I was very excited when I found out about this. I used to play the original Tropico when it first came out, and just had a blast playing it. I don’t have the CD’s anymore, and they are a bit difficult to find, so seeing them on Impulse was great.
Tropico Reloaded includes Tropico, Tropico: Paradise Island, and Tropico 2: Pirate Cove.
Now is a great time to grab this, as Tropico 3 is in development, so what a better time than now to catch up on the series.
I really liked this title back in the day. It was a fun - albeit not so polished, micro sim game. A great game to play while drinking Captain Morgan Private Stock!!!
Last time I played Tropico 2 it hard locked and permenantly froze a bunch of pixels on my LCD. I've been too cowardly to try that again.
Love Tropico. Still have the first and it's expansion on disc, but this deal including 2 and having it on Impulse(I am so sick of digging through discs) = Buy!
I'll just wait for the new one to come out.
yep, Tropico 3 is coming out pretty soon I think. I still play paradise island from time to time. Probably my favorite city builder type game I've ever played. I could never get into Tropico 2 very much...I just could never...EVER make both my pirates, and captives happy lol
Just had this reccomended to me and for the price my mate paid for it i went looking to purchase. Except i get two different prices, and i dont mean my AUD conversions.
My mate, in the US paid $14.95 for game, yet when i fired up Impulse i get $21.30USD ($26.04AUD)
What gives? Here's the screenshots to show.
My mates....
From my Impulse...
USD 21,30 = EUR 14,99. 1 dollar = 1 euro. Apparently Australia has joined the euro zone.
Ohhh...Well that sucks. Ty dman.
Any help, thoughts..or other musing's SD?
As opposed to you having a defective LCD that happened to crap out while you were playing Tropico?
Seriously - do you understand how computers and monitors work???
Sadly, you don't have provided the screenshot giving the detail of the "*" near the price ...
And that matters how?
The * tells me price set by publisher. Still does not explain why, or why i am being given the Euro rate.
Telling me the what is no good without the why.
So that's why the rum's gone!?
Yes, that is really strange. And since an AUD price of 26.04 doesn't make any sense as a price set by a publisher, something must be screwed on the impulse site.
US price converted to Australian based on an arbitary exchange rate (not sure how often it is updated...)
In europe we buy the game in USD getting converted to local currency. I can buy most games on Impulse for 40-50$ US. So clearely not in the euro zone? Compared to steam or GamersGate where €=$ so a games there cost like 40-50€ = some 60-70$
Well, the USD price for tropico is $14.95. And if the AUD price was only based on exchange rate, you wouldn't have the mention of
Well the lack of response by a SD rep is sad.
Any official word on the in's and out's of what is going on?
The pricing is correct as set by the publsher.
Are you meaning that the publisher set an australian price of 26.04 AUD? It looks very strange. Generally, few cents are substracted from a round price, not added
They've opted to use the Euro price as the base for areas without regional pricing, rather than the US price (likely due in part to the weak exchange rate). It looks odd because the display only shows local/USD since we charge in USD, but it is correct.
Well, since the publisher, Kalypso media, is an european company, it makes sense that they decide that the base price is in EUR instead of USD. So in that case, the price for north america is a regional price
There is no way in hell a game can be held responsible for your LCD screwing up.
Well....How does this explain why i can buy this on Steam for the USD price of $14.95? Seems like there is still some explaning to do.
But in the meantime SD, you can thank Kalypso for losing a sale to Steam. I prefer to purchase on Impulse, but when i can save ~10 bucks i will surely do so.....
Shame though.
