Tropico 3 PC Demo Released

A 1.10GB demo of Haemimont Games tropical urban simulator Tropico 3 is now available on FileShack, offering would-be dictators a tutorial and two missions.

The full game hits PC and Xbox 360 on October 16. For mission details, read on.
MISSION 1: Bananas
The abdication of the old Presidente of St. Helena provided the perfect opportunity for your rise to power. Now as the head of state it is your job to lead this small island nation to a new age of prosperity.

St. Helena is a modest island with rich and fertile lands, which have attracted the attention of the American food conglomerate Fruitas LTD. You should make use of the gringos to secure the financial future of the island as well as your own Swiss Bank Account.

MISSION 2: Second Chance
The band of rebels led by your twin managed to drive you out of your own island. Taking the entire treasury, you hitched a ride on an old fishing boat, seeking refuge in your summer residence on the island of El Acantilado.

Chased away from their own homes, your most loyal supporters have followed you. Taking the burden of leadership once again you have promised them a fresh start. Your new island is a poor and dry hunk of rock. Several rich iron ore deposits are its only viable resources...

Ok I went to run this and I get lines going up and down rapidly with black and yellow colors. Almost as if my GPU just died which it hasn't cause I just played Crysis Moments ago. Whats going on?

Well just so no one worries. I just reinstalled the game and it fixed all the weird graphical glitches.
