About

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis lets you run a dinosaur theme park from the ground up.

Earn stars by meeting guest satisfaction goals which boost your park's popularity and draw larger crowds. Prioritize research to unlock new species or invest in amenities like gift shops and restrooms. Every decision impacts your bottom line and the safety of both visitors and dinosaurs. The game blends simulation depth with strategy challenges. Players appreciate the variety of island layouts and the need to juggle multiple priorities at once. With over 50 dinosaurs to manage and systems that reward careful planning, it holds a dedicated fanbase despite its 2003 release.
