Also released by Appaloosa Interactive in 1997 was a 16-bit version for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis. This game, completely different from the 32-bit version, featured an isometric point of view, and gameplay-wise was not unlike the Jurassic Park game for the SuperNintendo.

* JustEatHim: The Rex's lunge grabs smaller prey in its mouth, where it can either be tossed, slammed to the ground, or swallowed whole.
* KillerRabbit: The Compy is cute but deadly, as are several of the enemies it faces.
* LightningBruiser: The Raptor is fast, strong, and has a variety of attacks.

* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Fall damage is merciless.

There are five playable characters: the [[FragileSpeedster Compsognathus]], the [[MultiRangedMaster Human Hunter]], the [[LightningBruiser Velociraptor]], the [[MightyGlacier T. rex]], and [[TheCameo Sarah Harding]]. Players face off against a wide range of environmental obstacles, other dinosaurs, and humans in a fairly non-linear storyline.

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: The Raptor's levels "The Burn Zone", "Into The Fire", and especially its boss level "Eye Of Chaos" -- where it fights a ''Euoplacephalus'' -- all take place during a forest fire. The first two Rex levels, "Aftermath" and "Force Of Nature", take place in the fire's aftermath, but there are patches of cinders that can literally burn through your health.

'''The Lost World: Jurassic Park''' is a 1997 side-scrolling platformer action-adventure ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' game developed by Creator/DreamWorksInteractive for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation and Appaloosa Interactive for the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn, adapted from the [[Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark film of the same name]]. In 1998, a modified special edition was released that added bonus content. The soundtrack is notable not only for being one of the earliest video game soundtracks to feature recorded orchestral instruments instead of MIDI or other synthetic music files, but also one of the first composed by Music/MichaelGiacchino, who would later return to the franchise with ''Film/JurassicWorld''.

* {{Backtracking}}: Of a sort: the Human Hunter level begins where the Compy level ends and the Raptor level begins where the Human Hunter level ends.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: The Raptor's levels The Burn Zone, Into The Fire, and especially its boss level Eye Of Chaos, where it fights a ''Euoplacephalus'', all take place during a forest fire. The first two Rex levels, Aftermath and Force Of Nature, take place in the fire's aftermath, but there are patches of cinders that can literally burn through your health.

** The platforming sections in the Human Hunter levels have stalagmites that do the same thing as the Compy's plants.

* ForMassiveDamage: Pouncing on an opponent from behind as the Raptor will knock enemies of a similar size to the ground and pin them, enabling you to gut them with your talons or rip their throat out.

** The ''Compsognathus'' intro in particular includes {{Foreshadowing}} for the ''Brachiosaurus'' level and a BreakingTheFourthWall joke.
** The Human Hunter's intro's scanning of [=InGen=]'s employee database has the job descriptions get ridiculous, with "Brown, M." being listed as "Lord of the Dance", "[[Franchise/DocSavage Savage, Doc]]" being listed as "Mighty Adventurer", and "Piaseckyj P." being listed as a possible [=BioSyn=] spy.

* MirrorMatch: The Deinonychus enemies are simply weaker pallet swaps of the Velociraptor.
* MonstrousCannibalism: While ''Deinonychus'' are the enemies of the second and third Raptor levels, the fourth Raptor level pits you against other ''Velociraptors'', which you have to eat to regain health.

** ''Parasuchus'' - referred to as ''Barasuchus'' (not actually a dinosaur)

* UnderTheSea: The second-last of the Compy's levels, Beneath the Surface, take place in a swamp, where there is constant danger of running out of air and getting nommed on by ''Parasuchus''.

** ''Parasuchus'' (not actually a dinosaur)

* TheBerserker: During the dinosaur stages, the game rewards this with an "Instinct Gauge" in the shape of an eye. Killing every enemy you come across in rapid succession will cause the eye to go from green with a round pupil to [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] with a [[HellishPupils slitted pupil]] and increase the damage done. However, if you stop fighting then the gauge will gradually decrease and the eye will go back to green.

This is [[BrickJoke referenced during the end-game cutscene]], where the camera pans over a pair of raptors before panning up to show the boy on the moon.
* MightyRoar: The dinosaurs can be made to roar.... well, the Raptor can be made to caw and the Compy doesn't really do anything, but the Rex...
