+Nathan Strum Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 For Ice Hockey, instead of just going for the patch, you might see if you can beat some of the scores in the High Score Club. (Admittedly, those were on Game 3. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually a release candidate... if there aren't any bugs found we're finally done (after 20+ months of development! ? ). Special thanks to: @Nathan Strum for the graphics, game play suggestions, testing, and impending artwork for the box, label and manual (the sneak preview looks amazing! ) @Thomas Jentzsch for the sound fx and music data and the sound driver code so we could use the original sounds originally developed by Robert Vieira for the 1984 WIP that was never complete. Lee @keebz Kebler for additional music, including the lion theme and the "no bonus" tune, plus extensive game testing and additional suggestions. James and the crew @ZeroPage Homebrew for featuring Zoo Keeper on their Twitch stream show and all the helpful feedback from their testing! Lastly, thank you to all the Atari Age members that have downloaded the demos and provided suggestions on improvements, found bugs, etc. It's very much appreciated! Thanks!

It's been a long road and we're anxious to get the game in people's hands... hopefully soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Without further ado, here's the Zoo Keeper box, front and back, designed by Nathan Strum. I think this really came out great, and does a wonderful job of conveying the frenetic nature of the game!
