Gaming News - November 2002

Redmond, WA (November 20, 2002) - Microsoft Game Studios today announced that the Zoo Tycoon expansion pack trial version is now available on the official Zoo Tycoon site at www.zootycoon.com.  This trial version features content from both Zoo Tycoon expansion packs: Dinosaur Digs and the recently released Marine Mania.

From Microsoft:

Virtual zookeepers who download the trial version (83 MB) will be treated to four tutorials (one from Dinosaur Digs and three from Marine Mania), and one Marine Mania map. The dinosaurs and animals featured in the trial version include the likes of the velociraptor, allosaurus, polar bear, manta ray and pacific walrus. The trial version will also come packed with an orca, a show animal that can perform a series of tricks.

Developed by Blue Fang Games LLC, the Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania expansion pack integrates seamlessly with the original Zoo Tycoon, which is required for play. Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania also includes all the prehistoric content available in Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs, an expansion pack that was released earlier this year. Zoo Tycoon players can now merge land animals, prehistoric beasts and aquatic creatures in a quest to build the ultimate zoo. More information about Zoo Tycoon and the two expansion packs is available at www.zootycoon.com.  The Marine Mania expansion pack is currently on store shelves in North America and retails for an estimated price of $29.99 (U.S.).
