I remember playing this game when i was a kid, it was probably the first 3d game i played, I loved building zoo's and watch the people and animals in them. It was also really fun to explore the zoo's as a character in the game. I still remember the soundtrack, it was so good. PS. The game is available for digital download on Amazon (I think it's drm free, but have not been able to test it) so please bring it to GOG.

I have serious nostalgia for this game. This and the original are some of the first games I ever played when I was young. Haven't been able to play it for the better part of two decades but I would love to again.
I had so many hours of fun with this game ^^ It was indeed fun, managing everything. It was one of the first games that made me love the management games genre. I love it. ^^

Ah, I still have the disks and case for this game, the snafus my old man had to go to send it out and getting it. This is a peak zoo game with animals I dont see in current zoo games, yes it has dinosaurs but Jurassic world evolution is just shiny and nothing more. Plus, it isn't just dinosaurs in a proper zoo game but a number of ice age or recently extinct animals.

Pierwszy raz miałam styczności z tą grą jak byłam dzieckiem, to było jak miałam 11 lat. Od tego czasu gra bardzo wryła mi się w pamięć i wywołuje sentyment, teraz kiedy mam prawie 30 lat na karku i ten sentyment się uaktywnił i chęć zagrania była tak silna że wyszukałam ta grę w czeluściach szafy i przy instalacji okazało się że jeden z dodatków nie działa a mając pełną (prawie) kolekcję bardzo chciałabym przypomnieć sobie ten czar tej niesamowitej gry.

One of my favourite childhood games! I love it, especially the extinct animals dlc. (I remember not going to school one time so I could build mastodon enclousure) It has cool graphic style, many great animals and challenge mode with randomized events happening to your zoo. This game is also highly moddable! There are creators making new animals, scenery objects and whole new ways of building. This game is loved by community and it would be great to bring it to GOG.
One of first 3D game, which I play, it is economy teaching (on crash mode), building teaching game, it is pitty to be forgotten on "gray zone" neither buy, neither download is not legally posible
Esse jogo além de divertido é nostálgico pra caramba, lembro muito de jogar ele nos meus computadores mais fracos e me divertir muito e ainda tenho um carinho querido por esse jogo muito mesmo. eu quero muito esse jogo na gog para poder realizar isso

I remember spending hours and hours and even more hours on this game, both in creative mode and in challenge mode to unlock even more decoration options. I remember how much fun it was to enter zookeeper mode and explore the park and take care of the animals. Unfortunately, I never had access to the expansions, so this would be a great opportunity for GOG, both for those who want to play and for those who would play the expansions for the first time.
Ha the ultimate version of Zoo Tycoon 2 I spent hours playing this game at my grandparents' house unfortunately I only had the expansion that adds the dinosaurs.
Those games also need your vote!

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
