Tropico Reloaded on Impulse!

Published on July 24, 2009 By Island Dog In PC Gaming

I was very excited when I found out about this. I used to play the original Tropico when it first came out, and just had a blast playing it. I don’t have the CD’s anymore, and they are a bit difficult to find, so seeing them on Impulse was great.

Tropico Reloaded includes Tropico, Tropico: Paradise Island, and Tropico 2: Pirate Cove.

Now is a great time to grab this, as Tropico 3 is in development, so what a better time than now to catch up on the series.

In europe we buy the game in USD getting converted to local currency. I can buy most games on Impulse for 40-50$ US. So clearely not in the euro zone? Compared to steam or GamersGate where €=$ so a games there cost like 40-50€ = some 60-70$

US price converted to Australian based on an arbitary exchange rate (not sure how often it is updated...)

Well, the USD price for tropico is $14.95. And if the AUD price was only based on exchange rate, you wouldn't have the mention of

The * tells me price set by publisher.

which means that there is a regional price. And 26.04 AUD as regional price doesn't look correct.

Well the lack of response by a SD rep is sad.

Any official word on the in's and out's of what is going on?

The pricing is correct as set by the publsher.

Are you meaning that the publisher set an australian price of 26.04 AUD? It looks very strange. Generally, few cents are substracted from a round price, not added

They've opted to use the Euro price as the base for areas without regional pricing, rather than the US price (likely due in part to the weak exchange rate). It looks odd because the display only shows local/USD since we charge in USD, but it is correct.

Well, since the publisher, Kalypso media, is an european company, it makes sense that they decide that the base price is in EUR instead of USD. So in that case, the price for north america is a regional price

Last time I played Tropico 2 it hard locked and permenantly froze a bunch of pixels on my LCD. I've been too cowardly to try that again.

There is no way in hell a game can be held responsible for your LCD screwing up.

Well....How does this explain why i can buy this on Steam for the USD price of $14.95? Seems like there is still some explaning to do.

But in the meantime SD, you can thank Kalypso for losing a sale to Steam. I prefer to purchase on Impulse, but when i can save ~10 bucks i will surely do so.....

Shame though.
