Zoo Empire - PC (CD-ROM) newly tagged "Tycoon"

I gave it 4 star for fun, because my daughter likes it when she is enough long before it can play crashes. I gave it one star for the overall evaluation, because the field does not say that many popular chipsets not supported (including Intel, that is what I have) - see below a list of unsupported chipsets. The box is available for minimum video requirements: "NVIDIA GeForce2, ATI Radeon or 3D cards same grade." I bought a new Emachine T5026 with an Intel Pentium 4 processor, and I thought, my Intel chipset of a high enough grade would be the game.

This looks like it, a funny would be game, except it crashing, kept something on my computer say like ZE.exe must close. It would crash after less than three minutes, or up to 45 minutes. I searched everywhere for an answer, and finally found that many popular chipsets not supported [...]. Should not say in the box there.

The chipsets are not supported: all ATI cards before the Radeon 7200, all nVidia cards from the GeForce, 3DFx Voodoo (Voodoo 2, 3, 4 and 5), all Intel chipsets, all KYRO or power VR, all Matrox, all S3, all SiS and all Trident. It also says that inactive cards can lead to conflicts, and should be uninstalled.

It's really frustrating, buy a game and then find that it doesn't work with my new computer with a known chipset (Intel).
