Amazing game, lots of nostalgia. Very good and can be incredibly difficult to find out what issues are causing what, which is the fun part! Go onto forums online. For instance, I was so silly and didn't understand I needed sugar crop for my rum industry (I suppose?)! Best of luck! You can have hours go by and not even know.

This is an old game, but I've always enjoyed it. I'm writing this review because of some of the comments with regard to Tropico 2. In general this one has more problems than the original one. On Windows 11 I am only able to get the game to actually load by using the batch file for the Tropico 2 Safe mode. If your having problems getting this particular game to work, and you have tried updating the compatibility mode and that didn't work, try utilizing that batch file and you should at least be able to get into a game.

A great start to the series! I had only played Tropico 4 and 5 before playing this, but I was impressed at how much was in the first entry. The only complaints I have is that clouds block large chunks of your view even when you aren't zoomed out that much, there are sometimes delays when rotating the camera, your population and overall happiness aren't on the main screen like they are in future games which was always nice to be able to see at a glance whenever you wanted, it's hard to see where you're putting things down if there are trees in the way (in future games they became translucent which made it way easier), and the game lets you put down buildings over uncompleted roads, so you gotta be careful about not having your road situation be messed up. But aside from those issues, everything else is great, money comes in easily, the soundtrack is great, even the graphics on some of the buildings are impressive given how old the game is. The later games are better, but this one is definitely still worth playing just to see how the franchise got started if nothing else.

Personally I never really got too much into other Tropicos, but I absolutely love this one. I played for the first time the demo version when I was just a kid, and it really hit me. The playability, the music... The MUSIC!!! It's do damn good... I still listen to it today during work/commute, and it brings that nostalgic feeling... It's really a great strategy game that you can kind of play at your own pace, something that I enjoy a lot. And doing that while listening to a gorgeous soundtrack just makes my day!
