Spielberg received one of the arcade cabinets as a gift from Sega of America. It was housed in a "theater style" cabinet with a 50-inch monitor, two light guns, and four-speaker surround sound. The Lost World: Jurassic Park was released in the United States and the United Kingdom in September 1997. The game was publicly announced in the first quarter of 1997, and was unveiled in June at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). This idea was scrapped due to time constraints. The developers initially planned to make the two-player mode different from the one-player mode, in regard to routes the players would take or the types of dinosaurs they would encounter. The Carnotaurus, which appeared in the original script for the film, was implemented into the game, as the developers expected ILM to create the creature for use in the film. The development team also spent considerable time deciding how to make the game's main dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus, appear frightening and impressive. Velociraptor was among the most difficult dinosaurs to design due to its quick movements. The game's dinosaurs were designed from scratch by Sega AM3, as ILM's production sketches were unavailable. The developers considered adding a creature similar to the Loch Ness Monster, but later dropped the idea as it was decided it would have been awkward for the player to shoot. Instead, the team visited Stan Winston and observed some of his full size velociraptors created for the film. The development team also planned to visit Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), but the company was too busy creating special effects for the film. ![]() Some of the development team members went to the United States to visit the film's sets, which inspired the level designs. The developers had little communication with the film's creators and instead worked mainly with the film's promotional crew. Approximately three months before the game's completion, various materials related to the film were sent to the development team, who then added extra elements to the game. Action scenes from the script were added into the game. Įarly in development, the developers only had access to the film's original script. The team also faced a tight deadline to get the game finished and released. The development team had difficulty designing the game due to unfamiliarity with Model 3. It was the first shooting game to use Model 3, which Sega AM3 had never used before. Model 3 allowed the game to operate at 60 frames and 100,000 polygons per second. ![]() Sega AM3 utilized Sega's Model 3 arcade system board, as Model 2 was not advanced enough for certain features. The development team wanted the sequel to have more tension. Shinichi Ogasawara was the game's director. AM3 began developing the game in early 1997, after receiving permission from Universal Studios. Additionally hoping that they could make use of Sega's new relationship with Spielberg's company DreamWorks (the two companies were partnered for the GameWorks chain of entertainment venues), producer Mie Kumagai presented her ideas to AM3 president Hisao Oguchi, who approved. Having developed the original Jurassic Park arcade game, Sega AM3, a division of Sega, became interested in making the game after hearing about the film. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is based on director Steven Spielberg's 1997 film of the same name. Saving the human results in the human rewarding the player with either a temporary weapon upgrade or additional health. At times, the game presents the player with an opportunity to rescue a human who is being attacked by one or multiple dinosaurs. Compsognathus, Dilophosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and pterosaurs are also encountered throughout the game. Velociraptors are also featured as enemies throughout the game. Boss enemies include 2 large meat-eating dinosaurs which are Tyrannosaurus and Carnotaurus as well as the prehistoric crocodilian Deinosuchus. Four of the levels feature a boss battle that must be won to advance the game. The game features five levels based on environments from the film, including a laboratory and a workers' village. Players battle dinosaurs by disabling them with tranquilizer darts. The player controls one of two rangers, whose goal is to find Dr. Ian Malcolm and Sarah Harding go missing after landing on Isla Sorna to conduct an investigation. A third Jurassic Park arcade game, based on Jurassic Park III, was made by Konami in 2001. ![]() It is also a sequel to Sega's 1994 Jurassic Park arcade game. It was released in 1997, and is based on the film of the same name. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a light gun arcade game from Sega.
