The 8-bit version of Jurassic Park (ジュラシック・パーク) is an action game comprised of driving/shooting and platforming segments. It was released for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear.

Story

On a small island off the coast of Costa Rica, dinosaurs have been brought back to life for the theme park Jurassic Park. However, the fences that keep the creatures in place have lost power. Dr. Alan Grant has been asked to enter the park and tranquilize the dinosaurs so they can be returned to their areas.

Gameplay

Map screen

Pause menu

The first segment of each stage is a shooting segment with Dr. Grant in his Jeep. The Jeep drives automatically, and dinosaurs try to attack the vehicle. The player moves a crosshair around with the D-pad and fires with or . The road has rocks that cause the Jeep to bounce upward, which also causes the crosshair to jump. Some dinosaurs drop items that increase the length of Grant's life meter or restore lost points on his life meter. Shooting the Jeep when it hits a rock gives the player an item that restores one life point. The segment ends with a fight against a larger dinosaur.

The rest of the stage is played as a platform game. Dr. Grant is moved around with and and jumps with in the Master System version or in the Game Gear version. He crouches with and crawls with and . He can cling to ceilings and the bottom of platforms by jumping and pressing and then move along them with and . He can pull himself up a platform when clinging to it this way by pressing with the jump button. He can also drop down from platforms by pressing with the jump button. He enters doorways with .

Grant is equipped with multiple weapons, which are selected by pausing the game with PAUSE on the Master System or START on the Game Gear. He fires the weapon with on the Master System or on the Game Gear version. He can fire weapons from a crouching position or in midair while jumping. His weapons are a tranquilizer rifle that shoots a tall projectile horizontally, a concussion grenade that shoots at an upward angle and then explodes in the air and hits dinosaurs on the horizontal axis where it explodes, and a fireball grenade that is thrown in an arc and explodes when it hits a dinosaur or the ground.

In both the shooting and platforming sections, Grant's health is indicated by a life meter in the bottom-left of the screen. He loses bars on the meter when he takes damage from dinosaurs or hazards and loses a life when he loses the entire meter. He can restore his life by finding items or by using a First Aid Kit (which can be done through the pause menu, as with changing weapons). If he loses all of his lives, he must use a continue to continue the game. Continues are limited but can be gained by collecting ten Continue Credit items, which are sometimes dropped by dinosaurs when they are defeated.
