You know the game is good when developers think about animals "accidently" escaping their enclosures.

[@irissupercoolsy]

in the beginning when playing the game my fences always broke down haha. ALWAYS PANIC

[@EmptyZoo393]

It was the monkeys climbing trees next to the fences that did it for me. Also, I ended every scenario with closing off the entrance and releasing the animals once the objectives were met. The tour guides always got eaten first for some reason.

[@TheBfutgreg]

@@EmptyZoo393 Sounds just like my experience with Jurassic Park Operation Genesis.....5 star park! The reward? Massive piles of cash to create dozens of dinos and to fence in the people with them

I remember playing this in English, which is not my native language, and making a mistake: The tutorial had told me that each guest had meters depicting their needs, and one of those needs could be fulfilled with a restroom. At the time I did not know what "restroom" meant, but I assumed it was a room where you get rest. I then spent the campaigns going: "What? That meter is depleted again? Look, I've placed plenty of benches; just sit down and get some rest there!".

[@seancotter1965]

I had the exact same problem in British English until I figured it out haha

[@RosimInc7]

In my case it was RollerCoaster Tycoon, where my lack of English understanding led me to think that "hungry" meant "angry" (I wasn't too far phonetically), and "thirsty" meant "sad" (since "sad" is "triste" in French). So I would send thirsty guests to an area where all rides were free to cheer them up, and I would drown all hungry guests.

[@Neptunequeen42]

whenever I went to our local zoo as a kid, they always let the peacocks roam around freely among the guests and exhibits. I’d never known anything else so when I built my zoo I just plopped them down in the guest areas. Did not understand what everyone was so upset about. Edit: it's fascinating that this seems to be a universal phenomenon! For the record I was at the Detroit zoo, but it seems like a ton of places do this! All the more reason it should have been a real feature.

[@idi0tsanswich379]

That sounds like that'd be such a neat thing! in real zoos I mean- not that it wouldn't in the game Must've been cool at the time to experience just seeing those big colorful birds just walking among crowds n whatnot

[@Neptunequeen42]

@@idi0tsanswich379 Oh totally, for a 5 year old it was just an overwhelming temptation to chase and catch them, but they were pretty wily! To this day I’m not sure why it was like that. They never seemed stressed, at least.

[@Holgast]

You can sort of do this in Planet Zoo, where some animals are absolutely fine with guests walking through their enclosure. Peafowl are one of them. They are pretty chill and tend to hang around a single area - there's a population of them at my university and they basically just hang around the arts faculty.

I love the style of a lot of the older 2D games like this. These series always seemed like they made the shift to 3D really awkwardly.

There was no in between. I also spent a good amount of time reading the zoo keeper information on each animal, even the creatures like the Yeti and the Unicorns had them. I attribute me choosing to major in biology to this game. Really sparked my love for animals, guest eating and all.

One of my favorite cheese moments was when I realized large animals could be contained by terraforming their future exhibit down by two tiles, then using the cheapest low fence to keep them in. Despite the warnings the game offers about them escaping weak fencing, nothing but dinosaurs can escape that. And it's far cheaper than using higher price fencing. For the dinosaurs, you just need a deeper pit.

What you need to do is put in about thirty nacho stands all at the entrance of the zoo (with the price maxed out), and flamingos. They breed like crazy and can have a zillion of them in a small cage, they don't need shelters and they only poo on the ground (not water) so minimal cleanup, and you can sell the adults off. The only zoo I ever got to be insanely profitable and popular was one on Mars that was basically just nacho stands.

[@Liger-Inuzuka]

Zoo Tycoon was my favorite game as a child , it taught me lots of new words, like "rubbish." When Dinosaurs were angry, they would trample their enclosure turning every object into "rubbish" and then that would in turn make them unhappy. The Zoo Keeper kept telling me they were unhappy, missing foliage or rocks, then those would be trampled into rubbish, then back around in the same circle of unhappiness until my Zoo was closed down from further animals until I succeeded in making those Dinosuars happy. Since I couldn't figure out what "rubbish" was, eventually I broke down crying to my parents how every Dino was unhappy. Ah memories !

[@dargoid]

Omg the way you start the park is exactly the same line of thinking I have back when I was 10. "Okay, one big path in the middle then separate them into different area of marine animals, dinosaurs, and good ol' land animals, first one upfront is a lion exhibit on the left side"
