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...
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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Transarctica
TransarcticaThe story is based on a post-apocalyptic science fiction saga La Compagnie des Glaces (The Ice Company) written by Georges-Jean Arnaud and the comic strip Le Transperceneige (The Snowpiercer) by Jacques Lob. In the 21st century, mankind is being ravaged by the greenhouse effect. A last-ditch effort to counteract it is designed and executed. It works far too well. Centuries if not millennia later, the planet is entirely covered in a thick, opaque cloud layer. Giant wolf packs roam the frozen wastes, and the mammoth has re-emerged from the elephant stock. Mankind ekes out a living in a few handfuls of settlements, connected by a network of massive armored trains. The network in turn is in the hands of the gargantuan Viking Union, which is merciless towards threats to its power. A few radicals, though, are willing to attempt a change, and managing to hijack a train of the Union, the Transarctica, they set out in search of the "sun".

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Five Nights at Freddy's
Five Nights at Freddy'sWelcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course; and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds! The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman. From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed! Can you survive five nights at Freddy's?
