Since I was a lad of nine, my father and I woudl sit at the family computer and play - not this game - but Civilization 4. I've been playing Civ 4 for a decade and a half by now, and believe me when I say Tropico 4 has it beat! No irrational trading AI, stacks of death, or terror of late-game micromanagement. Just a nice cold-war caribbean island governance simulator. It's fun being a dictator!
