Experienced 'Animal Managers' need only apply
BASINGSTOKE, England (July 10th, 2003) - KOCH MEDIA is excited to announce the signing of a brand new management game, which will put the 'roar' into the 'Tycoon' genre. WILDLIFE PARK invites players to build the zoo of the future, allowing them to be as creative as they please, while keeping both the animals and visitors happy. The game has been developed in cooperation with animal care specialists and simulates the complete ecosystem and infrastructure of a modern outdoor animal park.
WILDLIFE PARK uses sophisticated life simulation procedures based on a complex requirement system in order to simulate 45 different species of mammals, reptiles, birds and marine creatures. The animals will only be happy if their enclosures are equipped with everything they need to satisfy their requirements in terms of food, movement and socialization. Otherwise they will become aggressive and endanger the safety of the park and its visitors.
You are about to embark on a career as a manager of a zoological park, where you will have to handle development projects, breeding programs and crisis management jobs all over the world. Just treat the creatures entrusted to you with care and provide them with an environment as natural to them as possible, then you will have a free hand to do as you please.
Published by and distributed in the UK by KOCH Media, WILDLIFE PARK is available on Windows PC, priced at £29.99.
