Howdy, Semi Geek! Nice to meet you! First, MS/BF stands for Miscrosoft/Blue Fang. They work together to produce the Zoo Tyccon series of games, from ZT through ZT2 and now ZT2 ES.
Since you're new here, I would suggest you go introduce yourself in Introductions. A lot of people here are willing to help with any questions you may have. Use the Search button at the top of the Forum screen if you know what you're looking for. If you don't, just have a browse through the different topics.
As I say, nice to meet you, and go introduce yourself. :happy
