Jurassic Park is a platformer released in 1993 for the Sega Game Gear, developed by SEGA. It blends platformer and adventure elements.

It landed about 2 years into the Game Gear's life. Other notable Game Gear releases from 1993 include Sonic Chaos, Tom & Jerry: The Movie and Power Strike II.

It is part of the Jurassic Park series; on the Game Gear you can also try The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The series also appears on other systems with Jurassic Park (NES) and Jurassic Park (Game Boy). SEGA also made Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2 and Crystal Warriors for the Game Gear.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the Game Gear hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Jurassic Park is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
