Simulation Zoo (New)

For someone who loved Bullfrog sims, this scratched that exact itch—the animal footage is a nice touch when you're checking if the enclosures work. I've spent hours tweaking the zoo layout to keep both the budget and the animals happy.

The animal footage is what sold me—it’s surprisingly crisp and makes checking on each exhibit feel like a real safari. I’ve already lost an evening tweaking the enclosure layouts to keep the tigers happy, and the Bullfrog-style freedom gives it a nice, relaxed pace.

I was a bit skeptical about a zoo management game on Saturn, but the way you can design every enclosure and watch the animals interact feels surprisingly deep. The video clips of real animals are a nice touch that adds personality to the exhibits.
