I remember playing this game when i was a kid, it was probably the first 3d game i played, I loved building zoo's and watch the people and animals in them. It was also really fun to explore the zoo's as a character in the game. I still remember the soundtrack, it was so good. PS. The game is available for digital download on Amazon (I think it's drm free, but have not been able to test it) so please bring it to GOG.

I have serious nostalgia for this game. This and the original are some of the first games I ever played when I was young. Haven't been able to play it for the better part of two decades but I would love to again.
I had so many hours of fun with this game ^^ It was indeed fun, managing everything. It was one of the first games that made me love the management games genre. I love it. ^^

Ah, I still have the disks and case for this game, the snafus my old man had to go to send it out and getting it. This is a peak zoo game with animals I dont see in current zoo games, yes it has dinosaurs but Jurassic world evolution is just shiny and nothing more. Plus, it isn't just dinosaurs in a proper zoo game but a number of ice age or recently extinct animals.

Pierwszy raz miałam styczności z tą grą jak byłam dzieckiem, to było jak miałam 11 lat. Od tego czasu gra bardzo wryła mi się w pamięć i wywołuje sentyment, teraz kiedy mam prawie 30 lat na karku i ten sentyment się uaktywnił i chęć zagrania była tak silna że wyszukałam ta grę w czeluściach szafy i przy instalacji okazało się że jeden z dodatków nie działa a mając pełną (prawie) kolekcję bardzo chciałabym przypomnieć sobie ten czar tej niesamowitej gry.

One of my favourite childhood games! I love it, especially the extinct animals dlc. (I remember not going to school one time so I could build mastodon enclousure) It has cool graphic style, many great animals and challenge mode with randomized events happening to your zoo. This game is also highly moddable! There are creators making new animals, scenery objects and whole new ways of building. This game is loved by community and it would be great to bring it to GOG.
One of first 3D game, which I play, it is economy teaching (on crash mode), building teaching game, it is pitty to be forgotten on "gray zone" neither buy, neither download is not legally posible
Esse jogo além de divertido é nostálgico pra caramba, lembro muito de jogar ele nos meus computadores mais fracos e me divertir muito e ainda tenho um carinho querido por esse jogo muito mesmo. eu quero muito esse jogo na gog para poder realizar isso

I remember spending hours and hours and even more hours on this game, both in creative mode and in challenge mode to unlock even more decoration options. I remember how much fun it was to enter zookeeper mode and explore the park and take care of the animals. Unfortunately, I never had access to the expansions, so this would be a great opportunity for GOG, both for those who want to play and for those who would play the expansions for the first time.
Ha the ultimate version of Zoo Tycoon 2 I spent hours playing this game at my grandparents' house unfortunately I only had the expansion that adds the dinosaurs.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
