Zoo Tycoon 2: First zoo expansion

Saturday, November 3, 2007

It was a long week peppered with little sleep, so I thought I'd play a little Zoo Tycoon 2 tonight. I did go back into my Bloggersville City Zoo, but I really didn't do much. It really wasn't even worth a screenshot.

The biggest change was the addition of Karl and Garbo, my grizzly bears. One thing I miss from the first Zoo Tyccon is the very specific zookeeper recommendations that told you exactly what you had too much or too little of. In version 2, it's not quite so clear. I think I built a pretty good enclosure, but I'm not 100% sure.

Still, the bears seem to be a popular addition. I also moved Lyle's Family Restaurant to the corner of Lyle's pen, upped it to a mid-scale restaurant, and placed some trash bins and benches. I also added some koi to Lyle's water, but he didn't seem too interested. For a bloodthirsty carnivore, he's actually kind of boring. But later I went back and they were gone, so I guess he must have got them after all. I added some more.

Like I said, I haven't slept much this week, so I really wasn't in much of a mood to play. I kept it short, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I just don't feel like being creative now.
