Jurassic Park (ジュラシック・パーク) for the Sega Mega Drive is a platform game developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega in 1993. It is a based on the film of the same name.

Gameplay

In Jurassic Park, the player can play as either Dr. Grant or a Velociraptor, each with varying gameplay objectives. As Dr. Grant, A is for switching weapons and B is for firing the selected weapon. As the Velociraptor, A is for bite attacks and B is for claw attacks. Combining these with directional keys results in a variety of attacks. Both characters jump with the C button.

The final stage of Dr. Grant features a puzzle boss fight that is difficult to understand without having seen the movie.

The game has a lot of slowdown, even in scenes with little to no enemies present, which was not present in the following games released by BlueSky Software.

History

Development

A nod to Disney's Aladdin.

For a while, BlueSky Software were producing two games concurrently - Jurassic Park, which saw the lion's share of the team's attention, and a version of Disney's Aladdin, with both projects sharing some staff. BlueSky's version of Aladdin was inevitably canceled and replaced by a re-worked version by Virgin Games, however a homage to this period can be seen in the North Western part of Jurassic Park's map, where an upside-down genie lamp is disguised as a mountain range.

Release

Within two weeks of release, Sega had sold 2.2 million copies of the game in the US, raising $13.5 million[10].

Legacy

The split gameplay of Jurassic Park was continued in Sega-produced Jurassic Park games to follow, namely Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition released the following year and The Lost World: Jurassic Park for the Sega Saturn.
