Lost Eden is an adventure game produced by Cryo Interactive and published by Virgin Interactive in March 1995 for the PC running DOS, Macintosh, 3DO, and CD-i. It is set in a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist.

Adam, prince of Mo has grown up in an isolated world of humans. His mother and sister were killed near the Citadel of Mo by the forces of the Tyrann, led by Moorkus Rex. The king of Mo who has lost all hope for the world since this tragedy.

Adam's great-grandfather is remembered as the Architect, who built gigantic fortresses across the land. The secret of their construction died with him. His grandfather is known as the Enslaver. He tore down all the citadels except the one at Mo. He drove the humans and dinosaurs apart, creating mutual distrust and, in places, sheer hatred.

Moorkus Rex, a strange, armor-plated reptile, leads the Tyrannosaurus armies, known as the Tyrann. One of the only remaining places of safety from the Tyrann is the Citadel of Mo.

Adam is the young prince of Mo. Although he has little memory of his early childhood, Adam has grown up under the protective and privileged wing of his father. He grows up in a city nearly segregated from all dinosaur species. As he approaches his "Coming of Age", Adam is thrown for a loop when he is confronted with the rising threat of Moorkus Rex, a firm-fisted leader of the Tyrann, who had killed Adam's mother and sister while he was an infant. Adam bravely steps forward as the chosen human to battle out the Tyrann and bring peace to the world once again.

Eloi is the narrator of this story as well as a key character in the game. He is the navigator for Adam during his quest as well as a strong motivator and wise representative of his pterodactyl brethren. While he usually travels the world because his ancestor was banished from the White Arch, the home of his species, Eloi has come to Mo to help Adam along his quest.

King Gregor is the father of Prince Adam and King of Mo. He is very protective of his son and very clandestine about Mo's turbulent past. In order to achieve peace among his people, he misconstrues the history of his kingdom in hopes to keep all in the citadel's walls ignorant and thus secure. With the rising threat of Moorkus Rex and the spiked interest Adam has found in fighting such a tyrant, king Gregor comes to terms with his son chosen destiny and sends Prince Adam off with his blessing. Ill and quite old, King Gregor can only sit at his throne and wait for his son to succeed.
