2 male lions can breed in the game. Inclusive and ahead of its times I would say.

I purchased this for nostalgia, as I had the game in my youth. This Steam "version" has the two narrators completely silent, even though I remember them talking. And there is also zero background music, which I also remember. from the physical CD. I have attempted to fix this in the menu options, but it doesn't work. The game itself is a fine strategy game, and all, but without the background music it's less...

This was a classic when I was child/teen. I am very happy it is added to steam. It may not be the best graphics, but it has full screen support and brings back nostalgia.

Plays well, and still a good bit of strategic fun after all these years.
