Me too! I remember calling these types of zoos ''natural reserves''. I would just put prey and predator animals, some water bowls and herbivore food and see the circle of life do its thing. Sometimes I would follow a certain animal from birth till death and made stories for them. One of these ''zoos'' ended up with 300+ animals and would automatically crash my game when I opened it XD

Pretty cool to see someone who never played the game before! Some notes if you are to play again.. And Easter Eggs and Trivia too! For staff gates you can place multiple gates per exhibit anywhere you want for ease of access. You are not limited to 1! When riding a tour vehicle you can press your number keys on your keyboard to switch what seat you're in if you want to get a different view. I don't know if you noticed or not but many animals have variants to have different colours and patterns! And some are coded to be more rare than others! Such as the White Tiger and King Cheetah for example! You can assign Keepers to specific exhibits if you want to by clicking on the clip board tab when you click on a keeper. Trainers are for training your marine show animals which are distinguished by the star in the MM icon when you adopt! You need to assign trainers to specific animals to do it though. The map which you can open up can teleport you anywhere on the map if you want to get around quickly! The fastest way to scroll though is to move your mouse to the edges of the screen. A hidden feature when terrain editing is that if you hold down Shift when painting or using the sculpting tools you bypass the fence barrier allowing you to make fences hilly or have paint bleed outside the fence! Now for Easter Eggs! 1. If you have a painting easel inside a Stokesosaurus exhibit occasionally the Stokesosaurus will use it and when it does it will put on glasses! 2. All animals have the ability to attack guests when unleashed and have unique animations for almost every species! Though only the Rex and Carnotaurus can straight up kill guests. And just like the original game only male guests can be attacked. 3. If you fail at the cloning mini game in the Extinct Research Lab you have a small chance of getting a Killer Penguin Egg! This is a reference to ZT1 and you can only get 1 egg from the lab! The Killer Penguin is also the only fully hidden animal in the game and cannot be unlocked for adoption! 4. A second hidden animal (also in extinct Animals) is the Quagga! The only way to obtain the Quagga without unlocking it is to find it's fossils and clone it at level 2 (Star rating 1 1/2 after finding all previous level's fossils). To unlock the Quagga for adoption permanently you have to release 1 of each extinct animal into the wild! They can also cross breed with the Zebra! Masai and Reticulated Giraffes can also cross breed! 5. Sometimes a Cave Man will spawn inside a Glacier when you place it! After some time the Glacier will melt freeing the Cave Man who will have a club and roam around your zoo as a normal guest! If by chance a Guest talks to the Cave Man the guest will then to to a Extinct Gift Cart or Gift Shop and buy a Cave Man club themselves! 6. The Moose Variant, Killer Penguin, Black Leopard, and the T. Rex/Carno guest attack are all references to the original game! 7. Sometimes when guests use the family restroom they will accidentally go into the wrong entrance and run out screaming! Causing other nearby guests to laugh at them. 8. Camels will sometimes spit on guests! 9. The agave cactus will bloom a flower after a few in game years! (Wiki says 50 years but I've had it happen in only 2.) 10. When you buy the Whale Shark or Deinosuchus they are not full grown! After 2 in game years they will grow to their full sizes! They are the only 2 animals in the game with 3 life stages! 11. Sugar Shock & Caffeine Craze: Suger Shock is enabled by having 5 or more Cotton Candy carts in your zoo! Young Guests who buy cotton candy will then zip around faster than normal! Caffeine Craze is similar but for Adults and is enabled by having 5 or more coffee stands in your zoo! Additionally having a coffee stand next to a Staff Building will activate Caffeine Craze for your staff! 12. If you spin the globe fast enough you will hear screaming people and even one yelling "We're all gonna die!" 13. When Guests buy a Lion, African Wild Dog, Komodo Dragon, or Giraffe Puppet from the Gift Cart/Shop after viewing said animals they will occasionally talk to the puppet if their Amusement Need is low! And that's all the easter eggs I can think of at this moment 😉There's likely a few more I've forgotten. Random Trivia! Their are 2 cut easter eggs! One is for Guests to use the Animal Easel (They would've painted the box art for the base game) and the other is for kids to kick balls! Both are incomplete and non-functional in the full game. It is unknown why these 2 easter eggs were cut from the game. The Asiatic Black Bear is the only animal in the game to have been abandoned by the devs! The animal was only able to be downloaded after completing the mobile game which would've given you a code to download the animal. However after Endangered Species the Bear was abandoned, leaving it buggy and unable to be obtained normally. It is the only animal not in Ultimate Collection! However a few years ago I took it upon myself to update the bear for the game and release it. You can find where to get it on the ZT2 Download Wiki if you're curious 😉

The best part about Zoo Tycoon 2 is that it was moddable. My early KZitem days as a child were spent watching Zoo Tycoon horror machinima. There were mods for headless, bloody human corpses, one that gave the gorillas glowing red eyes and bloody hands, and mods to make the human models alien. The videos would be subtitled and follow the first-person perspective of the hero being witness to all kinds of terrible, gory things. The Things from Oslane Swamp is a good example of this. I would genuinely be scared by them!

I actually just started up this game again a week or two ago! Not sure if you ever knew but there was an attempt by a mod team to redo Zoo Tycoon 2 with remade realistic animals/plants etc. called Radical Remake. It started in 2009 but only to this day about 65% of it is complete. It was rife with delays, team member drama (the lion wasn't allowed to be touched by anyone except the mod team member whose name was "Simba" and even when he ghosted for 6-7 years did one of the last solo team member touch it), and the constant migration of ZT2 sites didn't help (you could legit do a whole history of the site to site changes and drama involved). It is definitely a visual upgrade for the stuff that got done but is buggy. A Modder called LGFCM did a patch which helped a lot with the bugs, and she is making a remake for Extinct Animals. Funny enough this single person is nearly done with one expansion pack after one whole year.

Wow! That's a really interesting story I had no idea about! I've heard of similar projects like it in other games but not in ZT2! That's such a bummer they never got any further with it! I've seen a lot of projects in different games fail for similar reasons. The sad part about a lot of these group passion projects is feelings and drama can get in the way of the project vision because there's no sense of structure when it started...It's kind of like a group of people who love the game try to work together to make something happen but they find out they don't work well together even though they love the same game. That's tragic it never saw the light of day! I hope LGFCM finishes the extinct animal one! I would love to see stuff like that for this game! Thanks for sharing that awesome story!

Yeah. I play both games. And i hoped the same, to get something like Zoo Tycoon 3. But if you see it like that, you will be disappointed. I buy Planet Zoo, but i didn't play it for 2 years after i played it again differently (And than it makes fun). Planet Zoo give you a lot of possibilities, but no restrictions or real goals. If you only want to make the animals and guest happy, you don't get happy by yourself. So it more about building a good looking Zoo instead of playing one. Building is really great, but than it becomes far more complicated, so you can watch 100 of videos. Its designe your Zoo, not play a Zoo. Also the DLC policy is really expensive. So only buy in sale. Also the basegame includes only mostly african animals and really standard animals are inside DLC-Packs (like Pinguins, Icebear). In the End, when you look for something what looks great, than Planet Zoo is good. But Zoo Tycoon 2 has, even when it is old and only building is limited, a lot of good points who is not catched by newer games. Missions are more creativ (Challangegamemode is better), More Diverse Animals. You can take care of the animals by yourself. Better Guest-AI.

I wish that this game got a remake, a straight up remake and I would pay a good amount for that game :) I know that planet zoo exists but I'm missing the key features of being able to care for the animals myself, training them and having more challenges and achievements.

They really should remake it! Or at least remaster it! If they updated the graphics, doubled the map sizes, and gave a way to get around the screen faster, it would probably beat most games out today!

I’ve switched over to Planet Zoo. It took me a couple of years to learn how to play it but I’ve gotten to where I can easily plan a zoo now just by watching content creators to get ideas. But I can see why people prefer that game now over Zoo Tycoon 2. The map is bigger. It’s much more realistic.

@@Tytar Yes, I would recommend Planet Zoo and unlike Zoo Tycoon 2, Planet Zoo has over 11 expansion packs/DLCs with a few more expected in 2023. They recently launched a Twilight DLC with a free exhibit update for 1.11 which is getting people excited because they introduced the flight mechanic with the Egyptian Fruit Bat. It is hinting towards birds and there are a lot of bird fans in the Planet Zoo community.

i'm really glad you asked that question, are these old games better or is it just nostalgia? i would say there is definitely something about them that makes them better. just a quality of uniqueness, passion and purpose behind why the game is being made. many of these old franchises have some story or "eureka moment" behind why they exist. such as Will Wright's house burning down in real life, which made him think more about his possessions and what they meant to him, eventually leading to the idea of The Sims. not to say that there aren't games being made nowadays out of passion, or from an exciting new idea brought to life. or, to say that games back then weren't made with profit in mind. i get that game studios back then wanted to make money too!! back then, companies understood that the best way to make money was for their executives to LISTEN to their developers and beta testers, to make sure the product was good. like, a good and FUN game was one that would sell copies and make money!! they understood this lol! nowadays, companies are happy to "trick" players with fancy graphics and gimmicks, cut down on actual content and fun, then try to make up for it later with DLC, "in game stores" and lootboxes. i'm so glad there are a few companies left, like Larian Studios, whose motto is still that the game must be GOOD, and the money is secondary (because they have the confidence a good game will be able to fund their company). they even stopped working on a DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 because they realized their hearts just weren't in it and they were going through the motions...when is the last time any of us have heard of a company doing that? so i definitely recommend that game, as well as a citybuilder game i've had my eye on that goes into early access in less than a week (April 26) it's called Manor Lords and is developed completely by just one guy, Greg Styczen. there are still good games being made, but the profit motives and executive's idea of what should be prioritized, has warped everything so much, that if you told them "video games are supposed to be fun" they would probably laugh. it's weird to think about. but i'm grateful for the spirit of passion that still comes through on a lot of games being made today. mostly indie games. ok wow i didn't mean to write an essay here, it just happened :)
@Tytar
5 ай бұрын
ALLI!! I love essay comments! 😅 I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way when it comes to older games. Nostalgia does impact some things when replaying games, yes, but these older games really did provide something newer ones just lack. I love where you said they have a story or a "eureka moment" I honestly had no clue about Will Wright's house burning down in real life. That's crazy. You taught me something new! That fire accidentally impacted so many lives! Back in the old days, game companies would focus on making a fun game first, and then the profits will follow. New games for the most part are designed with profits at the forefront and the fun is secondary. This is why so many games today feel like they lack heart. The great irony is: if these greedy publishers were actually smart, they'd focus on making a good game first because it would get them more money in the end! I've heard a lot of good things about baldur's gate 3. Haven't tried it yet though. Manor Lords huh? It sounds like something I'd honestly play in my free time!! Thank you for your recommendation, I want to take a look at it! I also have another theory to why old games are fun and new ones aren't. My theory has been that due to technological limitations, game developers had to get creative to beat their competition. Games at the time were very limited and would fail if they weren't impressive, so it was easy to be unimpressive and clunky to play. The great games though exploited what they were good at (in a good way) and pushed the boundaries to surpass the graphical limitations and tech limitations. Look at today, we have all the bells and whistles one could need to make a high-graphics feature rich game. But there's no reason to push past this now. The only reason is for the passion, but now that profits are the focus, passion is gone, and developers and publishers think high graphics and feature-rich content are all you need for a great game, but this is not the case.

Because the game is abandoned, doing it this way is deemed 'ok'. If it was available for purchase, I'd say go and purchase it. Once you download the file safely from a source you deem trustworthy, you can open the file, it should be a .iso file. If you have Windows 10, it should open up the contents of the .iso file, you'll find all the Zoo Tycoon files inside.
