Games based on Caribbean city-building have been created before, but Tropico was the first to be centered around Cuban Revolution and Cold War themes. The game sees the player taking the role of "El Presidente," the ruler of an island in the Caribbean during the Cold War era from the 1950s onward.


Tropico is a construction and management simulation computer game developed by PopTop Software and published by Gathering of Developers in April 2001.
