message: It seems to me that Jurassic Park (computer game) is describing many of the games also described here, so I am suggesting an article merge. - ThomasHarte 01:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The plotline description for "Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues" was incorrect. It stated the plot involved the player being part of a team sent in to destroy dinosaurs, but this is totally opposite of the actual game. In the game not only was killing dinosaurs frowned upon but you had a counter in the corner that ticked down Embryo reserves, and if you went too low it ended the game. I have corrected this entry.

message: Considering that the 3DO game was well designed, original, featured footage shot on set specifically for the title, and featured heavily in the game system's print and video advertising, shouldn't it be featured a bit in this article?Smoove K 10:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: User:DarkgreenOrange writes (here and here): "Jurassic Park was a video game for the SNES/Super Famicom based on the book by Michael Crichton.". 74.203.158.34 disagrees, saying that it's based on the movie adaptation, and the current revision of "Jurassic Park (SNES video game)" reflects this. The current version of this article likewise says that the SNES version is a "variation" of the NES/Game Boy version, which "loosely follow[s] the plot of the film"; but in the next paragraph says "The Nintendo versions follow the plot of the novel rather than that of the movie.". Which is true?

replies: text: The three games are based more on the movie than they are on the novel. One way that they're different from the movie is that they include a couple levels (a raptor nest level and a river raft level) based on scenes that weren't in the film but were in the novel. Other than that, I really don't see how the games are based on the novel. The Nintendo games simply took a few ideas from the novel, as did the Sega Genesis version of the game. The source which says the Nintendo games follow the plot of the novel is not an online source, so I can't verify exactly what it says. But I assume the source is simply mistaken. Perhaps the source meant to say that the games took some inspiration from the novel. AJFU (talk) 03:42, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

message: An editor sometimes adds Ark: Survival Evolved to the list's "Related titles" section (, , ) and I've always removed it because it is irrelevant to Jurassic Park other than being a dinosaur video game. Now another editor has restored the game, stating that it is not irrelevant to this list. To me, it's not clear what should go in the "Related titles" section, nor is it clear how Ark: Survival Evolved is related to Jurassic Park (Ark has nothing to do with Jurassic Park and the article for Ark doesn't even mention Jurassic Park). Surely, the section isn't meant to be a place for just any dinosaur video game, right? Otherwise, how would we decide what to put there? There are plenty of dinosaur video games out there. It doesn't make sense to include the ones that have nothing to do with Jurassic Park when this is a list of Jurassic Park games. I think we could move Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure to the "Related titles" section since it is not a full Jurassic Park game, but it does at least contain a Jurassic Park mini-game and is therefore related. Including the Universal game in that section makes sense to me, but Ark does not.  AJFU  (talk) 17:09, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't consider the reason for its inclusion to be that "it's a dinosaur game" (that list would be very long) more than the fact that the reported release of Jurassic World in 2015 apparantly was a major inspiration for the game (eventually releasing the early access version in June for this very reason), and for its large variety of Jurassic Park-related mods and references. I wouldn't insist on including the game in the list, but I wouldn't mind keeping it there either. TurokSwe (talk) 15:56, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I have never played Ark: Survival Evolved, so I was not aware of any Jurassic Park references, and the Ark article currently does not make any mention of Jurassic Park or Jurassic World, so the relation between that game and Jurassic Park games is not clear to readers such as myself who are not familiar with the game. The Jurassic World inspiration and the references to Jurassic Park should be mentioned in the Ark article and supported by a reliable source, and if the Ark game is to be listed here, we should also include a reliable source and a note specifying how the game is relevant to this list (something like ), to prevent any confusion about why it's here. I don't mind having the game listed here as long as we have a source to show that it is relevant.  AJFU  (talk) 17:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
