I had this weird way to play Zoo Tycoon 2. Some times I turned the whole zoo into a giant environment, like a giant desert or a huge jungle or something, put a fence with different animals, and before they started killing each other, release them and see how they survived. And since it had a first person view, I also liked to "survive" there too. It was kinda cool.
Lauren Dewolf And You don't bloody know that It's still going lol. Seriously I recommend you play this game again and Download those thousands of mods out there.
I always used to let the animals go free and watch all of the guests run around in horror xD But of course I did play the game as it was attended to be played. One of the best simulator/tycoon games of all time (and still is in 2024)
Man...I'm getting goosebumps from all this nostalgia, it's reminding me back in 2003 or so when I had my Windows 98 computer and I had to decide whether to install RCT1 or ZT1 on the computer, it reminds me of all the fun times I had with the game. I find it sad that we see all these amazing developers diminish into dust and is never heard or talked about again asides from the people who once played the games they made... I hope there is a possibility for a sequel in the future.
Zoo Tycoon 2 is turning 20 years old in 2024. This game is my childhood. I was like 8 crying to my mum to buy this game to me. She did. Absolutely unforgettable and makes me tear up.
Omg, I haven't heard this theme song in so many years. Reminds me of those days when I was little and would get excited when it would play, gaaah the memories!
I came here just because when i sing the "walk like an egyptian" melody, i keep thinking "damn isn't that zootycoon i am singing ?" It's been years and i just took the time to come and check it. :')

Zoo Tycoon 2 plus all the expansions, plus all of the modded expansion/animals/ect. (such as Island Excursions or Radical Remake) were the best that this series had. The new xbone version is very disappointing and lacks real customization. Rather than build things, it comes pre-built and loses the ability to make really cool zoos.
exactly. plus the xbox one version doesn't have the brushes, the exhibits are literally made for you. the animals don't have as much behavior and they can't kill eachother because you can't move animals to other exhibits. who cares about the cool graphics if it's barely even fun? zoo tycoon 2 had a lasting appeal and if you're bored, just play it and trust me you'll be sitting at your computer for hours. even without the expansion packs it's fun. the xbox one version is a last resort if you really have nothing, and i mean NOTHING to do. it's only more appealing than homework.
Good old times, memories, yes. But I still have the game, it's 2017 and I still play it whenever I get the urge. So the memories are still pretty much alive for me. :-) Zoo Tycoon 1 is just memory. I'm just sad that they didn't make a Zoo Tycoon 3 on PC. :-(
I have a core memory of my Mom buying this for me on Christmas and installing it on our old Windows XP computer. Building my dream zoos and her always checking on the progress I made with it. She passed a few years ago, but every time I hear this I think of her and that memory.
Memories, sweet sweet memories. As soon as I heard this agian you were subed in about .1 of a milisecound. (I know slow). Zoo tycoon the first RTS game I played. And the best.
The HOURS my dad and I would play this game for! I was quite young so while I could (and did!) play the game I wasn't super good so my dad would spend hours making beautiful zoos for me to marvel at 🥺

I remember when my mum bought this for me not long after it released.. Our home PC was so shitty back then, the main menu theme would play but it'd display a black screen. Sad times.
@junyigamers You're welcome! And thank you for uploading this great piece! =D This also brings back alot of memories! I haven't been able to listen to this version of the Zoo Tycoon 2 theme for quite awhile, so being able to enjoy it again is really great! =)
I loved this game so much as a kid and so did my older siblings I recently got our old cds it to work on our Windows 10 desktop and my brother and I had a lot of fun making and destroying a zoo I missed this so much and im so happy i got it to work
I used to play this game so much when I was younger. This brings me so much nostalgia. I didnt really understand english back then so I basically just played however I wanted, and it was a disaster. But I had so much fun! I wanna play this again.
i absolutely LOVED this game as a kid! I would trap my zookeepers in with the lions because they kept wanting to take breaks and complain about their pay >:(
I remember breaking the game once by having about 100 penguins....they all kept getting pregnant and after 150- ish penguins the eggs just decided to no longer hatch... great memories

+Viktoria Magrey Thank God Im not the only one!! :D
Doing that was really awesone and fun.
i did the same thing
you're a.... quad-squad! :D
I had thirty wolves in one place once. Their enclosure was freakin' huge.
All I would ever want to do is feed the flamingos to the alligators. I loved watching them try to run.
for being a 17 yr old game, it still holds up surprisingly well ngl. i still find myself playing it time-to-time.
My childhood

There's Jurassic World Evolution which is similar but obviously not the same
Friendshipismagic planet zoo is a sequel that comes out this fall

Its great Zoo Tycoon 2 cured my pessimism, and you did too partly.
Still playing after 14 years! Legends never die
This game will never be forgotten
Thought this was the sickest beat when I was 12
What do you mean, it's always a sick beat (I turn 18 this year )
Still is
Omg, I haven't heard this theme song in so many years. Reminds me of those days when I was little and would get excited when it would play, gaaah the memories!
Uh oh.
This song reminds me of The Bangles Walk Like An Egyptian
I came here just because when i sing the "walk like an egyptian" melody, i keep thinking "damn isn't that zootycoon i am singing ?"
It's been years and i just took the time to come and check it. :')
It really does sound similar now that you mention it, never made that connection before

AFIHYISAUFIOSUFDOJSA I DID THE SAME THING
Every now and again my brain would just randomly put this on loop. Good times w this game~
That's my brain just did lol. That's why I'm here
used to play this when I was about 8 back in 2009. This song really brings back so many memories
good times.... good times...
There will not be a zoo tycoon 3 because blue fang and Microsoft left each other :(

+ChronomonHM That's not really Zoo Tycoon 3 though.
I know
too bad it sucks
Welcome Planet zoo : D

GreyedInterests plus the timed challenges are required and really dumb you can't even just enjoy yourself
fireball111121 I agree
Well at least there planet zoo to be the 3rd zoo tycoon we all hoped for.
Amazing game, my dream when I was kid, glad that it existed
top 10 anime openings of our childhood
HOLY SHIT THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD
I used to make one giant Environment and like an ecosystem and used to experience Natural Selection of Spices 🤣🤣🤣
Ookkk.
Am I the only one who would have a giant pen of lions or something then let them run free and attack everbody?
This could be a fitting theme for a Zootopia game. I remember playing this game years ago, and the graphics still look pretty good.
Jennifer McAdam I think it would work nicely with a game based on that movie.
i remember when i got this game in mint condition from a store for 1 BUCK!!!!
Brings me back so much.
my heart is melting from amount the high memory i get
OMG! I love this game! Nostalgic memories coming back!
This game was absolutely brilliant. Such a nostalgic theme
Good old times, memories, yes. But I still have the game, it's 2017 and I still play it whenever I get the urge. So the memories are still pretty much alive for me. :-)
Zoo Tycoon 1 is just memory. I'm just sad that they didn't make a Zoo Tycoon 3 on PC. :-(
its been how many years now and this song STILL slaps
This song will have a space in my head until I die
cant believe they sampled my bloody valentine when you sleep
So beautiful, best zoo game ever, even educates us, not just entertain us
*Antelope 1 is unhappy*
Connects the lion cage to the antelope cage
Damn my childhood memories...... I'm literally crying...
Nile Crocodile 3 is sick!
I have a core memory of my Mom buying this for me on Christmas and installing it on our old Windows XP computer. Building my dream zoos and her always checking on the progress I made with it. She passed a few years ago, but every time I hear this I think of her and that memory.
Literally came here just to refresh the nostalgia. This song still hits, even as a 29 year old 🥲.
I used to love feeding the misbehaving guests to the animals. Good times.
I played the demo on my Pentium III computer with Windows XP when I was a kid. Now years later, when I listen to the menu music, I am emotional. 😢
Oh, the sweet memories on Windows XP. Brings me back. *cries*
Amazing game series and theme to go with it.
Yeeeah.
Sounds better than our modern day music
I miss being able to let loose the animals and let them hunt each other and watch the animals just roam without people.
This just cured my depression
The first second I heard this, it brought like 1000 memories back
I'm listening to this while playing the game?Am I strange?
nope
Levino Presents Good

OMG!! I used to LOVE this game. I know the whole song from start to finish. Well, I know what I'm going to do right now.
It's my Childhood ❤
It seems to be going for a Stewart Copeland / Spyro feel to it.
I love this game but I have no PC
I am watching in youtube do that I can relieve nostalgia 🥺
I had a copy of this. THIS Definetly brought back so many memories AS A; kid.
I still have mine, all discs. But this theme is the best one.
OMGG I WANT EM ALL
My childhood I’m crying 😭
Zoo Tycoon 2 is my favorite in the franchise. I could honestly spend hours just watching the lions in their exhibit.
NOSTALGIA
Oh my god my brother and I used to play this all the time! How time flies 😭💙
the nostalgia is unreal
When you finally have a 5 star zoo, but the notifications are constantly going off about animals being thirsty hungry and stuff
