OT: Zoo Tycoon...
Justin Adams
might be playing this game. I know it's evil Microsoft, but this game
is actually really addicting! It's not RCT, but it's a great way to
spend some time when RCT gets boring or you get tired of it. I
actually just have the first ZT, I am planning on purchasing the new
expansion double-pack, Marine Park Mania I think it's called. It
comes with Dino Digs, which is the Jurassic Park-like pack, where you
can raise Dinosaurs. Marine Park looks awesome, being able to build
Seaworld-style dolphin or whale exhibits sounds killer, no pun
intended.
Anyone else own this game and what do you think of it? I'd recommend
it to anyone looking for a great game. It's awesome. =)

> if you starve the animals will they eat the handlers?
Haven't tried that, but if you remove some of the fence from the exhibits,
the animals escape and chase the visitors. It's pretty funny watching a
lion maul and toss some poor guy around.

I've not played it, or even seen it, but I am curious...
Are there any scenarios built around real-world zoos (like the way
you can get Blackpool on some version of RCT)? Does the program
provide enough flexibility to do so on one's own? It'd be really
neat to see a virtual version of, say, the San Diego Zoo or the
SD Wild Animal Park.

You can build in the freeform portion of the game, which offers a good
variety of terrains, from snowy mountains to regular flat grassland.
You can do pretty much whatever you want. It's awesome.
BTW, I just picked up the Marine Mania/Dino Digs expansion this
evening, and it's awesome. Being able to control the tricks your
aquatic animals do in their shows is just too cool. Plus being able
to have Dinos in a zoo makes it feel a lot like JP. =)

monorails, train, skyrides, the Bronx Zoo has trams a monorail and a skyride,
so I figured its possible. Or is Bronx Zoo an exception and most zoos have none
of that?

The San Diego Zoo has both trams and a skyride, and even two moving
sidewalks. SD Wild Animal Park has a monorail.

The St. Louis zoo has a wonderful narrow gauge railroad that makes four
stops throughout the park. The Memphis zoo has a shorter one that just
circles one small area, but they have two carousels.
