You are looking at computer game Sim Isle. In Sim Isle you lead teams of agents on missions to determine the fate of a series of island rain-forests. You have to think fast because there are miners, poachers, petrochemical companies, endangered species, tourists, polluters, ecologists, natural disasters and even UFOs--all vying for your attention and your resources. Before a new game can begin, the game requires that the player choose one of several dozen fictional tropical islands of various shapes and sizes to simulate. Each island is unique in that it has varying amounts of open plains, forests, mountains, natural resources, and native peoples. The amount of pre-developed land also varies but most of the islands are largely nondeveloped when a new simulation begins. Although each scenario has certain objectives and win/lose conditions, the scenario objectives are always optional and the simulation can continue in free form even after successfully completing the initial task. Each island map has its own initial situation or quagmire that the player can deal with however one sees fit. Of particular note is the scenario where the island's natives have begun growing narcotics and a foreign drug cartel begins operations there as a result. The player can choose to ignore the situation, take a cut of profits or send an agent to shut the operation down. If the player makes an agreement with the drug cartel, one receives a portion of funds deposited in their treasury but receive an unfavourable world opinion. Includes on disk manual Released in 1996 by Maxis. Might require an emulator such as DOSbox to run on newer computers - but I will provide assistance on getting this set up if required :) **Excellent condition** Comes with just the disc.. (N4135)2
