(for immediate release)

A group of individuals releases Tropico.org, the first independent website about the upcoming PopTop game.

Paris, France, April 06, 2000 - Tropico.org also called Tropico unofficial website is released. Tropico is a computer game developed by PopTop Software. It is a 3D building, strategy/simulation game for the PC and Macintosh computers and Sega Dreamcast. "Tropico takes the addictive building gameplay style of PopTop's hugely successful Railroad Tycoon II and adds a hearty helping of Latin American political intrigue to create an absorbing gaming experience. Gathering of Developers will publish Tropico in late 2000 for the PC and Macintosh computers and in early 2001 for Sega Dreamcast" said PopTop in their Press Release.

Tropico.org website was created in order to provide the gaming community a place to share their ideas and comments about the game and find some very valuable resources such as news, maps, tips, cheats, strategies, links and much more. Tropico.org also offers the opportunity to subscribe to a monthly newsletter in order to get the latest information about the game.

With the help of the gaming community actors, Tropico.org intentions are to become the leading place on the Internet for all Tropico gamers. Former members of the WAW Group will create a new company which will become our main partner in the first part of our development. They will provide us the technology and the investments required to create a universal platform for most strategy/simulation games.

Based in Paris, France, Tropico.org was created by a website developer and an Internet consultant, Gregoire Balasko-Orelio in 2000. The Tropico.org website can be found at http://www.tropico.org. If you have any question concerning Tropico.org, please e-mail at gregoire@tropico.org.
