After the announcement of the 1993 Jurassic Park feature film, based on the critically acclaimed novel by Michael Crichton, developers Ocean Software, BlueSky Software and Sega of America were licensed to produce games to be sold to coincide with the release of the film on the popular platforms of the time. In 1997, several developers, including DreamWorks Interactive and Appaloosa Interactive, produced various games for nine different platforms to coincide with the release of the film, The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

For the 2001 film, Jurassic Park III, a total of seven games were produced, including three games for the Game Boy Advance and three PC games. Lego Jurassic World, released in 2015, is based on each of the series' four films, including Jurassic World. Since 1994, a number of other video games that are not based directly on any of the films have also been released.

Ocean released three distinct Jurassic Park games optimized for different platforms.

Jurassic Park, released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Nintendo's Game Boy, is an action-adventure game played from an overhead perspective, with various goals that loosely follow the plot of the film. The Game Boy version is a port of the NES version, and features the addition of a database with information about six of the game's dinosaurs. The Game Boy version was originally scheduled for release in July 1993, but was not released until August 1993.Nintendo Power, reviewing the Game Boy version, wrote negatively, "Aiming can be awkward because the gun is offset on your shoulder and doesn't shoot straight in front of you," but positively wrote, "Good graphics and fun game play. You really get a sense of the movie danger."
