I had recently bought Rollercoaster Tycoon and I started to remember playing Zoo Tycoon. Please bring the Original Zoo Tycoon back, I had lots of good and fun memories playing this game. Building a Zoo and putting so many variety animals to put in your zoo was so fun, When I got bored I would let all the Animals lose just to watch them run around scaring the npc customers. it is the perfect Good Old Game that deserves to be sold and played on GOG. Don't let this game be lost and gone forever, please bring it back.
Super fun tycoon game, just as much of a classic as Rollercoaster Tycoon so why isn't it here too?? I was never very good at as a kid so it would be great to have a version easy to play now anytime. And even if you do suck it's always fun to just let the animals loose in the zoo!

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

MechWarrior: Living Legends
MechWarrior: Living LegendsInitially released in 2009, MechWarrior: Living Legends (MWLL) is an award-winning total conversion multiplayer-only mod for Crysis Wars. A sort of tactical FPS, MWLL combines BattleTech's combined-arms warfare and universe with BattleField's vast open maps and domination-style gameplay. The project became a "standalone mod" when development was transferred to its own fanbase in 2016, who incorporated a bare-bones Crysis Wars demo as part of the new install package. MWLL uses CryEngine 2 as its engine and is set in the BattleTech universe. It is one of the few BattleTech-themed mods to have been sanctioned by Microsoft.
