History VideoGame / TheLostWorldJurassicPark

* AscendedExtra: Combined with SparedByTheAdaptation. Dieter Stark, whose main purpose in the film was to be a dumb {{Jerkass}}, get lost, and end up and Compy chow, gets an entire playable level here where he battles his way past not only compies, but prehistoric crocodiles and Baryonyx, in addition to being the boss character on the compy's level.

Also released by Appaloosa Interactive in 1997 was a [[VideoGame/TheLostWorldJurassicParkSegaGenesis 16-bit version]] for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis. This game, completely different from the 32-bit version, featured a [[TopDownView birdseye point of view]], and gameplay-wise was not unlike the Jurassic Park game for the UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem.

''The Lost World: Jurassic Park'' is a 1997 side-scrolling platformer action-adventure ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' game developed by Creator/DreamWorksInteractive for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation and Appaloosa Interactive for the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn, adapted from the [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark film of the same name]]. In 1998, a modified special edition was released that added bonus content. The soundtrack is notable not only for being one of the earliest video game soundtracks to feature recorded orchestral instruments instead of MIDI or other synthetic music files, but also one of the first composed by Creator/MichaelGiacchino, who would later return to the franchise with ''Film/JurassicWorld''.

** Much like in [[Film/JurassicPark the first film]], the ''T. rex'' is easily distracted by flares.

* ATasteOfPower: The Special Edition's first level has you playing as Rexy the ''Tyrannosaurus'' during the [[Film/JurassicPark Isla Nublar Incident]] before plunking you down as the Compy.

* UpdatedRerelease: The ''Special Edition'', which added a bonus Rex level set during the events of ''Film/JurassicPark'', gave the characters more health, and added checkpoints.

* StanceSystem: The Compy's attacks will change depending on whether it is crouched, standing normally, or standing upright.* TakeThatAudience: Beating the game 100% unlocks a video from Creator/JeffGoldblum in-character as Ian Malcolm... telling the player to stop wasting their life, go outside, and do something more productive with their time.

** ''Mollysaurus[[labelnote:*]]A made-up name, presumably one of the many easter eggs in this game.[[/labelnote]]: '''1'''.

** The Human Hunter's intro's scanning of [=InGen=]'s employee database has the job descriptions get ridiculous, with "Brown, M." being listed as "[[Film/LordOfTheDance1997 Lord of the Dance]]", "[[Franchise/DocSavage Savage, Doc]]" being listed as "Mighty Adventurer", and "Piaseckyj P." being listed as a possible [=BioSyn=] spy.

* ShoutOut: Franchise/DocSavage works for [=InGen=]!

* CanonImmigrant: Nearly 3 decades before their ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' motion picture debut, ''Allosaurus, ''Carnotaurus'', and ''Baryonyx'' were all featured together in this game.

** Notoriously, the original PS1 release ''didn't have a save feature'', which made it impossible to keep your place unless you took note of the level cheat codes at the beginning of each stage.

There are five playable characters: the ''[[FragileSpeedster Compsognathus]]'', the [[MultiRangedMaster Human Hunter]], the ''[[LightningBruiser Velociraptor]]'', the ''[[MightyGlacier T. rex]]'', and [[TheCameo Sarah Harding]]. Players face off against a wide range of environmental obstacles, other dinosaurs, and humans in a fairly non-linear storyline.

* AdaptationalInBadass: Sarah Harding, who goes from being an animal behavioralist to something of a one-woman army, mowing down ''Velociraptors'' while running from the Rex and even taking down ''two'' T. rexes on the ship.

* {{Backtracking}}: Of a sort: the Human Hunter section begins where the Compy section ends, the Raptor section begins where the Human Hunter section ends, the Rex section begins where the Raptor section ends, and Sarah Harding's section begins where the Rex's section ends.

* ContinuityNod:
** One excised level for the Rex had it swimming underwater, with the concept art for this showing it preparing to attack a raft. This mirrors a scene from the [[Literature/JurassicPark first novel]].
** The map of Isla Sorna more closely resembles [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120312191953/jurassicpark/images/f/f1/Islasornamap.jpg the one]] from [[Literature/TheLostWorld1995 the novel]] than [[http://www.factpile.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Isla-Sorna-small.jpg the one]] from the film (namely, by having a more square outline and steep sides from being a dormant volcano crater instead of the more jagged border from the film version).
** Much like in [[Film/JurassicPark the first film]], the ''T. rex'' is easily distracted by flares.

* DegradedBoss: The final boss of the Compy level is the Human Hunter, who becomes the next player-controlled character.

* DoNotDropYourWeapon: The Human Hunter and Sarah will not drop their guns no matter what.

* InfiniteSupplies: The Human Hunter and Sarah Harding have a limitless supply of tranq darts.

* MythologyGag: One of the employees that [[FreezeFrameBonus flashes past in the Human Hunter's intro]] is listed as a "Possible [=BioSyn=] Spy". [=BioSyn=] was [=InGen=]'s rival in the first film, and was responsible for Nedry's sabotage, by bribing him to disable the park security and take the DNA of each dinosaur off-island, and were the major antagonists in the ''The Lost World'''s novel, instead of [=InGen=]'s hunter team.

* NoPlotNoProblem: There is only the vaguest storyline for the Human Hunter and Sarah Harding.

** If the ''Carnotaurus'' catches the Compy, it will stomp on it, then toss it into the air and eat it.

* TookALevelInBadass: Sarah Harding, who goes from being an animal behavioralist to something of a one-woman army, mowing down ''Velociraptors'' while running from the Rex and even taking down ''two'' T. rexes on the ship.

* WalkingArmory: The Human Hunter and Sarah Harding can acquire a range of weapons, including tranquilizers, nerve gas canisters, timed explosives, flamethrower napalm, a grenade launcher, high caliber full auto rounds, and flares.
