Jurassic Park III: Dino Defender is a 2001 side-scrolling video game developed and published by Knowledge Adventure. It is based on the 2001 film Jurassic Park III. The player is depicted as a person in a bio-mechanical suit hired by Jurassic Park to bring power back to the electrified fences and capture all the free-roaming dinosaurs.
A modified version of the game's first level, as well as some of the game's animation and audio, was re-used for another video game titled Jurassic Park III: Danger Zone!, also developed and published by Knowledge Adventure.
After a training mission, the player is shown a cutscene of a typhoon raging across Jurassic Park, a dinosaur theme park on the fictional island of Isla Sorna. Power to the island and its electrified fences is cut off from the storm, allowing the dinosaurs to escape. The player is briefed that all the dinosaurs must be captured "before they destroy one another". The player controls a Dino Defender, a person inside a bio-mechanical suit. The character first lands on a beach with a few Compsognathus on it. Soon after, the character runs into some Velociraptors at a small cliff. The character advances and then must swim while avoiding jellyfish and poisonous purple plants.
The character advances to an underwater cavern, where raptors and stegosaurs are encountered and must be captured or avoided. The character then discovers a steep ravine and is knocked over a cliff by a Pteranodon. The character climbs the cliff, jumping over many gaps while avoiding pterosaurs. At the top of the cliff, the character escapes baby pteranodons and a Tyrannosaurus rex. The T. rex then chases the character and falls down a pit after it crosses an unstable bridge, but survives. The character goes into the jungle and avoids additional dinosaurs, before going down a waterfall.
The character avoids a T. rex and discovers a construction elevator. A Spinosaurus arrives and the character escapes on vines. The T. rex and Spinosaurus face off, with the Spinosaurus fleeing. The character moves from the Tyrannosaurus pen to underground tunnels, where more Velociraptors must be captured. The character escapes to the visitor center and encounters the Spinosaurus. The character activates flip switches which cause the visitor center's dinosaur skeletons to crush the Spinosaurus. After leaving the visitor center, multiple helicopters fly off with the dinosaurs the character had tranquilized.
