Computer and video game publisher Gathering of Developers, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., along with developer BreakAway Games, today announced that the expansion pack for "Tropico" has gone gold. "Tropico: Paradise Island" is an expansion pack for the best-selling simulation, and is set to ship February 5, 2002.

"Tropico" is an island building simulation based on a remote Caribbean paradise. As an all-powerful dictator, the player must create a life of prosperity and happiness for the island residents while secretly lining his own Swiss bank account. The "Tropico: Paradise Island" expansion pack offers players new twists and turns, making this best-selling game even better.

"Players will have new ways to dictate their island country's diplomatic, developmental, and political fate," said Phil Steinmeyer, president of PopTop Software. "The 'Paradise Island' expansion pack features new scenarios, people, vehicles and buildings to increase the power of El Presidente and further intensify his lust for power."

With the expansion pack, the disastrous effects of tropical weather force players to contend with hurricanes, tropical storms, hoof and mouth disease and red tide. These disasters translate into both economic and human losses. Fragile buildings crumble, including homes, docks and bunkhouses. Crops are lost and morale decreases. As El Presidente, the player must restore the island's beauty and the people's faith in him.
