Tropico: One of my favorite games. Really unique setting that kept it interesting with a lot of humor. It really makes you think. While I usually prefer "sandbox" mode for most games, and tend to get bored doing "scenarios", I found with this game it was the opposite. I absolutely loved the missions, many of them forced you to get into a different mode. The sandbox mode isnt too hard, and so I could follow a pretty simple formula of building things until I ran out of space. The scenarios had a variety and really made me make use of the games fun political side. One of my favorite games ever. Tropico 2: They tried a new setting, and it was a lot of fun, but I prefer the original a little better. Graphics are somewhat improved, but the interface is about the same, and it felt somewhat less unique and intriguing. Still had a blast playing it. Both of these games worked flawlessly on my XP laptop, no issues whatsoever.
