharge their every need or leave them wishing (or raging) for churches, schools, jobs, homes and entertainment?
The game is abundant with details, from the buildings to the people. In one simple click you can find out individual statistics on any Tropican, including age, family, job, home, likes, dislikes, education, and whether they will be voting for you in the next election.
You can play a free form game or choose one of the many scenarios included with the game. The scenarios, ranging from simple to ridiculously hard (and they mean it), will help to enlarge your horizons and push your limits, which will in turn enrich your free form game experience as your explore new goals.

I am a huge fan of computer sports meeting – I don’t sit and play them all day, every day like a snob, but I do delight in all sorts of sports meeting – 1st person shooters and approach sports meeting mostly. After getting slightly bored of “Age of Empires 2,” also a splendid game, I chose to check out Tropico. I was most certainly NOT disappointed.
Everything about this game – the box, the music, the main menu, and, of course, the island – is perfectly designed and appealing just to look at. Often, once I’ve got my island up and running, I’ll let it be for a few minutes, to get some cash flowing in, and while I’m waiting I just look around town. It is so detailed and so realistic: rusty shutters on the tenements, ancient wooden planks on the dock, lush vegetation, harvested crops stacked up near the farms, and even the freighters and yachts and airplanes that arrive at the dock and airport.
The gameplay, too, is quite detailed (without the pain of micromanaging everything imaginable). You can choose to run the island in a variety of ways. If you’re in a excellent mood, your island can be a pleased place where workers get excellent wages, healthcare & education are readily available, there aren’t too many soldiers prowling around the streets, and tourists come in and bring with them riches for your people. You could choose to keep the tourists out and have a purely manufacturing-based economy, with copious farms and factories and other blue collar jobs. Or, if you’re in a terrible mood, you could be cruel and oppressive with many guard stations, full jails, low wages, and no fun. This could get some other countries mad at you, or armies of rebels, but who cares! “El Presidente” will do as he pleases!
But you choose to play, Tropico will grant hours – even days – of entertainment. The diverse gameplay and gorgeous design have had me hooked for months. If you’re wary of the hefty price tag for the ‘Mucho Macho Edition,’ the original Tropico is much less and is still tons of fun. But I would recommend this game even if they charged more for it than they do now. Buy it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
And despite what other reviewers have said, Tropico is hardly similar to The Sims. It’s also much more fun.

I prefer this type of game, as it’s impossible to get stuck. I get frustrated with sports meeting where it becomes impossible to progress, either because of a glitch, or because some obstacle is basically impossible to pass, even with walkthroughs. This doesn’t happen with Sims.
Tropico runs fine on my iBook G3 800 MHz with 640 MB, running Panther. I haven’t had to adjust performance or anything.
The game sets you up as President of a small Carribean island, and you have to choose what to build, what to pay your workers, how much to embezzle, within a tight budget. There is a lot of difficulty – more than in the Sims, for instance, and I am still exploring all the possible options, after a month of playing with the game. I haven’t got into building TV stations, or imprisoning my enemies, for example, as I haven’t had to fine tune to that extent.
Tropico is simple to learn, and there are three tutorial sports meeting included, which allow you to learn how some of the key parts of the game work. After that, you can either just run the sim as you want, or you can follow one of the 30 or so predefined challenges, where you have to build an airport, or embezzle a certain amount of cash, or generate a particular level of tourist revenue, within a given time frame. These challenges are quite hard, and require you to use all of the functions in the game.
I find it simple to get hooked on a game in the evening, and it’s very hard to place the computer aside until I’ve run owing to a scenario. The excellent thing about Tropico is that there are varying levels, so relative novices can run owing to a game with no problems, but that doesn’t mean you get bored, as there are plenty of features to explore at more challenging levels. Certainly a keeper!
