Oklahoma Resident to Appear in Upcoming Computer Game Tropico 

Local Man Wins Contest to "Rule" His Own Tropical Island

Dallas, TX, April 11, 2001 - Local Claremore, OK resident John Grant will be featured as a character in the upcoming computer game Tropico. Tropico is a 3D building, strategy/simulation game that gives virtual dictators the chance to oversee all resources necessary to develop a remote Caribbean island -- from money, labor, and time, to food minerals and crops. Mr. Grant entered and won the "You Rule" contest sponsored by game developer PopTop Software and high-end computer and videogame publisher GodGames. He will appear in the game as the dictator character Pálido Jaguar. Tropico will ship to stores nationwide on April 24th.

In Tropico, players take on the role of a newly instated dictator of a remote Caribbean island and are challenged to build a path of progress for a nation mired in poverty, civil unrest and infighting. Based on their economic vision, gamers build hotels, mines, factories, and over 80 other structures. Diplomacy and politics will factor heavily in Tropico, as players must pacify various internal factions and external threats. If the island's growth is well planned, the player will have plenty of money to buy the peoples? favor and ensure prosperity. If growth is poorly planned and the economy falters, the population may revolt, forcing the player to institute martial law.
