I'm Addicted!

To Zoo Tycoon! Ever since I've started playing, I haven't been able to drag myself away from the keyboard. I was up until 4:00am Monday morning playing the darn thing. Help! The purpose is to have a successful zoo, obviously. You start out with several different "scenes" to choose from and then you design your zoo. You map out the displays, buy the animals, hire zookeepers and maintenance workers. You set the price of admission, and even place, restaurants, rides, souvenir stands, etc. around the park to help raise money. If your animals are unhappy, the guests are unhappy and then attendance will go down. So, you have to upkeep their displays. All the while, they get sick and also die of old age. If they're happy with their surroundings, they will breed and you can "sell" their offspring to raise more money. Some animals, like Panda's, etc. will get more money than others. It's driving me nuts! I'm no where near being a tycoon, but's it's still fun.
