Catch'em	Global Software	1992	Jeff the Zookeeper isn't too good at his job (but then, when was a person with a backwards baseball cap ever good at anything (Lleyton Hewitt notwithstanding)). Hordes of monkeys have escaped from the zoo, and he must return them, alive. He does this by tempting them with bananas, of which he has a finite supply, before hitting them with a baseball bat to stun them (logically, tranquillizer darts would make more sense, but this way the game involves getting close to the monkeys, making things tougher), before boxing them up (again, the number of boxes is limited) to return safely to the zoo. The levels on which this must be done consist of a number of platforms, ladders, ledges and the like, and are played against a time limit. Falls stun Jeff, potentially allowing the monkeys time to escape, or drop banana skins to disrupt him.* [23]* [97]* [22]* [52]*** [37]	Amiga

Fun Zoo	Magnavox	1972	[media=youtube]1WsoQSOXYD8[/media]*One of the six Odyssey add-on games released in 1972, Fun Zoo is an educational game targeted at pre-school children. It works with game card #2 originally supplied with the system. The Zoo Keeper picks up one of the 28 included cards and names the animal or object it depicts. The players now need to navigate the player spot along the yellow paths to the cage containing the animal or object the Zoo Keeper named, in order to win that card. Straying from the path and lighting a wrong cage means losing one of the previously earned cards.*One of the 17 games packaged with the Odyssey [Retro-Maniac]	Odyssey

Dinosaurs will die after a while if either is missing for too long. Possibly a factor with the tourists as well, but only to keep them at the park longer. [b]npc anxiety/fear[/b] — seen if a dinosaur breaks free from their containment area (this affects the tourists) or if two different dinosaurs (specifically a carnivore and herbivore or large carnivore with smaller carnivore) are forced to be too close to each other. The dinosaurs may try to avoid the carnivore so much that they can't stave their hunger and eventually starve to death unless the carnivore ends up killing them (is that even possible here? didn't witness it, but hypothetically it could happen). To prevent this, you can either provide separate holding areas for the dinos or large enough single area for them to prowl so they can keep their distance naturally. The latter is obviously much harder set up and maintain, but the game does provide sufficient mechanisms to attempt it.*Latest version: retail.	Windows

Jurassic Park: The Game	Telltale Games	2011	Depicted dinosaurs: * Triceratops * Tyrannosaurus Rex * Troodon (Troodontidae) * Tylosaurus (identified as only Mosasaur) * Dilophosaurus * Velociraptor * Parasaurolophus * Herrerasaurus * Pteranodon (only seen flying about, never interacted with) * Compy (Compsognathus) Few others are seen depicted as paintings or drawings in maps or such, but not live ones.**Jurassic Park: The Game begins where the Barbasol can left off: The dinosaur embryos that Dennis Nedry attempted to smuggle from the park in the faux Barbasol can remain missing. A mysterious rival corporation brings in Nima, a professional smuggler with intimate knowledge of the park’s island setting, to retrieve the embryos. When InGen learns of staff stranded on the island after the park’s collapse, they hire a group of mercenaries to launch a rescue operation. The team arrives amidst the chaos of dinosaurs running rampant, and begins to round up survivors committed to protecting the dinosaurs they created. As this group grows, it soon becomes clear that individuals have competing agendas – and the conflict between the humans becomes as dangerous as the rampant dinosaur threats on the island. The group must ultimately survive confrontations with T-Rex, Velociraptors and other dinosaurs in spectacular showdowns as they look for a way out. Along the way, a new mysterious nocturnal dinosaur threat emerges, stalking the group as they work their way across the island in hopes of escape. Key features: An episodic adventure in five parts * Set during the events of the first film. * Story unfolds through a Steven Spielberg-inspired cinematic adventure crafted to stir mystery and tension while building to exciting climactic peaks. * Survive confrontations with T-Rex, Velociraptors and other dinosaurs.

Based on Raven Software's in-house Vampire engine, Take No Prisoners was developed concurrently with MageSlayer from July 1996 - August 1997 and was released by Red Orb Entertainment, a division of Broderbund Software. Originally called RIOT (and subsequently Outrage), Take No Prisoners pioneered a new variation of top-down gameplay made popular by the arcade classic Gauntlet by setting the character at the bottom of the screen and exploring the world from a 2 ½D view. This innovation was hailed as a "fresh new perspective" and a "breath of fresh air" in the action gaming genre. Take No Prisoners shipped with 30 single-player levels, 22 different enemies, 21 weapons, 22 combat items, 3 usable vehicles and a variety of multiplayer game modes including deathmatch, capture the flag, arsenal and assassin. In addition, Take No Prisoners was one of the first games to hit the market that took full advantage of 3-D hardware acceleration and colored lighting. [Raven]	Windows

Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection	Microsoft Game Studios (Asobo Studio;Frontier Developments)	2017	Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection is a re-release of the 2013 title Zoo Tycoon. This re-release has had a lot of new content added and several gameplay features changed. The Ultimate Animal Collection contains almost 200 animal species to adopt, while the original version contained around 110. These new creatures are mainly from South America and Australia, two continents not covered before. The game adds 10 new campaign levels and a new challenge zoo. The main gameplay change is that the Zoo Limit from the original version has been removed. So players can build as much as the surface of the zoo provides. The game has been optimised for the Xbox One X, featuring 4K Ultra HD visuals and HDR support. Unlike the previous Xbox One game, this game can also be played on Windows 10.	Windows
