UPDATE: Something changed, something was patched. It works in windowed mode now. But it only has like 4 resolutions to choose from. Tropico 2 still doesnt. Used to be one of my favorite games and the game itself still holds up. But it simply can't be played anymore. You might be able to start it on 16-Bit graphics on an XP VM but I haven't been able to get it to start on Win10 and put it in windowed mode so I can literally see anything but pixels. Maybe Kalypso could just stop making the same Tropico again and again and instead see that they fix the games they are still selling. And yea I know, it says I've played for 37 hours. That was in fullscreen mode, barely being able to make out anything because it stretches to your display and nowadays we don't usually view anything in 800x600. I tried all the solutions in the discussions, none worked with the latest Win10. Welp. I hope I will be able to play it again someday.

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.

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!
