It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
Something really cool happens in Birthdays if you manage to keep a plesiosaurus around once you've made humans. :D

end of the 4.5 tatami age

while trying to find out if people liked tropico 1 or 2 more

quote:

Lou Bega, who is a pop musician commonly known at the time for the song "Mambo No. 5," is also available as a dictator persona. He was included as part of a licensing deal that also saw one of Bega's songs integrated into the German release of Tropico.[4]

quote:

Germany is our biggest foreign market - we may end up selling more copies there than in the U.S. If you've played Tropico, you may have noticed that we included the pop singer Lou Bega ("Mambo Number 5") in the game as a possible dictator choice. While Lou may be a one hit wonder in most of the world, he's a mega-star in Germany, and the German office could hardly contain their excitement when they signed a cross-promotional deal with Lou's manager. Lou Bega gets to be a dictator in Tropico, and has one of his new singles included in the German version of the game, and a flyer for Tropico will appear with Lou Bega's next record. We kept Lou the dictator in the U.S. release, but axed the song (it was a disco song stylistically out of place in the U.S.)

I really liked Tropico 2 but it is drastically different from the others. The music for both games is fantastic.

Wily Castle from Megaman 2 is one of the best megaman themes, but MMX1 has an insanely good overall soundtrack!

I had a really loud, awkward laugh watching The Sopranos when they had a party and the song was the menu music from Tropico..

That's amazing! Tropico 2 remains one of my favorite soundtracks of all time and it's a shame it's been a bit looked over. It's just such incredibly happy chill music. I remember when I got Tropico 2 and I was holed up in my room playing it while my roommate was hanging out with a date of his in the apartment. I left my room to get a drink or something and they are both like 'whatever you are playing has some awesome music'.

Three of my favorite Tropico 2 tracks:

It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!
I confused myself...




To elaborate further, the Japanese names were corruptions instead of being on the nose. So instead of Flame Mammoth, it would be something like the Japanese equivalent of Flammoth (not the actual one but you get the idea). Boomer Kuwanger went unchanged from Japan to English because...I don't know.

Tangledeep, a goon-made roguelike that was kickstarted finally releases into EA on Steam. I love it a lot!

Grimoire, a game made by a literal crazy man. (Something something neanderthals are superior)

Shadowhand, solitaire rpg by the Regency Solitaire folks.

And most importantly it'll be my birthday we get closer to Cook Serve Delicious 2 releasing in August!

I have that and that Yakuza 1 remake. I'm playing 0 and kind of waiting for things to really get going; still haven't unlocked the real estate aspect of the game yet.

They changed the maverick names for the US release of MMX1 (for example, Chill Penguin's name was originally "Icy Penguigo") but didn't change that one for whatever reason. Probably because they didn't know what the actual animal name was either.
