Tropico rocks

The original Tropico is well worth playing.

It is set in a cheerful location, the music won some awards, and the game has a great sense of humor.

This is usually not an intense adrenalin-pumping game, but it is a serious sim and there's plenty that can go right and wrong. I have the Mucho Macho edition and enjoy getting to choose my character's abilities.

And Melissa likes it too!
