Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis challenges you to create and operate a dinosaur-themed amusement park as a Dr. Hammond-style scientist. Design habitats with fences suited to different dinosaur sizes, construct visitor facilities, and develop attractions such as safari tours.

Managing prehistoric life is central to the experience. Teams locate and analyze fossils before dinosaurs can be bred, while each species has different environmental and dietary needs. Herbivores require trees and grass, whereas carnivores depend on meat sources and may hunt smaller dinosaurs.

The Ranger Station supports park security with helicopter patrols. If a dinosaur escapes, you can take direct control of a helicopter in first-person view and use tranquilizer darts, or allow the AI to handle the capture. Multiple camera options let you observe the park from different angles, ride the safari, view it as a visitor, take a hot-air-balloon tour, or look out from the helicopter.
