Gamers Zone / Jurassic Park : Operation Genesis
« on: March 01, 2017, 02:32:03 PM »
Aw man, so there was this game released way back in 2003 called Jurassic Park : Operation Genesis ; one of them Park Building type of games - obviously tied in with the Jurassic Park films! 
Aw man, it's a pretty cool game! As I said : You choose a randomized island, and build your park on it, create your Dinosaurs, and open the park to the public and watch as the tourists come flocking in.
You start off with a relatively small selection of Dinosaurs - 2-3 - but over time, you get to unlock Dig-Sites, where you can go out and collect Dinosaur Bones and extract their DNA! In this way, you can unlock more Dinosaurs, in addition to expanding their lifespan.
You've got four different types of visitors ; The Mainstreamers(who are perfectly happy and content just seeing DINOSAURS), the Fun Lovers(Herbivore Fans), Thrill Seekers(Carnivore Fans) and Dino Nerds(the pickiest of the group : likes authenticity, such as seeing Dinosaurs from the same time period).
And of course, you've got your necessities : Restaurants and Bathrooms!
There are also different upgrades you can research too : Cash Machines and Umbrella's for your visitors ; more buildings and attractions, vaccines because your Dinosaurs WILL get sick, among other things.
The goal for the game is relatively simple : Earn a Five-Star rating for your park! And make sure your visitors aren't eaten by your Dinosaurs should they break out of their fences.
... Tornadoes are also a hazard too, so watch out for those.
So, who else has heard of this game? I own the PS2 and PC versions - prefer the PC. You can make certain... Modifications on PC.
But aw man! I've actually discovered that this game, while it has a very passionate playerbase, was actually quite elusive, so there weren't that many people to have gotten their hands on this little game.
If you go onto Ebay and the like, you might find the game running from around 20 dollars up to a hundred.
On a funny sidenote, I suppose you could say this game unintentionally predicted that there WOULD be a Dinosaur Theme Park opened to the public - except this new theme park has introduced the notion of Hybrids, and is under a different company, in addition to sporting the name Jurassic World.
