Summary: Alittle Disappointed
Review: I am diabled and virtually a shut in, so this game was perfect for me as it takes time and knowledge to keep the fish alive and breeding. I was really enjoying these aquariums! But when I decided that I wanted to add fish, plants, medications, backgrounds,etc., I went to www.aquazone.com (which is where these items are obtained). I ordered $70 worth of items then was unable to download and unzip them. The unzipping prosess is very complex,and I never received my items. Furthermore,my money was not refunded. Beware - this game is very fun but can become very costly.

Summary: high hopes go belly up
Review: I bought this game with the idea that it would be just a regalur fishtank on the computer.I love sim games so I was very excited to aquire this.At first it was great, I had some beautiful fish and they were living nicley I read the care guides and fed them at the right times but by the third day some of them became sick.I tried to care for them approprietly but they all died in about two hours. I was sad and unhappy naturally, so I went to get more fish and there werent as many fish as befor and eventually I used up all the fish.So I was confused why I didnt get anymore fish so I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it so I had all my fish back.Then I was looking through the box and found a paper that had the website address on it. I went to the site and found out after all your fish die you are supposed to buy more fish at inflated prices.I just returned the game for my money back. You see the game is just the initial price, it will cost you a lot more in the long run. Thanks for reading my review!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Don't set your hopes too high...
Review: I don't know about Aquazone with a guppy pack, but this one was kind of boring. All you do is build an aquarium, stick some plants, rocks, and fish in it and wait for the fish to die or get sick so you can take care of them. I guess if you are interested in fish or you would like to get an aquarium it would be a good product because you learn about what you have to do to keep your fish healthy. You also learn responsibility because if you don't take care of the fish, they will get sick, and eventually die. It is an okay computer game that is educational too.

Summary: I love Aquazone
Review: I have had Aquazone deluxe for 6 months now and it is the best thing my husband ever bought me. He might disagree when I get upset if a fish dies. To me the fish are real and I have named them after friends and relatives. I have had several sets of babies and sucessfully raised them. At the moment I am trying desperately to acquire a copy of the Guppy add-on CDRom. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. All local suppliers don't know what I am talking about. Still, I shall carry on with my search.

Summary: Compulsive Breeding!
Review: 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?

Summary: JUST SWIMMING!
Review: Neat pets with a little fuss and no mess. You also do not have to be a computer game addict for you to be successful. This program makes a perfect fun program to add to your enjoyment of using your computer.For the small price, you get hours and hours of entertainment. I kept my second fish tank going for over two years with only a few days of panic of what to do. Because of not reading the instructions in full before starting, on my first tank, I did not realize the setting on the tank was at a default of one hour which was equal to one day. By the time I checked hours later that night all my fish in that tank were dead! I was sick! Be careful at first. I caught on quickly on how to build tanks, and putting different fish together. I rarely had sick fish, but I learned to cure their sicknesses. And I was thrilled in my original Aquazone program to find a surprise happening. You might too! I truly grieved my deceased fish, and became attached for those alive. This was a program which I did not so much think of as a game but, and interactive screen saver. These were my pet fish. I even had friends asking how my fish were doing. When not using my computer I leave the tank on. The sound is relaxing, and the colors are beautiful. And I swear the fish at times know you are watching and do little movements to entertain. The Aquazone web site offers additions to your tank. And searching the Internet will give you sites devoted to people who have made using Aquazone a fine science. What you could do with this program if you wanted to devote that much time is just amazing! I would recommend this program to anyone but especially those who are not true game players, and to those who would like to have use of a successful, and user friendly program. I have had many real fish tanks, and have breed a few types of fish. I have also visited and purchased large quantities of fish for local pet stores. I found this program easy to use, colorful, very life like, and still very entertaining. If you have never had real fish, this is a perfect way to get the feel and look of the real thing.

Summary: lovely, but annoying
Review: 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...

Summary: Aquazone Deluxe II with Guppies
Review: 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!
