Anyway from there I discovered Zoo Admin and had my introduction to modding.Īfter awhile, I moved (among other huge changes in my life) and forgot about ZT2 for awhile.

When I came across the design team Artifex, I had no idea what modding was, and for a split second I legit thought Arabian Nights was some weird BF expansion. The first thing I did when I got the game was open up the Okavango Delta map and make a mixed species exhibit with common and pygmy hippos. I had already played the original demo as well as the Endangered Species demo by that point, so I understood the basics of the game. I got the game for my tenth birthday, specifically Zookeeper Collection. It just feels good, if a little bittersweet, to talk about the nostalgia. I'm just curious to see what your best Zoo Tycoon 2 memories are.

I don't know what the future holds, so I don't want this to be seen as a sort of 'here at the end of all things/looking back before we go' type of thread. So, I thought I would start a topic where we can share all those good ol memories. The recent discussion regarding the longevity of the game and the community has me looking way back.
