[1.1] Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a beautiful Saturday, I was at a friend of me (Gerder) and he told me 
he played a demo of Zoo Tycoon and that the game rocked! Well... He also 
liked Skateboard Park Tycoon, but I didn't really like it (Rollercoaster 
Tycoon was much more fun). So he asked me if I did want to see the demo. 
"Nah... I don't want to see it" I told him. So he said to me "Well; 
anyway, I'm going to dl it with Kazaa"... "Suit yourself" was my reply. 
So when he finished dl-ing the game (it took him 30 minutes), he told me 
he did want to check it out. Np! So he began to play and I thought "Wow! 
This game is great... I want to have it and write a guide for it" :D
I searched the Internet (well; I looked on www.neoseeker.com and on
www.gamefaqs.com), but I didn't find any guide for Zoo Tycoon :D So what 
does that mean for me? That I write one! I mean, I was the first one to 
release a crack for Skateboard Park Tycoon, so why not being the first to 
write a guide for Zoo Tycoon?
Zoo Tycoon isn't official released, so I had to dl it with Kazaa. I 
didn't have cable (and I still don'); I have a 128.8 kb-modem ;) The dl 
was about 140 MB. I began the dl on 14:00 PM, and it was finished around 
22:30 PM :D So it took me 8,5 hours to dl it! Not that I didn't like it... 
I had enough time to do things I normally didn't do. I logged in on IRC 
(the last time was about 3 months ago), I tried to pick up a girl from 
my class ;), I searched some neat shit, I looked for a guide for Zoo 
Tycoon ;) etc.
So here's my guide for Zoo Tycoon. I hope you like it and otherwise you 
should burn in hell ;)

I've the game for just 3 days and I don't know everything about the game.
It took me about 1 month to fully understand Rollercoaster Tycoon, so
this guide will grow in size fast! :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[1.2] About Zoo Tycoon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can't tell me you did never hear of a Tycoon-game; Railroad Tycoon,
Rollercoaster Tycoon, Skateboard Park Tycoon, Air Tycoon... So here's Zoo
Tycoon. I don't really think I have to explain it; just build a zoo and be
happy. There's nothing more to say ;)

I don't know for sure when Microsoft is going to release Zoo Tycoon. But
if you select "About" on the option-screen, you'll the following
copyright shit "Copyright Microsoft 2001-2002" (or something like this), 
so I guess they're going to release the game somewhere in 2002. You
can dl the demo of Zoo Tycoon on the site of Microsoft.

To install the game, you should first dl it (I used Kazaa). When the dl
is finished, unpack the game somewhere in a root of a drive (i.e. c:).
The game will unpack the game in c:\ZooTycoon. Now just run zoo.exe to
play the game. The game doesn't seem to save your game BTW :( I'm going
to create a trainer for this game or something to complete the 
scenario's you completed (or didn't).

[1.6] Credits
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gerder - Without this friend, I wouldn't know about Zoo Tycoon. Well; not
 before someone else wrote a guide for it ;) Thanks to him, I'm the first
 one to write a guide for this game (both on GameFaqs and on NeoSeeker).
 (O BTW Gerder, I scored 90% on your test :D)
My daddy - Because my parents don't like it when I buy illegal CD's, I
 had to dl that 140 MB. My daddy told me I could dl it, so... some credits
 to my daddy plz ;)
GameFaqs.com - They wrote a kewl manual on writing FAQ's, and I used that
 manual for this guide; no foul language, 74 characters-a-line, detailed,
 copyright-information etc. Just check www.gamefaqs.com and search for
 the manual.

[2] Scenario's
==========================================================================

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.1] Smallsville Zoo 1 (Beginner)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information: The town of Smallsville has been given a large monetary 
 donation to start a new zoo. You have been hired to manage the 
 construction and day-to-day operations. The first task is to build an
 exhibit, purchase a Bengal tiger, and hire a zookeeper to care for the
 new animal.

 Remember, habitat fencing must enclose an exhibit. Also note the
 Bengal tiger is from the tropical rainforests of India. Find trees which
 are native to the tropical rainforest and place these in the exhibit. If
 you need more information, select the "info" button on the adopt animal
 panel while the Bengal tiger icon is selected.

Mission: * Adopt 1 Bengal tiger
         * Hire 1 Zookeeper

How: Alright. This scenario is easy, but I'm going to explain how to
 make the Bengal tiger happy. If the animals in your zoo aren't happy,
 your guests aren't happy! When you see someone walking on the street
 who's crying, you won't laugh... no... you are going to feel sad too 
 (I don't say you'll do this, it's just an example).

 First, you should make a fence. Select something tropical (no glass). 
 Create a pretty big exhibit, like 6x6 tiles (it's just for one Bengal 
 tiger remember). Please note that you'll create an entrance as soon 
 as you finished the exhibit.

 You can now adopt the Bengal tiger. Place him inside the exhibit. Now
 comes the hard part; making your animal happy... It's really hard to
 do so, especially in the beginning.

 The first step your should take to make your animal happy is to look
 where the animal's from. A Bengal tiger lives in a tropical climate,
 so an exhibit with snow and ice won't be a smart idea! ;) The Bengal
 tiger likes Dirt, Shallow water, Forest ground and Grass. I can't 
 really tell you where to place everything. Just look at your animal.
 If you animal is happy ':)', he likes the stuff you placed. If the
 animal isn't happy ':(', he don't likes the stuff you placed, or
 you placed too much of that stuff (i.e. don't place too much dirt).

 Ofcourse, your tiger also wants other things than ground ;) He wants
 plants, trees and bushes. The Bengal tiger likes Rainforest trees,
 so place about 4 trees in his exhibit.

 Now it's time to select your tiger. Close the screen with the ground,
 plants etc. and press the LMB (Left mouse Button) on your tiger. A
 new screen will appear with information about your tiger. Somewhere
 in this screen, you'll see a button with a zookeeper on it. Press this
 button to get some advice from a professional zookeeper. Maybe you
 placed way too much dirt, or you placed no shallow water. Whatever you
 did wrong, change it and keep trying until your tiger is happy... If
 your exhibit is good enough for the Bengal tiger, the screen will say
 "This exhibit is well suited for Bengal tiger 1".

 It'll get pretty frustrating when you can't make your tiger happy. 
 You'll learn how to make him happy later in the game (keep practicing!), 
 so don't think you're a loser (even if you are one). Just hire a 
 zookeeper to complete the first scenario!

Outro: Great job! You now understand the basics of building exhibits and
 hiring staff.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.2] Smallsville Zoo 2 (Beginner)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information: Now that you've learned the basics of adopting animals and
 building exhibits, it's time to turn your attention to the guests. In Zoo
 Tycoon, it's important to balance the happiness of the animals with the
 happiness of the guests. Buying lots of exotic animals won't matter if 
 the guest can't buy any food.

 Buy a burger stand, a drink stand, and a family bathroom. You can place
 the buildings wherever you like, but it will be more effective if they 
 are near each other. That way guests can spend less time traveling to the
 buildings and more time watching the animals.

 When guest buy food, they generate trash. Buy and place 3 trashcans.

 Guests need placed to rest and eat. Buy and place 4 picnic tables and 4
 benches. Remember, the closer you place these items to the food 
 buildings, the more effective the will be.

Mission: * Purchase 1 Burger Stand
         * Purchase 1 Drink Stand
         * Purchase 1 Family Restroom
         * Purchase 3 Trash Cans
         * Purchase 4 Picnic Tables
         * Purchase 4 Large Benches

How: First, take a look at the Bengal tiger. This way you should build
 exhibits. I know I didn't mention the cave and bushes, but otherwise it
 was a little too much ;) So next time, also build other things your 
 animal likes.

 This scenario is very easy; just build what you should build and you're 
 good to go!

 Build the Burger stand, Drink stand and Family restroom somewhere close
 to the tiger. 

 After that, build the 3 trash cans, 4 picnic tables and 4 large benches
 and you've finished the second scenario ;)

Outro: Congratulations, The Smallsville Zoo is off and running. The tiger 
 is drawing in new guests and the new buildings satisfy the guests basic 
 needs. There is still much to learn, but this zoo is off to a great 
 start.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.3] Smallsville Zoo 3 (Beginner)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information: The Smallsville Zoo is off to a great start. Now is the time
 to think about expanding the zoo by adding more animals and attractions.
 Guests will quickly become bored and leave the zoo if there are not 
 enough things to see and do.

 Animals are the main attraction for the zoo. Adopt and build exhibits for
 a gazelle, zebra, giraffe and chimpanzee. Try putting the gazelle and
 zebra in the same exhibit. The animals like to be housed together and
 the guests like seeing multiple animals in one exhibit.
 Make sure the animals live in an exhibit they like because you'll have
 to keep the animals' happiness above a certain point to be successful. If
 you need more information about these animals, select the "info" button
 on the adopt animal panel with the animal icon selected.

 Some buildings satisfy the basic needs of the guest - food stands,
 bathrooms, etc. Some buildings provide entertainment. Purchase an 
 elephant ride. Kids will love it. You should also purchase a gift shop
 to increase your cash flow. Guests also like to view animals in a
 pleasing environment. Try and spice up the zoo by adding an elephant
 fountain, and some topiary bushes.

Mission: * Months to complete: 4
         * Adopt 1 Thomson's Gazelle
         * Adopt 1 Plain Zebra
         * Adopt 1 Giraffe
         * Adopt 1 Chimpanzee
         * Have animal rating of 60
         * Purchase 1 Elephant Ride
         * Purchase 1 Gift Shop
         * Purchase 1 Elephant Fountain
         * Purchase 1 Giraffe Topiary
         * Purchase 1 Elephant Topiary

How: The first scenario with a time limit. It doesn't matter! You can
 finish this scenario within 2 months. In the other 2 months, I 
 played Chuchu Rocket on my Dreamcast ;)

 First, build a exhibit and adopt a Thomson's Gazelle and a Plain
 Zebra. Place the 2 animals in the same exhibit. Use the zookeeper's
 information to check what the animals like. Create a perfect exhibit
 for the animals. If you want to have very happy animals, adopt from 
 every animal 2 more (for the moment only 2 Gazelles and 2 Zebra's).

 After that, build an exhibit for the Giraffe. When the Giraffe(s)
 is/are happy, create an exhibit for the Chimpanzee. When the
 Chimpanzee(s) is/are happy, build the other things you must build to
 complete the scenario; Elephant Ride, Gift Shop, Elephant Fountain,
 Giraffe Topiary and Elephant Topiary. Please note that the
 topiaries can be found in the same screen where you plant bushes and
 trees with.

Outro: Great job! The Smallsville Zoo continues to grow and expand. The
 response from the community is overwhelmingly positive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.4] Smallsville Zoo 4 (Beginner)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information: The National Association of Zoos has recognized the 
 Smallsville Zoo as the Best New Zoo in the Country. Continue your great
 work by increasing zoo admissions. Also focus on maintaining the
 happiness of the guests and animals.

 If the trash starts to pile up, hire a maintenance worker to keep the
 zoo clean. Also consider hiring a tour guide. They will walk from 
 exhibit to exhibit lecturing the guests about the various animals.

 More animals will increase admissions, just make sure you have enough
 zookeepers to satisfy their needs.

Mission: * Months to complete: 12
         * Have 100 guests in the zoo
         * Have a zoo rating of 50
         * Have a guest rating of 70
         * Have an animal rating of 60
         * Have at least 10 different species

How: Well... if you finish this one, you aren't a beginner anymore ;)

 If you look good, you'll see some animals are escaped!!! Build a stronger
 fence for the Chimpansees and the Giraffes, then search the animals and
 place them back in their exhibit. I think this is just a bug in the
 BETA-version of the game.

 If you understand the things I taught you in the previous paragraphs, 
 you don't have problems with this scenario. Just keep building exhibits
 with animals and the ratings etc. will go up. A zoo with no animals, 
 won't attract guests, but if you have 10 different species, guests will
 take a look at your zoo. So: the more species, the more guests, the 
 higher the rating. After 12 months, the scenario is finished. Have phun!

 If you get any problems with money, try to sell some animals...

Outro: The Smallsville Zoo has become to represent all that is good about
 zoos. Your ability to master the basics of managing and running a zoo
 will increase your career options.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.5] Revitalize Burkitsville Zoo (Intermediate)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information: The Burkitsville Zoo has been badly managed for the last
 few years. The Narional Association of Zoos has threatened to close
 down the zoo because of the substandard living conditions for the
 animals. The town's mayor has appointed you the new Zoo Director with the
 mandate to return the Zoo to its once former vibrancy.

 Your first step should be to repair and upgrade the existing animal
 exhibits. After that, focus on increasing guest enjoyment by providing
 much needed services and attractions. Watch your spending, though if
 you get in real trouble, donations may be available.

Mission: * Month to complete: 12
         * Have 100 guests in the zoo
         * Have a zoo rating of 50
         * Have an animal rating of 50
         * Have at least 8 different species

How: Coming up soon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.6] Note
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other scenario's are coming up soon (I think within a week), but
because I want to be the first one to release a guide/FAQ for Zoo Tycoon,
I released this file in this state. The next version will be more 
detailed and bigger!

[4] Bugs and glitches
==========================================================================

Note: I test all The bugs and glitches you'll find here. If you
have any bugs or glitches, just mail me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4.1] Animal is stuck
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw this bug when I was at Gerder's place (read the credits and intro).
He built a exhibit with hippos and so far there was no problem. But
suddenly, a hippo couldn't move anymore! He tried to moved up and down, 
but he didn't move! The only solution for this bug seems to sell the
animal and buy it again. Moving the animal may also help, but we didn't
try this. As long as the animal is stuck, it can't eat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4.2] Animal is escaped
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a pretty irritating bug. No matter what kind of fence you build,
the animals will escape!!! You can see this in the fourth scenario (also
see chapter 2).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[4.3] Animal can't die
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I consider it as a bug ;) If a animal
doesn't get food, isn't happy, is sick and doesn't like it exhibit, irl
it will die. Well; in Zoo Tycoon it won't die :| Animals can't seem to
die...
