Released:	various
Type:	Action
Language:	English
Premise:	"Welcome to Jurassic Park." This is the only place in the world where dinosaurs still roam the earth, having been genetically recreated from eons-old DNA samples. Unfortunately, they've proven too much to handle for the park resources, and now have the run of the place. Can you carry out your various tasks without becoming a quick meal for one of them? Based on the hit feature films by producer Steven Speilberg, both of which were derived from the novels by author Michael Crichton.
Impressions:	On the whole, better than most other movie tie-ins. Great sound, great graphics, good gameplay, decent stage design. The first two are must-haves, while the third suffers from a noticeable drop in quality.
Variations:	Jurassic Park (1993 by Ocean, you get to choose your role as either man or raptor as you roam the broad expanses of the park - superior in almost every respect to the notably different top-down SNES shooter) Jurassic Park - Rampage Edition (1994 by Blue Sky Software, you play a palentologist investigating the failed park who must contend not only with the local wildlife but also with big-game hunters out to bag the ultimate quarry - best game in the series) Jurassic Park - The Lost World (1997 by Appaloosa Interactive, a top-down multiplayer shooter in the same vein as The Chaos Engine - this was the very last commercially released G/MD game in the United States until Majesco's issue of Frogger over a year later)
Recommended Emu:	KGen 98
