Zoo Tycoon

            Info taken from www.zoo-tycoon.co.uk

Take a walk on the wild side and build and manage your own Zoo!

Adopting the animals, monitoring guest satisfaction and making
sure all the animals are happy is just the tip of the iceberg.

You'll be constructing your own zoo from the ground up, so it's up
to you to take charge of the situation and make it the most fun
and beautiful zoo you can imagine.

Remember creature comforts as you place unpredictable and untamed
animals around your park, they could get upset if they don't like
the food, environment or handling. Unhappy animals will make
guests unhappy too, especially the elephants who'll never forget
the experience!

Learn to love the animals that you have "adopted."

So, no monkey business; keep everyone happy and you'll become the
ultimate Zoo Tycoon.

With an intuitive design and interactive tutorial, Zoo Tycoon is
easy to learn...

With over 200 different types of exhibits, building materials and
animals - including giraffes, elephants, bears, giant pandas and
White Siberian Tigers - Zoo Tycoon delivers all the content and
excitement needed to really get into building, managing and
maintaining a zoo. The possibilities are limitless.

With two ways to play, you can jump straight in and build a zoo
from scratch, or hone your Zoo Tycoon skills on more than a dozen
different scenarios that start off easy and become more and more
challenging.

Realistic zoo action means that your animals roam, rest and play
while visitors explore the grounds, snap pictures, buy snacks and
browse the gift shop. Build wisely, if you pick the wrong fence or
don't maintain your exhibits - you may find animals on the loose
in your zoo.

Create the ultimate zoo and reap big profits if you manage it
well. Learn what it takes to make your animals and guests happy so
you can be a top Zoo Tycoon.

A diverse array of shops and stands are available so you can
personalise your zoo and give it that extra boost in
profitability.  Erect anything from a simple drinks machine to an
Animal Theatre or Japanese Garden.

"With over 40 animals in Zoo Tycoon, aspiring zookeepers will have
parks rivalling the great San Diego Zoo right on their hard
drives."

"Yep, animals can escape. If you build your cages inadequately,
such as placing trees near fences, monkeys have no problems
getting into other enclosures, or perhaps out into the park
itself."
Gamesmania Gamestock

"The endearing and immensely playable zoo simulator, Zoo Tycoon,
should delight a wide audience..."
