Man, this needs to get put on Steam. It's a bloody travesty I can't find it there.
I know! Way to hard to track down some of these games!
I have a digital copy that just needs deamon tools lite. I have the marine and Dino ones too
Agreed! I have the hard copy of the complete collection of this game, but I've had it since I was a kid so it's a little worn sadly. Might hunt on Amazon for a new one so I can play again, but I'd prefer if it was on Steam.
Kirsty Chalmers Yeah, I had them all as well, there still around somewhere but I'm sure the disk are old and worn like the other persons.
Brittany Garrison Yeah, that's the one I had, think I got it when the bane cane out so yeah, it probably won't run.
Oh that main menu theme song! Nostalgia just hit hard.
Right?! Crazy how it sticks after so long!
For whatever reason, the biggest nostalgia trigger for me was the happy and sad animal reaction sound effects!
@@amandajohnson650 Yeah, so iconic!
Ahhh the sweet, precious memories of me letting the lions out and watching them attack my guests 😌
Sadist! :D
Or watching a zookeeper lonewolf taking down multiple escaped t-rexes if you had the expansions.
This game was my jam. My best friend and I would sit for hours and take turns making a park together. I remember traveling in the car with the box and looking at the art and images and reading through the manual. I was super excited about the expansions and my friend got Marine Mania for my birthday and gave it to me in school. Zoo Tycoon was a different experience, possibly better but nothing will match what I felt for this first game. I still love the graphics
Now you're making me nostalgic :')
Man, I haven’t heard those primate and aviary sounds in over a decade.
Did anyone else spend 5 odd minutes at the start of the game increasing the beginning money? 😂
This game may have literally been my first computer game! Ahh, the nostalgia. So happy to see you playing it, even as we're about to advance to much higher technological levels with Planet Zoo on the horizon. Well, you'll be advancing, my PC hasn't caught up with the times just yet and I'll have to experience it vicariously :P
Of course, I was never any good at this game and always managed to go bankrupt eventually...
Chances are, we go bankrupt too :D
This was also my first computer game! My love of animals started with this game and Steve Irwin. It's a shame that it's impossible to find now!
Such nostalgia. Even just the noises of the mouse clicks and interactions as you place things. It brings back all the memories. I have this plus the two expansions in my cupboard at home. Think it was Marine Mania and Dinsoaur Digs I think. I may have to install ! lol
Gaming Nation UK right the clicks!!! takes me back
Totally agree. Just the clicks and the ambient sounds like the birds and the wind bring back all the memories... I also remember when I visited my local zoo and then headed back to this game and ZT2. Tremendous levels of nostalgia
Oh my god the damn title music gave me instant flashbacks
I went to elementary school when I played this game, now I'm in college. My grandpa loved animals and zoos, and I loved playing games. I was super bad at building good looking exhibits and my grandpa built a zoo too sometimes, built the exhibits for me etc., we played the game together after school and tried recreate our local zoo haha
He is deceased by now x.x But it brings back some awesome memories!
The sound of placing paths and that till machine whirr takes me waaaaaaaaaaaaay back.
Imo the graphics still hold up remarkably well, unlike Zoo Tycoon 2.
pixel graphics so often do!
I still play zok tycoon 2, there are so many hyper realistic mods it looks like almost like a new game. It's just the ai that is outdated
You are 100% correct!
It's heartbreaking that it can't be found on any of the online game retailers... I hope it won't be forever stuck in limbo, because my own discs got trashed in a serious case clumsy... *whistles innocently*...
You should get radical remake mod
Get radical remake. It ups ZT2's graphics (i.e. more realistic animal models, biomes, plants and rocks). The only problem is that the buildings and decorative objects haven't been remade and they stand out as bad as PS2 graphics on a modern game.
I used to have this on my DS. I would play it for HOURS
This still is my favorite game even though I haven’t played in years
It's awesome!!
Man I still own the play the complete collection of this game usually once every couple of months just out of peer nostalgia. I remember I found out about the game because my grandparents computer they bought game with it on it so I played it there. Then I got it for my self from the Scholastic book fair.
I was literally telling my son all about this game today, nice one!!
It's a classic!
I remember playing this with my son 🤓
Brings back so, so much fond memories! Thanks for recording this playthrough!
Yes! Thank you so much for playing this!! I’ve been looking for a decent playthrough off this classic. This game is what started my love of Simulation and Tycoon gaming 😁
Awesome!
This was an awesome game... I got addicted to the tycoon games with Rollercoaster Tycoon. Sim Tycoon was great too, underrated, but great to play 😋
I am ALWAYS down for watching Zoo Tycoon. I LOVE this game.
Classic part of my childhood, waking up early to get on the old laptop and play Zoo Tycoon. I’m thinking of buying the game again, love it!
Oh my god! The sounds!!! Right back to my childhood! Now I need to play zoo tycoon again!!!
I'm kind of annoyed watching him play this because I literally remember everything from this game XD I'm hard up talking to the screen like "duhh you find this there and there".. I played this game a lot lol
I liked this so much more than Zoo Tycoon 2. The keeper could reach every poop. Gosh, that bug annoyed me so much in ZT2. Actually, I still play ZT1 still several times a year. I like to build special habitats and scenic zoos with the limited choices we have. I always cheat though and make everything available right from the start.
Really loving the retroness of this!!! Please continue as a mini series!!!!
To say a fist pumped when this came out would be putting it lightly! This game was my childhood! I took my dads laptop on a camping holiday just so I could play this when I was younger!
SUCH a game :D
This game always seems to be the one I play once a year out of pure nostalgia
Theme Hospital and Evil Genius are mine!
I would love to see some more until Planet zoo next week it’s so close I can hardly wait.
I spent many childhood hours on this game, Disney's early rollercoaster tycoon game, hot wheels velocity X, and need for speed hot pursut.
looking this game makes me happy, it remind me good old times
Brings back so many memories. Thanks for this video. Wouldn't mind seeing more.
I remember playing this along with roller coaster tycoon and sim city. The nostalgia!
7:19 My favourite - thanks for playing this game! I loved it so much as a kid, I wore out the disc and I can no longer play it :(
It's a tricky one to get running now I think, sadly!
Such awesome nostalgia. Thanks for bringing me back to my childhood!
YES YES AND YES OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS. SO happy you're doing this. childhood memories!!!
Watching this game since years brings back so many memories that even though I'm only 24 my midlife crisis strikes in like an V2 rocket
This is great, the nostalgia hit me hard! Please make a series out of it :D
I love this game! Still have the DS version. I played that game a lot as a kid.
That really takes me back xD I remember playing zoo tycoon back when I was a kid, didn't have a strong grasp on the English language yet, my game was installed in English though. Had to do a lot of guessing back then.
Hehe, good effort!
I love the music and sounds of this game.
I love this game! Please continue! I no longer have a computer that will run the OG Zoo Tycoon
I had this and the marine and dinosaur add-on, nostalgic
You should recreate this zoo when Planet Zoo comes out!
These old Tycoon games are my favorite! I just love the old graphics., especially no with everything going for realism. I play Vegas Tycoon (renamed Vegas Make it Big) and LOVE it. You should put that on your channel. Would love to see what you do with it.
I love the classics. Tbh, a lot of them don't work for the channel as they don't do well... this is an exception with the Zoo hype right now
The one and only, starter of zoo games!
this is my favorite game to continue until a long episode
This took me back! I put so many hours into this game as a kid! 👍
Yesss play this all week, loving it!
This game was iconic for its time... well this and Age of Empires! Nice gameplay man! :P
Oh wow I had memories of the UI and the theme music and everything, but I had such a strong nostalgic feeling for the happy/unhappy animal sounds when changing the terrain
Oh christ the "Can't place this here" boing... how could I forget that godforsaken sound
One of my favorite tycoon games ever lol
This was a gem. Also zoo tycoon 2. I love Marine and dinos dlc!!!
I'm so excited to see you are playing the original Zoo Tycoon! I hope you keep playing even long after Planet Zoo comes out! So long as you have the time of course! Lovely job as always Jonti!
I'll warn you now... this is TOTALLY filler until next week. But I'm sure we'll have fun til then :)
@@Geekism Totally fine and understandable! I can't wait to play PZ and come back to watch your videos for breaks along the way! Looking forward to it all! :)
I would play this game all the time in my family’s basement as a kid!
Oh man this hits me right in the nostalgia but this is rocking man, hope you keep up the good work!
Gonna say that a moose is appropriate as your first animal, seeing as you're all Canadian now. What would have been an English exhibit? Lion? Bulldog? Ice cream-theiving seagull?
The nostalgia is real!
I have hard copies of this and Zoo Tycoon 2. I did start replaying Zoo Tycoon 2 before planet zoo till my gaming PC was fried.
So looking forward to playing Planet Zoo...
Having watched the whole video now, when your placing foliage or rocks keep placing till the happy faces go away then you know you have enough (saves having to open the other window time and time again).I was so into this game I had guides on exhibit to get perfect enclosure suitable for each animal.
I'd personally love to see more :D
That theme tune! I love how basic it is 😂 yet at the time it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen
Ha, yeah... we've come a long way, but we stand on the shoulders of giants
Ah, the first game I started investing a lot of time in. I’m majoring in Animal Management right now because of this very game.
That's amazing!
Oh god, the nostalgia.
i remember it looks better than this what actually happened ?
I believe that there was a free patch added later on that added a ton of new animals and things (including a bigfoot and yeti!). That and the expansions made this game awesome. If you can track em down, give it a try!
If you name an enclosure Xanadu, you will unlock the unicorn ;)
Ha! Neat :D
You'll also get it if you complete the Paradise Island scenario.
The original Zoo Tycoon along with Dinosaur Digs and Marine Mania need to be on Steam.
Hey Geekism, loves this game. But if you're looking for a new game I found a game on steam that would fit this channel really well, Its called Cliff Empire and it is a challenging and unique city builder that I think you would like. Thanks for all your hard work and I can't wait for PlanZo
Ohhh the drum beat is hitting my nostalgia hard, going to have to delve in to my parents attic and source an external disc drive!
(or I might have to check if it's on steam as I already have RCT 1 & 2 on there)
It's not online unfortunately!
The memories!!! Planet Zoo can't come soon enough.
I know!
I remember when I was ten. And I think there is definitely a game where my zoos are more good-looking than yours!!! (PS: I'm French so don't blame me for my spelling 😁)
The Nostalgia is great but man oh man, how the fuck did I cope listening to that ape sound looped?! MY EARS.
I want this game and its expansions on Steam!!!
Oh shoot, the flashbacks...
Would love to play this game again just need to get a computer one day
I was just thinking about this game a few days ago! Love it!
Yes play more :D some animals are an absolute bloody pain to keep happy though!
I find myself wondering how many people in this channel have never even seen a floppy disk drive.
I've been thinking about an EDD for this game. I don't think I've put more hours in any other game.
Used to love this game and I still do, but its hard to see the worlds of graphics changing. I would have prefered to see you playing the ultimate collection with the marine mania and dinosaurs dlcs
Sorry. This is the one I have 🤷♂️
@@Geekism haha, I knew but I wanted to make sure you didnt hide anything from us ^'^
Lucky you still happened to have the disc - we kept hold of ours too and I’m always glad to have it on hand, I still have such fun with it! Makes me want to mess around with it again before Planet Zoo owns my life. I’d love to see more of this from you before the beta!
Did you ever play with expansions? The marine expansion was always my favourite.
I THINK I had marine and Dino... but honestly it's been that long I can't remember!
Please play this game all week 😂
Deal!
Ugh desperately wish I could play this, still have the deluxe edition on disk but my laptop doesn’t have a disk drive for it :( miss the nostalgia of it
You can pick up a USB external disk drive for about $20. That’s what I’m using :)
Geekism had no idea something like that exists! I’ll definitely look into it! Thanks!
And, an Eternity Ad with Jake Gyllenhaal sporting an awesome beard played before this vid. Thanks for that. :)
Ha, you're welcome!
Can't waiit for the beta of Planet Zoo 😍😍
" thats a sexy little zoo if i say so myself! "
.......say what now?
THAT’S A SEXY LITTLE ZOO IF I SAY SO MYSELF
This is great! Also can u please play zoo tycoon 2 as well because it is considered by many to be the best zoo builder game out there and I have to agree.
As I mention in the video, I never played it and can't get it now unfortunately! Not long til Planet Zoo though :)
I can’t wait for planet zoo either, I’ll also be playing the beta next week! NEXT WEEK! I’m not gonna be able to sleep Monday night.
@@Geekism Is it in no stores anywhere?
I can't watch this! I've got zoo tycoon 2 ultimate collection, but my new computer doesn't have a dvd drive to read it. This just has me chomping even more at the bit!
S117 Oracle Literally just got a dvd drive recently to run zoo tycoon 2 and all the dlc's. Just do what I did and get a cheap USB dvd drive, works just fine
I use a USB drive, no issues :)
You should try Parkasaurus. It is really cool, you make a dinosaur zoo.
Played it on the channel ages ago. Didn't really enjoy it :(
@@Geekism ok :)
more episodes please!!
00:10 this week 🤩
got a planet zoo ad before this video
YESSS! I LOVE THIS GAME!
Name the exhibit Xanadu and get a unicorn!!!!
Nice video!
I want a marine Mania Dlc in the planet zoo just like in these two games, but people don't want shows and this makes me sad. 😥😖
I'd be happy with Otters, Sealions, Dolphins. I don't think we'd get Orcas though
@@Geekism Some people in my opinion are exaggerating very unnecessary. If they write to Zoopedia that killer whales want huge areas, there's no problem.
Could always.. ya know.. play parkitect :D
Recorded one this week actually, will be up soon :)
Did he post anywhere how he actually got to run/find/play this game ?
I wish I had a computer that could play Zoo Tycoon. Had to sell it and Zoo Tycoon 2 when the computer that could play it stopped working well. That's the thing with technology, eventually it all gets replaced and I can't play my favorite games anymore. :( I still have the DS version, but the very low limit on the number of paddocks ruins it.
Nostalgia overload love it
You should play with the dinosaur digs and marine mania they are incredible expansions and fairly easy to get hold of online and add tons of content
Tbh... I'm playing this for a few days til Planet Zoo comes out. I doubt I'll get that far!
This game so impossible to get a hold of xD. It puzzles me thst GOG out of all games, doesn't have this game yet. Is it not abandon ware? If so who owns the rights currently? Or is getting a hold of the source code the issue?
I recommend you playing parkitect also. Us fans have been waiting.
Nostalgia
I loved this game it's a shame it's so expensive to get a copy nowdays
