Jurassic Park Operation Genesis (PC, PlayStation 2, X-BOX)

Synopsis:
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (known colloquially as ‘JP:OG’ or ‘JPOG’) is a video game for the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 based on the novel and film series Jurassic Park. The main point of the game is to recreate Jurassic Park – building a 5 star theme park with dinosaurs, and turning John Hammond’s dream into reality. In the park, the player builds paths, amenities for visitors such as, food and toilets, as well as enclosures and attractions. One must also keep the park safe and secure. For example, during a raptor breakout detected by a security camera, one raptor could run towards the visitors and be quickly taken down by a sentry turret (an automatic heavy machine gun), while the rest could be sedated by the ranger helicopter and moved back into their enclosures. The park can be populated with up to sixty dinosaurs representing twenty-five different species. The player can also add attractions similar to those seen in the film, such as the safari seen in the Jurassic Park film, and additional attractions like a balloon tour and several varieties of viewing platform.

7. Context Buttons – Wherever you are in Jurassic Park you can see what options are available by looking at the context buttons.
8. Mini Map -This small map of the island gives you rough indication of where you are.

Objectives
When you start running Jurassic Park, you are working for INGEN. Use INGEN’s vision statement for Jurassic Park to establish your objectives. As the manager of Jurassic Park your aim is “To create the most successful theme park in the history of the world” – John Hammond

INGEN’s Vision Statement:

1. By creating an entertaining dinosaur park, affordable and accessible to everyone.
2. By cultivating a healthy island environment that meets the needs of both visitors and dinosaurs.
3. By ensuring that visitor’s lives are protected through the provision of adequate security measures.
4. By returning a profit to INGEN through responsible financial management.

Your objectives are therefore as a manager to…

Aim to increase your Star Rating! – The ultimate aim of Operation Genesis is to create a 5-star park. The more stars you earn, the more popular the park will be. You earn stars by entertaining your visitors.

Keep your island looking beautiful! – Maintain a beautiful island and a clean, natural-looking park.

Protect your visitors! – Take every precautions to prevent visitor fatalities. Build Ranger Stations and other facilities to protect the lives of your visitors.

Make money! – INGEN’s investors will lose confidence if the park budget goes into the red. Always keep a positive balance in your budget.

Operation Genesis / Site B
Operation Genesis is the park simulation game. Site B is like OG but with a difference. No visitors. That means that while in OG your aim is to build a park and entertain visitors. Site B is just about creating a island and setting free dinosaurs… looking after them and watching them live their lives. Think of it like a virtual “fishtank”. OG is the full works. This is where all the action and management happens.

In Operation Genesis you can…

• Generate your own island, everything from it’s shape to it’s rivers. It’s mountain ranges, and it’s trees.
• Create fences and dinosaur pens.
• Place paths for visitors to travel on.
• Hatch dinosaurs, and send dig teams to dig sites at 6 different formations.
• Build structures like attractions, amenities (important buildings for visitors), cleaner stations ranger stations, and security machines.
• Make use of the research department and research different topics.
• Create Safari rides and take control of them. Snapping dinosaurs in action and at play, to sell for profit
• Or create balloon tours where you can also take control of and take photos with.
• Take control of the Ranger copter to vaccinate dinosaurs, revive comatose dinosaurs or retire rampaging carnivores. Even use the helicopters to encourage dinosaurs to move closer to attractions (dino lures or use the muster pulse)

In Site B you can…

• Generate your own island, everything from it’s shape to it’s rivers. It’s mountain ranges, and it’s trees.
• Hatch dinosaurs, and send dig teams to dig sites at 6 different formations.
• Observe your dinosaurs with out having to worry about costs and entertaining visitors

Island Generation
Your first step in Operation Genesis and Site B is to choose the island site for your park. You can create any island enviroment you like by altering the slider bars. Each one of the following variables will have an impact on the park that is built:

• Shape – This variable changes the size and shape of the island of the island on which you are going to build the park.
• Trees – This variable changes the distribution of trees on the island. Trees are useful when you are exhibiting large numbers of herbivores, but they can prevent visitors from getting a clear view of the dinosaurs.
• Rivers – This variable changes the number of rivers and watering holes on the island. Rivers ensure that your dinosaurs have access to water, but they can obstruct the placement of buildings.
• Mountains – This variable changes the number of mountains on the island. Mountains enhance the beauty of your island, but they create a major obstruction and are expensive to remove.

Once you select the terrain settings you want, you can alter the appearance of your island by clicking on Next Island. If you’re happy with your selection, click on START to begin Operation Genesis/Site B.

Island Map
The Island Map helps locate dinosaurs and buildings in your park. You can also use it to check the weather forecast to check if any storms are approaching. To check the Weather Forecast, click on the Weather Forecast button (or if using the PS2/XBox versions, press the necessary button).

IMPORTANT: Check the weather forecast regularly. Jurassic Park is located in the North Pacific, where there are frequent storms during the wet season.

HINT: Ranger Helicopters and Balloons will be grounded during thunderstorms unless you research the Gyro Stabilizer upgrade. All air traffic will be grounded when twisters strike the park.
