The success of games such as SimCity, The Sims and Civilization, simply proves that people want to rule and have power over others. This is the reason why wars are fought; and this is also the reason that some computer games are designed. Pop Top’s newest offering, Tropico comes to mind when one thinks of power and control. Indeed what could be better than being the dictator of your very own island in the Caribbean?
As the newly installed dictator of an obscure Caribbean island, you must somehow overcome the terrible poverty in your island, and in case things go bad, maybe you should stash a few million in a Swiss bank account should you need to take an early retirement.
