NEW YORK, Apr 10, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) today announced that Tropico 2: Pirate Cove for the PC has shipped.

The sequel to the award-winning fun-in-the-sun Caribbean simulation Tropico, Pirate Cove allows players to rule a secret pirate island. As an all-powerful Pirate King, players must manage a seventeenth century band of buccaneers and keep them satisfied with drinking, wenching, gambling, feasting, and the best in pirate accommodations.

"We look forward to another success with Tropico 2: Pirate Cove," said Kelly Sumner, president of Gathering. "When Tropico first hit store shelves in 2001, it became a runaway bestseller. Tropico fans loved the deep game play and sense of humor, and with Frog City's pirate theme, we are able to carry on the Tropico tradition."
