A request for the game America and it's expansion pack by Data Becker, they have changed company directions and now sell various software tools, and as far as I can tell they have no American web site and do not support the game. I have read mixed reviews of the game, but would like to give it a go. Has kind of a Tropico meets the wild west vibe. This is my first post and hope to review some games down the road, and be of general help to the community, InfoTech is my Soup-De-Jour. Thanks all, I love the site. Keep up the great work! k:

Probably you mean this game , it was released in 2001 and i doubt what this game is abandonware . Btw America it's RTS more like Age Of Empires , than Tropico .

Yes that's the one, my bad on likening it to Tropico, which is more of a empire builder/ management type of game, I believe it to be somewhat abandoned, though one reseller may have it for $80 in the double pack, it and the expansion. A follow up America II was planned, but as I said earlier the company has changed directions, so if anyone nows where I can pick the pack up on the cheap, $80 is way to much considering it's overall low scores, and medicore reception, I would pick it up for under $10 in a quick minute, and would even do what I can to track down the parties needed to try and get them to release it to the community. Thank you for your response virgil. k:

"somewhat abandoned"

$80 does sound expensive - have you tried eBay/Amazon for secondhand copies?
