Jurassic War

About

Jurassic War is a 1997 real time strategy game where you build bases manage resources and command armies of dinosaurs and humans. Instead of mining or farming your main resource is food gathered by hunting wild animals. Units bring the meat to storage then you use builders to construct bases or train soldiers. Factions offer different strengths with dinosaurs favored for durability and humans excelling at crafting weapons like spears bows and talismans. Combat mixes melee and ranged tactics as you upgrade troops for better performance in battles. The game has developed a cult following for its oddball approach to resource gathering and unit control. Community members often note the challenge of keeping units from getting lost in cluttered maps a common issue in older RTS titles. Despite its age Jurassic War remains a niche pick for those curious about early 90s strategy experiments. Its mix of awkward mechanics and tactical depth has earned it a small but dedicated player base on retro gaming forums and emulators.
