Overview
From the beginning, the player is presented with an isometric view of an empty lot. Using a variety of tools at his or her disposal, the player builds exhibits and tweaks designs, creating custom-made habitats for increasingly exotic animals. Zoo Tycoon shipped with forty built-in animals, but Microsoft Games released a number more through their website.
Zoo Tycoon features a faux three-dimensional engine, allowing four-sided rotation and two zoom modes. It requires 32MB of RAM, 4MB VRAM, 250MB hard drive space, a 233Mhz processor, and a 4X CD-ROM drive.
Success and expansion
Zoo Tycoon was created in the image of the 1999 Hasbro Interactive game RollerCoaster Tycoon, which sold well for many years. Although Zoo Tycoon was not as successful, it did well enough for Microsoft and Blue Fang Games to release two expansion packs, Dinosaur Digs which added dinosaur animals, and Marine Mania which added aquatic functionality.
Microsoft later bundled Zoo Tycoon and its two expansion packs into one package, sold under Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection. A sequel, Zoo Tycoon 2, was released in 2004 along with its expansion pack later that year, Zoo Tycoon 2: Endangered Species. A version of Zoo Tycoon was also released for the Nintendo DS in 2005.
