Pack your bags, have the neighbors collect your mail, and take a working vacation in the rainforests of SimIsle. Build tourist hotels, exploit natural resources and develop industry in a land of beauty and danger. Can you become wealthy and keep native populations, tourists, and industry leaders happy? Or will your actions destroy the delicate balance of a fragile ecosystem? The player chooses one of several dozen fictional tropical islands of various shapes and sizes to simulate. The islands have 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. Each scenario has objectives and win/lose conditions. Each map can be started with the scenario objectives turned on or off, and the simulation can continue in free form after successfully completing the initial task.
