Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection

Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection (2003)

by Blue Fang Games, Microsoft Game Studios
Genres:Strategy, Simulator
Game modes:Single player
Story:An insidiously addictive simulation game, Zoo Tycoon allows players to create their own zoo, but not just any zoo. It's completely free-form: Start with fences for your exhibits, then pick animals and give them toys, foliage, and anything else you want. For your customers, you can lay down paths to lead them around, then add food stands, amusement rides, even maps and trash cans. Not sure what you need? The zoo advisors will tell you how to make the animals happy, and the customers themselves will tell you what they're looking for, be it snacks, more animals, or anything else. There's also a vast amount of background information on each critter--its diet, its habitat, etc.--which can be useful when you're adding a macrauchenia or a Loch Ness Monster. In all, you can choose over 100 animals, plus countless habitat and park embellishments.Show more

I dream every night of being able to play this game again, but it has been unreachable for decade. This game made me fall in love with video games. It has a special place in the gaming community for those who love park building and animals alike.

Would you like to learn more about animals? This feels like a fan game at first, but it is not. It has several ways that allows to to manage the Zoo and even go down to do everything... I mean, even cleaning up their poop. It is much more fun than it sounds, I assure you! Besides, you will learn a lot about animals and feel like you have a virtual pet game that actually makes sense. You can preserve animals, like GOG preserves games.

Pretty much the best zoo sim on the market. Lovingly made and one of the best "cozy" games this side of Stardew Valley. It is a bloody shame that the game is unavailable legally anywhere. Back in the day, it was the reason I got a GoG account...I needed this game on my PC again.

Lots of time spent creating cages trying to find the perfect match, caring for the animals, always giving them what they want, and just for fun opening up the cages to see what the lions could do. I have a faint memory of playing this game in 2004 (?) while a party was going on, and then there were fireworks and I remember having this strange feeling of loneliness but also having a new-found comfort zone within this game...

My first PC game ever! My parents bought me this bundle at Costco, and I was hooked! The animals looked terrific, and it was as close to building Jurrasic Park as the dinosaur DLC was included. Even after JPOG was released, I still played this game for your zoo's in-depth gameplay and customization.
To me what makes this game so special to me that this game gives you the freedom either to build a proper zoo or unleash chaos. My dad got me this game for my birthday because I happen to love animals, and I fell in love with this game ever since. the amount of variety in both the animals and attractions as well as the fun educational aspect that teaches you about several species of animals without hindering the game. The main reason I want this game on GOG is because it would be nice to play this game on a modern PC and give this game the digital release it deserves.

I was about eight when my dad brought this game home. My sister and I, and just about everyone we knew fell in love with this game. Creating the zoo of your dreams... this was possibly the first title to make that dream a reality.

Me and my brother have a lot a good memories with this game and its fun to build a zoo. I was very excited to have dinosaurs in the expansion. This was a great game and wish it was better known. I regret losing my physical copy, but hopefully this will available in the future on gog and relive those moments again.
My brother and sister would play this along with the sims with me all day. I remember playing once for 24 hours with my cousin when he visited. Our parents arranged a day trip to the museum, and when we returned, we fell asleep for 12 hours waking up the next day. Few games let you show off animals, aquariums, dinosaurs, and a bigfoot. This did.

What I enjoyed most about this game, besides the economic simulation, was the ability to let animals, such as Lions, Dinosaurs, and Monkeys, out of their habitats to maul the visitors. Great times...

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered
Valkyria Chronicles RemasteredValkyria Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. A Microsoft Windows version was released on November 11, 2014. A remastered version for PlayStation 4 was released in Japan on February 10, 2016 with a Western release planned for May 2016. Both PC and PS4 versions include previously released DLC. The game is set in fictional Europa, loosely based on Europe during the early years of World War II. Because of its abundance of Ragnite ore, which takes the place of petroleum in the game setting, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in war with the Atlantic Federation. Players take control of a unit of the Gallian Militia, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which use Sega's CANVAS graphics engine, resemble pencil drawn paintings in motion.
