Jurassic Park is an action-adventure game released in 1993 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, developed by Tec Toy and published by BlueSky Software. It blends action-adventure, adventure and action elements.

It landed about 4 years into the Genesis's life. Other notable Genesis releases from 1993 include Mortal Kombat, Flashback and Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball. Among the 18 Genesis action-adventure games in our database, it ranks #9 by legacy score.

It is part of the Jurassic Park series; on the Genesis you can also try Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition and The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The series also appears on other systems with Jurassic Park (NES) and Jurassic Park (Game Boy). Tec Toy also made Duke Nukem 3D, Férias Frustradas do Pica-Pau and Show do milhão for the Genesis.

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

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Jurassic Park is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
