Mania Goes Gold
North African Theme Pack Now Available for Free Download
Microsoft Game Studios and Blue
Fang Games announced today that the next Zoo Tycoon expansion pack,
Marine Mania, has gone gold and
will be released in North America on October 17.
The
Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania expansion pack seamlessly integrates with
Zoo Tycoon, allowing players to immediately add aquatic creatures to
their ultimate zoos. In
addition to offering new creatures
ranging from the great white shark to the giant squid, Zoo
Tycoon: Marine Mania allows players to enhance their zoos with
customizable aquatic shows including a dolphin show. Zoo guests can
now enjoy attractions such as the shark tunnel and the dolphin ride,
which enables them to swim with the dolphins. Players can enrich
their marine exhibits with a variety of objects, including more than
20 new marine animals, five new animal toys and sunken treasure.
In other news, and to hold
over zealous Zoo Tycoon fans for the next few weeks until Marine
Mania actually appears on store
shelves, Microsoft and Blue Fang today made available
the North African Theme Pack
for Zoo Tycoon. The
Pack includes a plethora of
items such as the African wild
dog and snake pit, and
even monuments such as obelisks and sphinxes.
The Pack can be downloaded

requires players to either have Zoo
Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs or the 10.9 update to Zoo Tycoon, which can be
