GAME NOTES

The time is yesterday and the Cold War is in  full  swing.
Through means devious and dubious you have seizeda  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
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!
