The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A brisk, no-frills dinosaur action romp that feels like a Saturday afternoon movie tie-in — punchy, familiar, and energetic without overstaying its welcome.

About

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an action-adventure video game developed by DreamWorks Interactive and Appaloosa Interactive, and published by Electronic Arts and Sega for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, respectively, in 1997. The Lost World: Jurassic Park is based on the film of the same name, which in turn is based on the novel by Michael Crichton. In 1998 a special edition of the game was released for the Sony PlayStation as a Greatest Hits title and featured several modifications to the gameplay.

What players say

A licensed dinosaur action-platformer with impressively immersive jungle atmosphere and roaring beasts, letting you play as both prey and predators like the T-rex. Ambitious but uneven, with awkward human controls and cheap, frustratingly difficult segments.
