Ueno Zoo

Ueno Zoo in DOS and CD-ROM Deluxe versions.

“Considered one of the best zoos in the world, the Ueno Zoo was founded by the Minister of Agriculture in 1802. The Royal Imperial family took it over, but later gave it to the people of Tokyo in 1924. The zoo is located in the 31-acre Ueno Park, once the formal gardens of a feudal lord. The zoo contains over 813 species of birds and animals, including the increasingly rare China Panda Bear.”
