Long story short, I learned how to play chess on this game, I've been DYING to play more chess with this game, it took me YEARS To realize the opening was a big Elvis Presley joke, and if I get this back I can challenge my family in this game. I miss it.
This is the game that taught me how to play chess! I don't have my original disc anymore (after losing it in a flood), and even if I did I don't think I'd be able to get it to run on anything. I've struggled to even find if someone had created a ROM I could try to manipulate into playing the game through some sort of emulator. It's truly a classic, and one that should have never been lost to time in the first place.
Its a charming, beginner friendly version of Chess and It has scooby-doo style animations for your attacks. Its really difficult to get running on windows as it expects a floppy drive for some reason and has random crashes.

One of my first games that I owned as my game. Not my dad's, mine. Loved it. Kids are starting to get into Chess, and they already love Legos. This is a no brainer for me.

I played this game on my dad's old computer a ton when I was a kid. It was predominantly how I learned to play chess. I still wasn't very good at it, but I had fun playing Chess with LEGO characters. I loved listening to that Elvis-sounding King character.

Zoo Tycoon 2
Zoo Tycoon 2Zoo Tycoon 2 is the sequel to Zoo Tycoon. The sequel updates the graphics, but keeps much of the original gameplay the same. You start with an open field and must build it up into a zoo. Create exhibits and populate them with animals. Build amenities and concession stands to keep visitors happy in between exhibits. Happy visitors will donate more money to your zoo so you can make it better. However, you have much more freedom in exhibit creation. You don't even need fences; a moat or ditch will suffice, as this technique is popular at real high profile zoos. There are also more animals and attractions to place in your zoo, and animal habitats look as realistic as the cartoony graphics style will allow.
