The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a video game developed by Aspect Co. and published by Sega and released for the Sega Game Gear in August 1997. It was the final game released in North America for the Game Gear, and is loosely based on the film of the same name. A Game Boy version, designed by Torus Games and published by THQ, was released later that year. Another version of the game was also released by Tiger Electronics for their Game.com handheld console. Each version features side-scrolling platform-based gameplay. A fourth version, also published by Tiger, was released for their R-Zone handheld system.
In the Game Gear version, several organizations have sent hunting teams to Isla Sorna to capture the island's dinosaurs and sell them. The player controls a hunter, who is sent to investigate the current state of the island, and to prevent the hunting teams from achieving their goal. Twelve levels are featured, each one accessed by a world map. In two of the game's later levels, the player plays as a Compsognathus rather than the hunter.
In the Game Boy version, the player's unnamed character must prevent smugglers from removing the island's dinosaurs. The game features eight levels, including jungles and a laboratory. The player's character must collect 10 objects in each level, such as dinosaur eggs, data discs, and DNA vials. The game includes a password feature, and is compatible with the Super Game Boy.
In the Game.com version, the player chooses to play as either Sarah Harding or Roland Tembo. Tembo is a hunter who wants to collect dinosaur eggs and take them off the island; Harding must collect the eggs before Tembo. The game features six levels, each one divided into two sections: Game Trail and Nest Area. Each level begins with a Game Trail section, which is a three-dimensional driving mini-game. The player chooses a vehicle, such as a motorcycle or Humvee. The player must then avoid stampeding dinosaurs and road hazards such as bushes and rocks while driving forward on a road of either dirt, grass or gravel. Nest Area, the second portion of each level, plays as a side-scroller in which the player's character must avoid dinosaurs while searching for five eggs and attempting to reach the end of the level. At the end of each level is a mother dinosaur that must be defeated. Both characters use tranquilizer darts against the dinosaurs. In addition, both characters also possess their own weapon.
