ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Zoo Keeper was to be a SARA SuperChip cartridge. It is rumored that this game was 90% complete. Sound designer Robert Vieira believes the programmer got over the most difficult hurdle: making the animals move up, down, sideways, and upside-down as they ran around the cage. As far as he can remember, the game was never finished before Atari killed it off in early 1984. Vieira made his sound code available to the community and a binary was created that plays 18 different sound effects and pieces of music (press the Fire button to hear them). Graphics artist Courtney Granner provided some footage of his character sprite animations. No other material have been found to date.
