Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa has just been released in retail channels all across North America!

It is a PC/Mac hybrid, so this is also the first time Mac gamers can get their hands on the 2006 IGF Grand Prize nominee.

The following retailers will be carrying the game:

GameStop
Target
Apple Stores
CompUSA
Best Buy
Microcenter
and more! (maybe Wal-Mart!!)


Sorry for the poor quality of the photo, but here's a pic of the packaging:

MumboJumbo published the retail version of the game. They were stellar to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone within the premium casual space.

I've been shaking ever since I got that package with my game in a box. Somebody get me a doctor.

Ditto, Im really pleased to see that game in retail. bah, you beat me to north America, I beat you to Europe :D
It's really cool to have your game in a proper box, even if you just use it to prove to your mum you arent a slacker who watches daytime TV all day :D
Here's to strong sales!

A big congratz Doc. And I wish you luck getting in to Wal Mart too, as I imagine that'll double the smile you've already got from holding that boxed form of your own product. A good looking box too.

No doubt. Please tell me this has been a very rewarding venture.

HAR HAR.
All puns aside, this is the culmination of a dream I've had since kindergarten. So yes, it's been rewarding. :)
