Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

SimSafari lets you develop a balanced ecosystem by creating a park filled with diverse African plants and animals. Team up with a neighboring village and build a flourishing safari camp. You can place selected animals and plants in your park, as well as modify the terrain with a bulldozer and water tools. But remember, adding water costs money. And keep in mind that animals need food, so make sure grass-eating animals have grasses and shrubs. Carnivores will require other animals to eat for food. It's your job to make sure the delicate balance of nature is maintained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a great game. :), November 26, 2004

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: SimSafari (CD-ROM)

I got this game years ago and I still play it sometimes, which is saying a lot! The graphics are fantastic. The sound is great. Gameplay is relatively easy, but you can change settings and add disasters to make it more challenging. When it comes to keeping the campgrounds and the village in check, it is always easy. The safari itself is harder to manage because it's easy for the food web to get out of whack. Things seem to be going great until you notice that your elephants have killed like all of your trees and that one corner of your park is overrun by tons of monitor lizards or something. The game is also fun to watch. You can see the animals eating, chasing each other, and getting into herds. It's one of the best old sim games. It's cheap and its a fun diversion, so if you can get your hands on it, do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sim Safari was fun!, August 25, 2002

I really enjoy playing Sim Safari. While it's not an action game, it's relaxing to play.
The graphics are pretty nice ,and you actually learn a lot about predator-prey relationships and animal species.
Your mission: a successful safari park and camp. You design your own safari park and put animals, plants, rives, lakes, etc. in it. You also build an attractive camp for the villagers to stay in. Be sure to put in lots of attractions in so you'll have tourists filling it up. You'll also be doing a poor village a favor by hiring the needed amount of villagers to work in your camp. It's really a challenge to make sure that you balance the predator-prey relationships, put in enough plants to both feed herbivores and supply insects for insect-eaters, and be very successful. I currently have a very successful camp and 5-star safari park, so, no, it's not impossible to do. ^^
The missions are fun too and are quite a challenge. This game is worth every penny! I really recommend that you get this game! It's very relaxing and addicting.
