Zookeeper's Lounge

Been a long time since I posted here. The computer I bought to play ZT2 and Roller Coaster Tycoon on 5 years ago went to Digital Heaven in August. Now I have a new computer! I just started playing ZT1 again. Haven't played in a long time! So far, at least, ZT1 seems to work just fine on Vista 64! It...

You know, the little squirrels that run around wild in forest themed games, the kangaroo rats in desert ones, etc. I love the squirrels! I wish we could adopt them like we do with the official animals. Especially if the could roam free like the Peafowl.

There is or was a grocery chain called Food Lion, maybe that is where the idea is from.

I want them as animals I can put in an exhibit! I love squirrels, I wish we could have them in the game, they could roam free like peacocks!

No, it was very obvious to me the first time I played as Zookeeper and walked up to one of the poos. Made me laugh!

Anyone ever notice that some of the animals "poo" in ZT2 looks like a monkey or gorilla holding a ball? 'Tis true. In Zookeeper mode, walk up to a pile of poo. Big cats or bears poo, I think. The poo is in the shape of a monkey! Gross, but funny, I wonder if some people at Blue Fang did it...

The prices aren't as good as they seem when you take into account people were getting paid an average of 22 cents per hour, though.

I believe ZT1 is available for Macs now, but not ZT2.

I know, I thought it strange, too. But in ZT2 it works, the animals are happy, the Okapi and Lemur deliriously so, and the guests love it. Perhaps my chimps would attack the lemurs if there were not outnumbered about 25 to 1! I have 6 chimps, and one of those is a baby. There's probably 120 lemurs o...

Ah, Ring-Tailed Lemurs, the Warthogs of ZT2. Live forever and breed like rabbits! I have a HUGE rainforest mixed species exhibit with Okapi, Lemurs, and Chimps. There's a dozen or so Okapi, half a dozen Chimps, they are the newest additions to the exhibit, and haven't had so much time to expand and ...

It might be fixable with your computer, try here: http://www.microsoft.com/games/zootycoo ... upport.asp

Keep playing, it really does get easier the more you play. That first Zookeeper in Training scenario is a good one to practice with, the guests are very indulgent and forgiving. I''ve gotten much better with paths and fence making with the practice. Be careful. With Polar Bears, Grizzlies, and Cheet...

No problems with a shaky cursor here. There might well be something in the game controls to help. I have a new computer with a very fast processor and lots of memory, and a graphics card to match and that may have something to do with it too. If worse comes to worse, you could call MS tech support, ...

I just discovered this tonight. When you are using the Biome Brush, you can pick from different types of terrain within each Biome type. There's shallow and deep water, plus several others. Pick the Savannah one. You'll see this sort of grid. Each grid represents a different type of terrain you can ...
