GoG really needs to get that game on their store, or at least Steam as well. Also Theme park World would be nice too.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

try compatibility modes. there is no guarantee they will work, but it is worth a shot.

if not, i have had experience with trying to get ancient games from the past to work. in the end the only thing that worked for me was a Virtual Machine

I still play the game every now and then, and I'd love to see this game getting the HD Remaster treatment that Age of Empires 2 got.

And then, just like with AoE 2HD, they could expand the game more via DLCs with more booths and animals ... Oh, well, one can dream!

Okay, so look what happened. Because Zoo Tycoon is installed in the Microsoft Games folder, it somehow mixed the text from Zoo Tycoon with the one from AoE. I can't look at the animal's needs! XD I'll have to reinstall it somewhere else.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yeah, I can see myserlf jumping for it if they gave it the AoE II HD treatment.
