5.0 out of 5 stars Compulsive Breeding!, August 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Aquazone Deluxe (CD-ROM)

I never expected a game to be this time-consuming, but the feeding and breeding demands of virtual fish can actually keep you glued to your monitor screen till the early hours of the morning. (-A warning to anyone trying to write serious dissertations and stuff!) You can get really uptight about the odd fish "dying", and over the moon when neon tetras actually manage to breed. My only serious criticism is the failure of distributors to provide the much advertised "Guppies Add-0n pack" and the promised Goldfish version. How much longer must we wait?

5.0 out of 5 stars Aquazone Deluxe II with Guppies, October 21, 2001

This is one of the best games I have ever purchased. It was a bit hard at first...trying to learn how to care for my fish, and it is time consuming (you can set your aquarium speed to 0 if you need a break), but definitely well worth owning. Many people are disappointed with the program because the fish can die...and supposedly they can't be gotten back. This isn't true, however. When I first got the program LOTS of my fish died, and I figured out how to get them back. One of the best features is the Accessory Maker. I love creating my own accessories. It gives my tanks a personal touch. Thanks for reading my review, and have fun raising many generations of fish!

One warning for all Mac users: on the version I have, you have to switch to 256 colors to play. That makes it very difficult to leave the aquarium running while doing other things. The graphics are okay, not as crisp or as stunning as I had hoped. And there is no screen saver mode, which really would be the ultimate for this game. All in all, you have to plan to play it (reset your screen) and then when you get in it, there's really nothing to do but stare at the screen, maybe feed the fish, and then it's boring. I love aquariums and even I wasn't captivated by this game. If you have an old, unused Mac sitting around, you might consider just running this game on it 24/7. That might work...
