Jpog Shrine!

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis is a construction and management simulation video game based on the Jurassic Park series developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and published by Universal Interactive, with the console versions being co-published with Konami in Japan. It was released for Windows, Xbox, and PlayStation 2. The game's primary goal is to construct a five-star rated dinosaur theme park named Jurassic Park on custom-generated islands by hatching dinosaurs, building attractions, keeping visitors entertained, and ensuring the park's safety.

Unfortunately getting access to the game legitmately is rather expensive for a game that often has trouble even running on modern devices, and even may be incompatible with laptops in general. So i highly reccomend your nearest (and highly trusted) abandonware source if you'd like to play it.

I enjoy replaying the game, the random digsites you get and different digsite choices you can make really add to replay value. Plus the game has a sandbox mode, and you don't even have to use it if you don't want to, since JPOG has built in cheats!

You get to customize the island you start on too! You can make it really small, or really big, with various mountains or very flat, with rivers running through or dry lands all around. I tend to play without mountains personally, as the dino AI has trouble with them and where they would be useful fences would always do the job better for me, but I have seen cool uses for them.

The weather can vary wildly as well, with clear pleasant skys, rain, thunderstorms, heatwaves or even a twister (the most rare and devastating)!

History with the game

When I was a kid, I'd watch people play this game, and I thought it was super cool! A park building game with 3d dinosaurs that roam around and do natural behaviors that can break out and eat people. It was always appealing to me, especially in regards to making my own successful little park. Unfortunately, I do not have my first saves from when I first got my hands on it, but I do have a new playthrough I've been doing for this shrine to get images!

If You'd like more images, I'm planning on compiling images for diseases, causes of death, and undead/corpse appearances. This is more for a frame of reference resource and to provide images to those needing them for say, a wiki, or perhaps a hyperspecific slideshow for a game with friends.
