On the other hand, El Presidente can now use colonial forts, army bases, and dungeons to repress the small number of local malcontents who fail to see the glory of the player’s leadership.” “In ‘Tropico,’ gamers control a tropical tourist mecca or rule an evil, repressive dictatorship,” said Bob McNamara, producer for BreakAway Games, Paradise Island’s developer. “Our goal is to provide more ‘fun in the sun’ tourist accommodations and attractions, plus options that include making it easier to play the bad guy.” Welcome to “Paradise Island” As an all-powerful dictator, each player of “Tropico” manipulates resources to create his own thriving Caribbean paradise, while lining his personal Swiss bank account. The “Paradise Island” expansion pack features new scenarios, people, vehicles and buildings to increase the power of El Presidente and intensify his lust for power.
