Its a pretty fun expirence to live through the original games. You can get Tropico 1 tourism DLC Tropico 2- Pirate Cove. On steam for like 6.99. I plan to do a lets play soon.
Are you sure? I thought it was just there was less scope for jokes with the technology. I mean, you can't take a game seriously when Lou Bega is a playable character. I never tried Tropico 2, maybe that was less serious, what with being a pirate island and all. Then again, it was more serious - not even the 'elected as fascist' trait included a joke.
