We all love that zoo tycoon game. I confess I'm the type that lets the tyrannosaurs loose on the guests. I play a lot of games on my pda. Maybe I shouldn't confess how much time I spend on them.

Originally Posted By bloona I like Zoo Tycoon as well, I like the graphics on the number 2 game, but prefere the game play on the first one.

Patrick likes Lara Croft (bet he would in real life too!!) Hes up in the bedroom now with Lara as I type actually!!! (on PS2!) Hey you'll be pleased to hear my Sims are now in love! Kieran (age 11)asked me what they meant when they say they wanted to make "Whoo Hoo" on there. Since Ive recently told him the facts of life! (took me 55 minutes!) I told him....hes not played it since!....lol
Originally Posted By jasmine7 Lol, bloona, that's hilarious! I haven't really played The Sims since my old PC crashed a couple of years ago. I was just so broken hearted to lose all that work. All my families (and their progeny in their own houses, lol), all the custom hair, makeup, houses & clothing I downloaded. . . **sigh** I might install it on my current PC, but WoW pretty much takes up my spare time any more anyway.

Originally Posted By bloona Oh yes, I have done that, its good on Xmas day too! My son always gets them fighting and things on Sims, then wonders why they walk around sad! I made a version of our family on it, and a version of my friends family, with all the same names etc, I was in fits of laughter on it though when every time my friend went to work, her husband came round to flirt with me...hahaha, she wasnt as amused when I told her Id spent all afternoon in the hot tub with him! odd that. (we are still talking about on the game by the way....not real life!!!!...I dont have a hot tub!...lmao)
Originally Posted By DVC_dad HAHAHA!!! Well if it WERE real life, I'd have to slap that guy on the back and give him a cigar and tell him he's the luckiest guy in the UK! ;-)

Poor christiemarsh88! I've done the same thing to her posts in other threads. I'd read it and think, "Man, I am really losing my mind because I totally do NOT remember posting that!" LOL! And I know I promised you I'd look at facebook and I will. Promise. Now back to topic... I haven't played much of anything in a long time. When I do it's mostly Burnout 3 or Spiderman with the kids. And Zoo Tycoon. I did just treat myself and bought Namco Museum the other day. I can't wait to play me some old skool Pac-Man and Galaga and stuff!
Originally Posted By DJ7K ^^ Burnout 3 is a car game right? >> Zoo Tycoon << Argh!! I can't wait til I get my pc cleaned up one of these days so I can get the Tycoons! All of them for the past several years I've heard about look worth trying. Rollercoaster, Railroad, Zoo. I miss Sim City too. I thought of one they should come out with, but probably shouldn't mention it here (the name for it). Wow, the last really cool game I played on a PC or a Mac I think was an Indiana Jones game. Something to do with Atlantis. Yup, here it is. The Fate of Atlantis for the Macintosh, 1992 (wound up playing it 5 or 6 years later my Senior Year in high school during my Comp. Apps. II class): <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/indiana-jones-and-the-fate-of-atlantis?cat=entertainment" target="_blank">http://www.answers.com/topic/i ndiana-jones-and-the-fate-of-atlantis?cat=entertainment</a> My teacher at the time, same one I had my Comp. Apps. I class during my Freshman year, was really cool. Very patient and helpful. Well, he let me use this strategy guide he got off the internet or someone gave him. It was for that very game. And man was it useful. There came this one area pretty deep in the game, where there were these 3 or more stones with each a different symbol on them. Sun, Moon and Water and something, I forget. Well, it took me forever to figure out it. You had to align the symbols or something. And there were like many different probabilities. Well, my teacher tried giving it a shot too, lol he couldn't get it either. I think he remembered doing it before and was trying to see if he could remember it right. I *think* it was on that guide the whole time or I figured it out somehow. The rest of the game was quite interesting though. You can select to walk, talk, what to say in a conversation, etc. The lines were funny too sometimes, especially dialogue with Sophia. Theres an earlier part of the game I think in Greece or South America, this older guy you have to get info from. You go up to his door, you have the option to ask another question: "Do you have a bathroom I can use?" The old man replies with his accent, "Yes and no. Now go away." But when you have Sophia go up to talk to him, he opens the door and says, "Why hello, beautiful." The air balloon was probably one of the most challenging parts. As was parking the submarine. When I finally finished the game, took me I don't know, matter of weeks or months? I only got to play it every other day for certain periods of time. I played Solitaire. Hadn't played it in awhile at the time, so I was glad to see it again. Everyone else in class was always playing Bolo. And playing against each other from every other computer station in the room. Another one was Warcraft I think. I know that was mentioned on here?
