The Lost World: Jurassic Park

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

"The Lost World: Jurassic Park" is an action-adventure video game developed by Appaloosa Interactive and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. It is based on the film of the same name, which in turn is based on the novel by Michael Crichton. Unlike the earlier "Jurassic Park" games for the Genesis, this game features a top-down perspective, similar to "Jurassic Park" on the Super NES. You take on the role of an unnamed character who must capture dinosaurs on Isla Sorna while preventing rival hunters from transporting dinosaurs to the mainland. The game consists of nineteen missions spread across four sections of the island, designated “Sites One” through “Four.” At the end of each section, you must complete boss levels to advance to the next section. A second player can assist in co-op mode as Ian Malcolm, or both players can compete against each other in competitive mode. Weapons such as a taser, a tranquilizer gun, a shotgun, and grenades can be used against hunters and dinosaurs. At times, you can drive vehicles such as an SUV and a hovercraft.

Story

The Lost World: Jurassic Park ignores the plot of the movie, although some of its dinosaurs appear in it and it is set on "Site B", an island also known as Isla Sorna, which is used as a dinosaur breeding facility by InGen. The plot varies with each character struggling to survive in escalating chaos on the island, which is populated by over 20 species of dinosaurs.
