Aspyr Media, Inc. announced this morning Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection (Mac) has begun shipping to retail outlets across North America. Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection contains the original Zoo Tycoon game, along with the Dinosaur Digs and Marine Mania expansion packs.

In Zoo Tycoon, you'll be challenged to build the most healthy and vibrant zoo possible. With an easy to learn interface, you can begin planning your strategy and building your ultimate zoo the moment you start the game. Which is a good thing since you'll need to build, manage, and maintain a zoo with over 200 animals, exhibits, and zoo materials. Plan wisely, because your success depends on your ability to keep the animals happy!

In Zoo Tycoon: Marine Mania, you'll make a huge splash by adding killer whales, manta rays, and other exciting marine animals to your existing zoo. Have a whale of a time as you combine land, marine, and prehistoric animals to build the wildest, most exciting zoo ever! Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection also includes the Dinosaur Digs expansion pack, which allows you to evolve your zoo with more than 20 prehistoric beasts, 100 building materials, and 6 challenging scenarios.

This Zoo Tycoon bundle is rated "E" for "Everyone" by the ESRB and is available at Aspyr for $49.99.

Jason's Comments: I haven't been to a zoo in years. I like the monkeys and penguins myself. My zoo would be filled with monkeys and penguins.
