SIM Isle                               Missions In The Rainforest

OK, so you're the king of the forest - make that rainforest. Now what are you going to do? You'd better decide fast because there are miners, poachers, petrochemical companies, endangered speices, tourists, polluters, ecologists, natural disasters and even UFO's, all vying for your attention - and for your resources. With teams of agents at your command, you'll embark on missions to determine the fate of a series of island rainforests. You'll control the balance between ecology and economy. You'll decide who survives and who goes extinct. And when all is said and done, you'll be king of the rainforest - or of a wasteland.

• Explore, protect or develop a series of rainforest islands, ranging in condition from pristine to gutted.
• Take on challenging missions on over 20 different islands.
• You'll have teams of agents - each with individual talents and skills - at your disposal.
• As you explore the rainforest, your discoveries are recorded in your notebook - a valuable information resource.
• You'll face hundreds of life and death decisions.
• Video clips and photographs will show you real rainforest plants and animals.
• Free form mode lets you set your own agenda for building or exploring.
• Sound effects recorded in rainforests will make you feel like you're realy there - wild animal sounds so realistic, you'll shiver.
• Exotic musical soundtrack puts you in the mood.

SimIsle is a fun and challenging tropical island simulation. You must manage the difficult balance between economic success and ecological harmony. For instance, cutting too many trees to make building materials (wood) and you risk forest fires. Add the neat RPG-style personnel management, and the game is quite addictive in the long haul, despite a steep learning curve that may prove too daunting to beginners, and some cumbersome interface designs. Two thumbs up!
