In this fast-paced match-up game, players select animals of the same type using either the touch-screen or a standard controller.
Line like animals up in rows by swapping them from spot to spot in the time allowed.
There are five varied game play modes: Normal, Tokoton, Quest, Time Attack and 2P.
Normal mode has you clearing a set amount of animals each level before progressing to the next.
Tokoton is similar to Normal, but has all the animal amounts set to 100 before you'll level up.
Quest has you playing ten set stages with specific goals (such as only capturing animals of a certain type) that you must attempt to achieve.
Time Attack has you aiming to get the highest score possible in the time limit. 2P has two players battling it out against each other.
About Atari 2600
The Atari 2600 (1977) was the console that first proved interchangeable game cartridges could sustain a mass-market business, effectively founding the home console industry as we know it. Most common 2600 titles are inexpensive today given how many units and copies were sold, but a small number of extremely rare releases — including several from Atari's own late-era prototype and licensed titles — are among the most valuable cartridges in retro collecting.
Gamevaro tracks Zoo Keeper for Atari 2600 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Zoo Keeper to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This A2600 release dates back to 1984.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Zoo Keeper — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
