Gamers eager to get into the life of a all-knowing island dictator can now rest a little easier. According to a new "tweet" from publisher Kalypso Media, the island government sim game Tropico 3 has now "gone gold". That means the main development of the game has been completed and the disks are being duplicated for shipment to stores.

As we mentioned recently the game was supposed to be released in September and the PC version will still make a September release in Germany. However the US and the rest of the world will have to wait until October 16 to set up their ideal dictatorship. A demo for the game should be released this week.
