Jurassic Park - Manual WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK ------------------------ Astounding biotechnical advances have brought back to life the most awesome creatures ever to walk the face of the earth and have made possible the most incredible animal preserve of all time.. JURASSIC PARK! Humans and dinosaurs - thought to have missed meeting one another by over 6O million years - have been brought together on isla Nublar, a tiny island off the cost of Central America. As Dr. Alan Grant, world-renowned palaeontologist, you have been invited to examine the cloned inhabitants of this mysterious, fog-shrouded island. the dinosaurs are monitored and controlled by a huge supercomputer, and you have been assured that you can explore the island and see these breathtaking behemoths in complete safety. But now something has gone terribly wrong. Jurassic Park's computer programmer, Dennis Nedry, has sabotaged the security systems - electrified fences and motion sensors are down - and hundreds of fearsome prehistoric predators have excaped their pens and paddocks to roam free on the island. Vicious raptors, spitters and tyrannosaurs have quickly overrun even the fortified visitor centre. And millions of years of extinction haven't slowed these creatures' reflexes - they still know how to hunt! You'll need to accomplish a number of increasingly difficult tasks before you're free to attempt the toughest one of all : getting yourself safely off the island! Are you ready to face some of history's most powerful and deadly carnivores? The perilous primeval world of Jurassic Park awaits!

PLAYING THE GAME AS a world-renowned palaentologist, you have been invited to a special preview of Jurassic Park. Imagin being able to study a live animal that you thought you'd only see as bone fragments. But your dream of a lifetime has become a nightmare since a system failure released the dinosaurs from thire carfully constructed pens. Now they have overrun the island, and you've got some serious worl to do before you can get yourself off the island. GAME OBJECTIVE You are stranded in the tyrannosaur paddock of Jarassic Park. Nearby, somewhere, are John Hammond's grandchildren, Tim and Lex. You must fine them and take them with you through the various dinosaur paddocks, to the visitors center. From there you must restore the parks systems and call for a rescue helicopter. THE KIDS Tim and Lex are higing, scared somewhere. If you can find them then they will follow you as best they can. Sometimes, however, they may just be to frightend and do something silly. You'll have to protect the from the dinosaurs and rescue them from any scrapes they may get into. PADDOCKS Each paddock was supposed to contain one species of dinosaur but since the system failure many have broken free. They have scattered about the island by wrecking the fences and creeping into underground tunnels and drainage pipes. WEAPONS In hand to hand combat, a human doesn't have much of a chance against a dinosaur, so Dr Grant needs armaments to aid him. You will start with a Fazer. This basic wepon throws out a boult of electricity which will deatroy some smaller dinosaurs and stun others. The Fazer uses energy quickly and must be given a moment to recharge. If you look around you may find some other wepons that may have been discareded by some of the park workers. Remember though, this is supposed to be a theme park so you won't find any devices of mass destruction here. The most powerfull weapon carried is always selected. If you are using a gun when its ammo runs out then the Fazer will be automatically used. OBJECTS TO PICK UP AND USE Pick-ups can be found inside or outside of buildings. You will need these items to complete your objectives and get out of Jurassic Park. When you pick up an object an icon will appear briefly to tell you what it is. Objects are automatically used whenever they are needed. (e.g. if you walk towards a locked door and you are carrying the correct keycard then the door will unlock). An icon will again appear to tell you which object was used. some of the more common pick-ups are- AMMUNITION:-Some weapons require ammunition.Collect These boxes to ensure you dont run out. FIRST AID KIT:-Collect to heal your injuries and restore all of your energy. These aew valuable since there are a lot of ways to get hurt in Jurassic Park. OBJECTS TO PUSH AROUND Some objects that you may find will be too large to carry but can still be moved. If you find a rock, try pushing it around (just walk into it). These could be used to overcome some obstacles. If you push a rock against a wall, just keep pushing and Grant will jump on top of it. MOTION SENSORS Elecrtonic motion sensors are located throught Jurassic Park. This is how the computer was supposed to keep track of the dinosaurs. When the motion sensors are working they can detect all moving objects on the island, and can even identify the different types of dinosaurs running free in the park. Connected to the motion sensors are computer terminals that you can use to call up information. You will also need the terminals to control park functions, like opening gates and doors, and to receive urgent messages from the controll room. you can access a computer terminal by walking up to it and Pressing RETURN when the terminal icon appears. To use the terminal, simply follow the on-screen prompts. UTILITY SHEDS In some of the dinosaur paddocks you may find the concrete utility sheds. Most of them can be unlocked fron the motion sensor terminals and may contain somthing to help you. Some of them are also connected to a network of maintenance tunnels underneath the park. DINOSAURS:-THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF DINOSAUR ALL OVER JURASSIC PARK. Here are some of the main ones: COMPSOGNATHUS (Compy) These small canivores will attack in packs, weighing you down by their sheer numbers. The compys will also bite, their venom weakening and eventually paralysing you. GALLIMIMUS These mild herbivores will not atteck you but are very easily disturbed and are quick to stampede. They run extremely fast, and will run into you and injure you unless you get out of the way. VELOCIRAPTOR (Raptor) The Raptor stands Six feet tall and is pound for pound the most vicious dinosaur that ever lived. As intelligent asa chimpanzees, they are the most cunnung creature in Jurassic Park. They hunt in packs and will attack just for the sport of it. They can figure out whwrw you are , and how to get to you, and will even split up to head you off. They run at speeds of up to 6O miles per hour, and with a 6-inch retractable, razor-sharp claw at the end of each limb, can fell a man in one swipe. DILOPHOSAUR (Spitter) These four-foot high kangaroo-like animals seem playful and frendly, but whwn you guard is down a brilliantly-coloured crest fans out over their head,and you know you are within range of their blinding paralysing spit. They can spit a venomous projectile at you with speed and accuracy. TRICERATOPS The Triceratops is nearly the size of an elephant, and is built low to the ground with stumpy legs and a massive head with three horns, the longest protruding from the middle of its face. They are easily startled and will charge you. TYRANNOSAURUS REX (T-Rex) The most famous predator in history, the t-rex is the classic blood-thirsty carnivore. Stanging eighteen feet tall with a head five feet long, the tyrannasaur has huge and powerfull jaws which can swallow a man whole. They are capable of eating a ton of food at one time. Be on the lookout for this hunter, or you will be snapped up before you know what's happening. There are many things in Jurassic Park that will make your tasks difficult some are geological features and some are features of the security system. Some of these obsticles include: OBSTICLES Electronic Fences These separate the dinosaurs and the different areas of the park. Most of the fences are off so they will probably be safe to touch. To open a gate in the fence, you may need to unlock it from a computer terminal, or find a keycard. Cliffs and Rocks You can climb up small steps by just walking into them. Walk off edges to descend, but don't fall to far or you'll be knocked unconscious and eaten before you wake up. Trees and Bushes Raptors and other dinos can hide behind these and jump out at you Surprise! Rock Avalanches Remember you are just a dino doc, not a super hero-rocks will crush you flat. Fast Flowing Rivers Rivers snake their way across Isla Nublar separating dinosaurs and areas of the park. Like the electric fences, these can help you by stoping dinosaurs, bet they can also stop you, since they can only be crossed at certain points. Deadly Dino Dragonfly This is one big bug. It will follow you and injure you by stinging. Good thing it's not a mosquito, or some future geneticist might dig your DNA out of amber millions of years from now and put your clones in Palaeontologist Park. HINTS AND TIPS * Learn the attack patterns of dinosaurs. * When you fell the ground shake, run for your life!. * If you're stuck head for a computer terminal. * look for steps to take you up mountains * If you cant find any steps then make your own using boulders. * Dont push anything of the edge off a cliff unless your sure you wont need it later. * Dont try to shoot at the big dinos -just stay out of their way!. O and yes Be careful out there.. --- Typed by Scooter
