    This Let's Play continues to be wonderful. I weep bitterly for the original Chompy, but I do have high hopes for his Rabies infested cousins. I just can't wait until you get an Allosaurus/Spinosaurus/Tyrannosaurus Rex/Carcharodontosaurus and have to deal with it escaping it's cage and supplementing it's bovine diet with people.

    Man, your let's play is awesome and convinced me to try this game. I did alright, until a twister hit my island. I was like "meh, guess I might have to go in a helicopter in case the fences break down. No big"

    The music starts to get more hectic. Then suddenly, my inbox is filled with critical messages as all my attractions start to fall apart. The security guy is screaming at me to fix it and I manage to repair one before the first guy dies. The screen starts to flash as casualty after casualty is reported. In a matter of seconds I have ten people dead, -50 000 in funds and 14 red messages.

    After which the game helpfully hints that in case of danger I might want to put the park in emergency mode. Maybe tutorials aint such a bad idea.

    Hahaha, it sounds like your Park turned out like the movie.

    Also, I totally didn't know there was severe weather like Tornados....

    I'm disappointed with the eatability of my park guests in this. I used the 'delete all fences' "cheat", but that only resulted in 1 or 2 deaths...I even bred 7 raptors in order to start the park massacre properly. My T-Rex ate one person and then wandered off, and my raptors just got chased around by a Triceratops.

    Maybe I need to anger my dinosaurs ...taunting them, knocking on their fences, singing off-key?

    The LP is good though, more interesting than my park. Henceforth, all of my dinosaurs shall be named Chompy - even the ones that do not properly chomp.

    Wait... what? Dinosaurs can't get rabies... shit, my mind doesn't even want to think of a hungry-as-fuck dinosaur with rabies, that's damn scary. Yay for cold-blooded animals!

    I shall call him…. CHOMPY 2.0!
    Well, the biggest, hungriest, angriest dinosaurs in my park all have rabies. I really don’t know what happens if I don’t cure them in time, but just in case I better make a backup. One more Ceratosaur coming up!
    10sick-08.jpg

    Shortly after completing this backup dino, I get the best message yet…
    11new-01.jpg

    One Allosaurus coming up!
    11new-04.jpg

    While I’m waiting, I move the new Ceratosaur into the only empty pen I have, the Allosaur pen. I really don’t want to put him into the sick Dino pen, and he doesn’t play well with the little ones (I really was tempted, but I need SOME dinosaurs to keep my park going…)
    11new-03.jpg

    I’m still a month away from getting a rabies cure, I hope they survive.
    11new-02.jpg

    My dig team got word of the troubles in the park, and I guess they were feeling guilty for slacking off this whole time, so they sent me a little present of silver.
    11new-05.jpg

    My somber mood didn’t last very long though! I PRESENT TO YOU – CHOMPY 2.0!
    12chompy2-01.jpg
    Running right out of the gates!

    But where is he going to? He seems to be pretty determined… he’s heading right towards the pack of Dryosaurus…
    12chompy2-02.jpg

    Oh god Chompy!
    12chompy2-03.jpg

    THAT POOR DINOSAUR!
    12chompy2-04.jpg

    Well… make sure you chew it before you swallow…
    12chompy2-05.jpg

    12chompy2-06.jpg
    Or not… (At least he earned his name…)

    I better get him out of there before he eats me out of business...

    Welcome to your new home!
    12chompy2-07.jpg

    I hope you get along with your roommate.
    12chompy2-08.jpg

    AWww… Chompy 2.0 wants out!
    12chompy2-09.jpg

    Now for a little administration update.

    Good news! The Board of Directors is happy with my work.
    13dude-01.jpg

    Bad news! Our dig site has dried up.
    SimJP-2008-03-09-10-22-51-8.jpg

    There has to be more places to find some Dino Bones around here…


    (sorry for the short update, expect more this weekend/monday.

    I think he still has just the one breeding pen, which is in with the Dryosaurus.

    So Chompy got a quick snack before Sharp could tranq him.

    Sharp, you could always sell the breeding pen and then build a new one in whatever area needs populating.

    It'll keep those unfortunate little dryosaur accidents at bay.

    Well, eventually I'll make a 'breeding zone', but for now I like the excitement.. haha

    I really didn't expect the Allosaur to run straight out of the Hatchery to kill a Dryosaur… It was pretty funny :P

    I've had this game for a long time. It's great, and it's a shame that there was never a sequel or expansion pack made, or even really attempted. There was so much more they could have done with this concept. When I get the time I might just dig out my copy and reinstall it.

    Make sure you try the challenge modes, if you haven't already. The missions have you either shooting photos or shooting dinosaurs, and the park challenges give you a certain situation or set of constraints to build a park in. They're fun to do, and for one of them, if you complete all the missions you will unlock Site B, which basically allows you to make as many dinos as you want with no money or 'ethical' constraints. You can't have any visitors, but its fun to make a bunch of dinosaurs and see what they do when you let them loose.

    Anyway, good luck with the park. I can't wait to see your next update.

    Don't listen to these fools and their plans of logic and prosperous breeding.

    Men like us, we live using the compass in our heart. And I think we both know the answer is to keep small creatures near all carnivorous dinosaur breeding zones.

    Chompy 2.0 must taste the flesh of his defeated dinosaur brethren!

    My roommate has some family staying with us, and she has taken over the spare room/computer room. Because of this I haven't had much access to my computer :(

    I'll do my best to get something this week (they leave on Wednesday), but if not then I'm home most of Friday/Saturday so I should be able to get something then.

    Keep bugging my if you want, it's somewhat flattering. haha :D
