SteamPower 1830 is certainly a game that trains, railways and in essence, logistics enthusiasts will really enjoy playing. Who knows? You might have just found your calling as a railway magnate!
Zoo Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon is a zoo simulation game where you can build and decorate your very own virtual zoo and fill it with a wide variety of common and exotic animals, be it a herbivore, an omnivore or a carnivore. You'll also need to provide these animals with the proper enclosure, hire zookeepers to tend to their needs, and build facilities for the zoo's visitors so they'd have a great time there, and hence, spend more cash. There are plenty of ways for you to really customize your zoo, from the paths you build and the benches you place. You can even control how much to charge your visitors... this is after all, a real tycoon game.If you adore animals of all shapes and sizes, and you happen to enjoy playing tycoon games, you'll want to take a look at Zoo Tycoon. The game's not THAT old yet so its graphics is still pretty bearable, but if you got the Xbox version, you'll be super delighted at the visual upgrade that Microsoft has added to the game.
