windows game classic release
bought game and installed on win 7 computer runs fine on win 7. I like that once installed no run disc is required anymore. The problem is it doesn't install properly in xp. A configuration error stops it from running (ps original zoo tycoon 2 from Microsoft runs no problem in xp on same computer. I also tried on win 10 computer with the exact specs as win 7 computer and it would not render video on win 10 computer. corrected problem by removing old nvidea drivers (card removed) as game was choosing them over r7 drivers that were installed. I hope they have solution for xp users as there are no real changes you can make while installing this software. If you have win 7 or 10 go ahead and buy but make sure old drivers completely uninstalled through control panel. I purchased Roller coaster tycoon 3 platinum from same site and works all operating systems as promised. I am changing my previous review. I'm a computer nerd but not a total tech so it is beyond my means to repair xp issue on my own. I am posting to save grief for Xp and win 10 users.Read full review

Great Time Passer
This works fine on Windows 10 , Graphics are okay. This game is a challenge , after designing your zoo, you have tasks you will have to do , like take samples from around the zoo to determine what has caused and illness and find a cure. On the original Zoo Tycoon all you did was fund research. Another Difference , you have to read about the animals and try to figure out the habitats and things they like, that part changed quite a bit from the original game however you have greater ability to design outstanding exhibits. I like this version a lot better and the best part is you can change the perspective and walk around the zoo and see it like you are actually there with the ability to look up and down a, open gates . Its a fun game I love it.!!

Not Worth the Time and Effort
For a game released in 2008, the graphics are sorely lacking. There are too many glitches in the game itself - it reports that animals are not contained in their habitats, when upon confirming it, they actually are. This causes a problem because zoo guests will run away from those exhibits, leading to a lack of donations and decrease in guest happiness. The game mechanics, such as placing walls and fences, can get confusing at times. You really have to have a feel for how they respond to placement if you're looking to build habitats that are more elaborate than your standard square or rectangle. The challenge mode made me scratch my head. One particular challenge, set on easy, only gave you $20,000 to start with. But with the cost of building one habitat that was comparable to the two others already established in that zoo, plus the cost of adoption, most of the money was gone, and there was no way to complete the challenge unless you simply let the game run for a year to replenish the funds so you could continue to work towards the goal. But the way the goal was set up, you would have to continue the cycle of build/adopt and wait a year with each habitat built before the animal the goal set for you to adopt was even available. It just seemed like an incredible waste of time. Free Form mode was more fun in my opinion, but there was absolutely no challenge to it, unless you set goals for yourself. Money was unlimited, everything was unlocked, and all it took was a few hours of game play to get the zoo to its best rating possible. Too simple. One thing that was very lacking in this game was the availability of an aviary, or a greater variety of birds that could cohabit. Flamingos and Peacocks seemed to get along fine. But try anything else and it was a dangerous combination for some reason. No ducks, no petting zoo, no elaborate lizard or insect exhibits like you would see at a normal zoo. It made for disappointing game play. I was in it for the realism, and it just didn't seem to add up for me. I didn't even get around to playing with the dinosaur feature. It seemed a little too out there to really mess with - more Jurassic Park than realistic zoo. If that's something you're into though, you might have fun with it. All in all, it was entertaining for the couple days I dedicated to it, but quickly became frustrating, as the larger my zoo got, the more the animals supposedly got out of their habitats (when they really didn't). Even with a large, dedicated zoo staff, things quickly became annoying. It did have a large database or encyclopedia that helped the player understand the animals better. I think if the game itself had been planned better mechanically and the bugs had been sifted out beforehand, the added expansions included in this set would have been worth the time. Kids younger than 13 might like it, but teenagers or adults who enjoy realistic sims might not enjoy this.Read full review

Works Mostly Fine
For some reason, Marine Mania tanks and things don't work. Haven't tried reinstalling yet. Other than that, which seems to be a common problem, everything looks fine. I used to play this game as a kid, and it's wonderful. Works fine on Windows 10.
