Is Tropico 3 worth it? I heard it was essentially Tropico but with better graphics.

It is. There are a few more bells and whistles, but yeah, essentially so.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I can confirm that all three of the "proper" X-COM games are working on Windows 7, thanks to the preconfigured DOSBox that each is run with.

X-Com 3 performs kinda poorly though in RT mode...is that the case for you as well? Unavoidable side effect of dosbox I suppose...Edward Yee wrote:I can confirm that all three of the "proper" X-COM games are working on Windows 7, thanks to the preconfigured DOSBox that each is run with.

Re: This weekend's Steam deals
I've run Apocalypse in both turn-based and realtime in the DOSBox environment and it's wonky in either. The problem is that Apocalypse was released in that wonky DOS/Windows 95 transition period when software was written for both but didn't really work under either.
