Title: Zoo Tycoon
Review: Okay, it's not Rollercoaster Tycoon, but what is? An intriguing premise, easy to play, but hard to master, due in no small part to some poor programming of the actions of the zookeepers (who are responsible for the feeding of, cleaning up behind, and tending to the health of, your animals) and the maintenance workers (who are *supposed* to empty trashcans, mend fences, etc.). Your zookeepers, for the most part, tell you what your animals need, although they aren't as reliable as a zoo-owner would hope. And your maintenance workers don't always seem to notice the completely collapsed fences that will allow your elephants to trample your guests...But the variety of animals, complete with their necessary terrains, vegetation, and shelters, makes this game fun, it a bit frustrating, to play. Recommended, with caveats.
