Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo

Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo is a 3D platform/action-adventure game featuring evil mastermind penguin Feathers McGraw, who conducts a large-scale criminal diamond-producing operation by enslaving all the animals in a zoo with massive mines and a volcano complex located deep underground - and it's up to Gromit (who can apparently do more stuff than Wallace) to stop him!

DogsTaleLand#

The game files make many internal references to "DogsTaleLand", the internal name for Dog's Life. This is likely due to the fact that both games use the same engine, FGDK3.
