This had the functionality of both expansion packs and bonus content.

Eventually, Microsoft bundled the expansion packs with Zoo Tycoon to create Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection as Hasbro had done for RollerCoaster Tycoon. Zoo Tycoon did well enough for Microsoft and Blue Fang Games to release two expansion packs: Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs, which added prehistoric-themed items and animals, and Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania, which allowed aquatic-themed items and animals. Zoo Tycoon was created in the wake of the success of the 1999 Hasbro Interactive game RollerCoaster Tycoon, which sold well for many years.

It was followed by two expansion packs, Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs and Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania, which were released in 2002, as well as a sequel, Zoo Tycoon 2, released in 2004. Although first released for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh in 2001, it was ported to the Nintendo DS in 2005. Zoo Tycoon 2 is rather lackluster with no expansions (only 30 animals), so Id say they are a must have, particularly the endangered and African expansions, and marine and extinct if youre interested.

It is a tycoon game in which the player must run a zoo and try to make a profit. Expansions wise: Zoo Tycoon (2001) is pretty decent on its own, expansions add marine and extinct animals. Zoo Tycoon is a business simulation developed by Blue Fang Games and released by Microsoft Game Studios.
