~Jurassic Park

A Collection of Hints & Tips by Joe Bert Renfro III K.D., E.R.
                           (Killer of Dinosaurs, Eater of Ribs)


~T. Rex Paddock
~--------------

This is where the game begins, but Rex has flown the coop. If you
pick up the bullets you find when the game begins, press "I" for
Inventory to switch back to the cattle prod.  It works better for
the dragonflies you're about to encounter.  After you figure out
how to get out of the pit, make your way counter clockwise to
the first computer terminal.  Select Paddock Systems, and open
the bunker.   Make your way to the bunker, picking up Tim along
the way.  Try to ignore the spitters.  When you find the bunker,
grab the tool kit and head to the center-north of the screen.
There you'll find another pit, but this one  has a first aid kit
and a grated drain pipe.  Grab the first aid if you need
it, then head into the pipe.  Tim will wait for you outside.

Lex is in here.  Head due north.  At the first left, turn west
(left) and grab the I.D. in the dead end.  Go back east, and turn
left (north) at the passage you came in on.  Proceed north to the
next left (a "T" intersection) and turn left again (west).
Travel west past the first right (north) turn to the point where
the passage "L's" to the right (north).  You should find a crate
here.  Lex has broken her leg.  You have to push the crate into
the water, and "swim" it to her.  Head back the way you just came,
pushing the crate ahead of yourself.  Turn left at the north turn
you bypassed a moment ago.  (If you come to the "T" intersection,
you've gone too far.)  Now make your way in a clockwise direction
(sort of).  With a minor detour or two, you'll find Lex in the
north-east section of the screen.   She gets on the  crate, and
you "swim" her out, continuing in a clockwise direction.  (There
are two first aid kits along the way.  I suggest you walk through
a few times to learn the maze before you try to actually rescue
Lex.)  When you have the I.D. and Lex, and you are at the screen
where you came in, head south out of the pipe.  Tim will join you
again.

With both kids in tow, make your way north-east, to the gate.  If
you have both kids and the I.D., the gate will open up , and then
you'll transition to the Triceratops Paddock.

This is a schematic representation of the sewer.  I think it's
pretty accurate.  If you find any errors, let me know so I can
update it.  Just remember, after you get the crate, travel in a
basically clockwise direction to get her.  I usually go munched
when I traveled in the counter-clockwise direction.


~Triceratops Paddock
~-------------------

What happened to the kids?  Don't ask me.  You find them again on
the other side of the Stegasaur Paddock.  For now, galavant about
collecting fruit.  You need them to drug an enormous triceratops
adult in the north-west.  This takes some time, but be thorough.
If you're more than one flower short, you'll probably get squished.
Once you've collected the fruit and found the big triceratops, just
charge past it to the south.  You'll drop the goodies, and the dino
will dally long enough for you to duck out of the way to the east.

MAP is contained in a seperate file called JP-LEV2.MAP.

You're not through yet.  One more big dino guards another passage
to the far right of the screen.  But this time you don't have any
fruit.  Climb the rock wall at the eastern end of the screen.
Kill of the spitters on the wall, using your bullets and your
cattle prod.  (Bullets won't hit one persistent spitter to the
south of you who is a little bit higher, but you CAN zap has
noogies with the tazer!)  Now, gaze in awe at the dino to the east.
Imagine if you will the carnage that will ensue if you are not
careful.  How is your DNA level?  Do you feel strong?  If not,
hop back down to the west, find one of the two first aid kits in
this section (DON'T try to sneak out past the first big dino.
There are no more fruits with which to distract it!) One of the
kits is real close to you.  Fix yourself up, surmount the wall one
last time, then cast your frail body in an Errol Flynn manner
headlong into harms way.  The big triceratops will try to squish
you.  Dodge back and forth in front of it, causing it to knock
down the rock barricade to the south.  As soon it falls, run like
the dickens straight south, and jump into the nitch.  If you have
enough DNA remaining, jump down, travel west evading the spitters,
grab the I.D., then make your way east, turning north into the
bunker.


~Stegasaur Paddock
~-----------------

This is the first 3-D section of the game, but there are no raptors
here!  Head down the elevator, learn the maze, and find your way
back out to the 2-D game section.  This is where the trouble begins.

You need lots of blocks to get everywhere in this section.
Basically, make your way to the back of the paddock, crossing one
concrete suspension bridge, using the white cube-shaped stones to
get you up, AND DOWN, the cliffs.  (Push the stone off cliffs,
landing on it to get down.)  You'll end up finding the kids in the
north-west, near a second concrete bridge.


~Gallimimus Paddock
~------------------

If you're not careful, this is where you get eaten by T. Rex.  Turn
the sound way up the first time for the full effect.  You can climb
down into the canyon to the north, drop the kids off in the bunker,
and then figure out how to get them out, if you want.  Or you can
let them tag along, find your way into the canyon to the south,
and play through anyway.  It doesn't matter.  Or you can drop em
off in the bunker, and leave them there.  THAT doesn't matter!
Once you get into the spitter paddock to the far west, they
reappear again!

You have to make your way into the valley to the south.  There is
an easy way to get there, but the T. Rex is always waiting.  You'll
want to see your untimely death at least once, so here's how to do
it:  Get in the north canyon. Travel west past the bunker dropping
off the kids.  Continue west through the oncoming stampede.  At the
west end you discover you are in a box canyon.  Grab the first aid,
then head up the steps to the south and jump into the next canyon.
It doesn't matter what you do, now.  You'll get munched.  But it's
fun to watch.

Make your way west along the finger-like ridge.  You'll see some
bullets, which you should make your way down to grab, and an oil
drum.  Zap the red bees with the cattle prod, and push the oil
drum off the cliff to the south.Get in the north canyon. Travel
west past the bunker dropping off the kids.  Continue west
through the oncoming stampede.  At the west end you discover you
are in a box canyon.  Grab the first aid, then head up the steps
to the south and jump into the next canyon. The following T. Rex
evasion tactic comes from Janet Deacon CIS# 72114,1552, a third
degree black belt in Dino-kata:

"As for getting by the T-Rex,  I pick up the flares (I think you
might be able to use regular ammo), turn around to face him (east)
and keep firing until I kill a gallimimus right in front of him."
Apparently, Rex is diverted by the hot flesh, (what man wouldn't
be?)  You can go west (left) and end up in the dilophosaur paddock,
the kids magically at your side.  But you shouldn't.  Run to the
right (east)  Push the oil drum, which you knocked off the cliff a
few moments ago into the trench. It will break open, and you'll be
able to use it to climb out as you continue east (to the right).
Turn around, face west, and fire your flare into the oil to set it
ablaze, insulating you from T. Rex (insulated by fire!) You'll see
the I.D. on a cliff to the north.  Snake your way around and up,
snag it, continue clockwise to ta third valley to the south, let
the kids out of the tunnel, then continue west to the dilophosaur
paddock.

This is what I had to do:  With or without first dropping off the
kids at the bunker, make your way west along the finger-like ridge.
You'll see some bullets, which you should make your way down to
grab, and an oil drum.  Zap the red bees with the cattle prod, and
push the oil drum off the cliff to the south.  This next part is
tricky, and takes a lot of practice.  Walk the character to
the north-west edge of the cliff you're on (where the drum was,)
and make him "jump" down.  If he just drops off, he'll die, (and
so, vicariously, will you.)  You have to fiddle with the keys to
make him do it, but eventually he will.  Make your way to the
barrel, and push it into the canyon to the south. (You are now
east of the T. Rex, but don't worry.  He never shows up again.)
Push the oil drum into the trench to the east.  It will break
open, and you'll be able to use it to climb out as you continue
east (to the right). You'll see the I.D. card on a ledge to your
north.  Continue clockwise around the hill, past the door to the
tunnel, up the cliff face, and then back again counter-clockwise
to get the I.D.  Use it to open the tunnel door if you dropped
the kids off in the bunker.  Travel west, up either canyon you
now have access to (the most southerly is the safest.  There is
first aid hidden in a cave here.)  If you allowed yourself to be
eaten by T. Rex, you probably found the flares.  Depending upon
which route you chose, grab the flares or backtrack to them, then
continue west (left) to the spitter paddock.  Just before you get
there, if you travel clockwise around the hill, you'll find first
aid and ammo in the box canyon.  But you probably don't need
these.

(There is a purpose for the flares.  Run back to the trench where
you spilled the oil, and fire a flare into it.  A fire will erupt.
This MUST be for distracting T.Rex once you have run by him.  If
this is true, then there's proably an easier way to get into the
southern canyon than trying to jump off that cliff where the oil
drum was originally.  But I haven't been able to figure it out.
Perhaps if you wait long enough, T. Rex just runs past you and
then you dart in and get the flares.  I dunno.)


~Dilophasaur Paddock #1 (Spitters by the hundreds!)
~--------------------------------------------------

The scene changes to the Spitter Paddock, but you don't get a
password.  If you meet your third death here, you have to start
all over again in the Gallimimus Paddock, with that long leap to
negotiate again.  So be careful.  Drop the kids off at the
Visitors' Center Main Gate a little ways to the west.  Then
travel south and duck under the fence before cross over the
bridge,.  You need to push the block to get out of the ditch.
Use the zapper.

There are two ways to get through here.  If you turn south just
after you get under the fence, you can jump in the river, swim
across, climb into the raft and paddle east, bypassing the rest
of this paddock along with the next two.  If that's what you want
to do, skip ahead in this document to the 2nd spitter section.
We're going to work our way east along the north bank of the river.
You'll eventually cross the river to the east on an earthen bridge.
(There are two here. Continue east. DON'T take the one which goes
to the right!) Then immediately cross back on a third bridge to get
to the computer terminal.  Unlock the bunker door, then work your
way carefully along the north bank of the river until you come to
the Pteradon Dome.  Travel counter-clockwise around  the base of
the hill.  When you see the Pteradon Dome door on the hill above
you, work your way south, then west to find the open bunker.  Take
the I.D., work your way clockwise to the west side of the hill upon
which stands the Pteradon Dome, climb up the hill, and use the I.D.
to open the door you saw a moment ago.


`Pteradon Dome #1
`----------------

You're going to work your way in a circle clockwise around this
level of the dome.  An I.D. is hidden under some eggs in a dino
nest.  The location of the I.D. varies, so you'll have to search
each time.  Break the eggs by shooting or zapping them.  You need
the I.D. to exit through the door on the other side.


~Brachiosaur Paddock #1
~----------------------

There's no password for this level.  On your third death, you have
to go back to the Pteradon Dome.  Walk down the stairs, then travel
south-east along the river bank until you come to a bridge.  There
are a lot of spitters here, but if you just charge past them you
can make it unscathed. Cross the bridge to the north side of the
river, then travel east  until you come to the computer terminal.
Unlock the Pteradon Dome door, then jump down toward the fence.
Travel east to where the dino embryos are strewn about.  Collect
them all, then grab the I.D. next to Dennis' wrecked jeep.  Use
the I.D. to open the gate, and scoot into the open Pteradon Dome
door before it closes on you.  If you're too slow, the door will
close and you'll have to climb the hill at the top of the screen
and negotiate your way through the Brachiosaur Paddock again.


~Pteradon Dome #2  (bottom floor)
~--------------------------------

There is no password for this level, so once again its back to the
top floor if you eat it three times here.  Climb the hill to your
west, knock down one of the white blocks, and use it to scale the
hill at the back (north) of the dome.  Wend your way counter
clockwise, until you come to the retracted drawbridge.  Kill the
resident spitter, then continue west to the control panel. (The
lighted panel to the left of the bridge near the waterline IS NOT
the control panel.)  Zap it or shoot it.  Sparks will fly, you
will hear the sound of electric motors, and the bridge has become
extended.  Run east back to the bridge, cross over it heading
south, then travel west as far as you can go.  You'll then snake
your way into a box canyon, in the far west of which you will
discover one of those white boulders.  Push it south, climb over
the hill, then rush west through the tunnel, back into the
Spitter Paddock.


~Dilophasaur Paddock #2
~----------------------

There's no password for this level, either.  Snake your way west
as far as you can go.  This maze is a lot easier than it looks.
There are lots of first aid kits along the way.  You have to pass
a hill which is unclimbable, snake your way west some more, and
you'll finally come to the raft... yes!  It's the same raft you
could have climbed into when you first escaped from old T. Rex
and dropped the kids off at the Visitors' Center Main Gates!

Jump into the water, climb aboard the raft, and paddle downstream
(east), paralleling the same route you took to get into the
Pteradon Dome the first time.  (You could just jump into the raft,
cross the river, get out of the raft, and run back to the
Visitors' Center Main Gate where you left the kids.  But that
won't work.  The gates won't open unless you ride the raft down-
stream.) You'll eventually be carried back into the...


~Pteradon Dome #3
~----------------

Wend your way eastward, dodging spitballs and Ichthyosaurs and
dagger like rocks.  When you see the waterfalls, work your way
to the low point on the south shore.  Land the raft, get out,
climb the boulder to your east and get the first aid,  Climb
back down to the other side, assassinate the resident spitter,
and climb back into the raft which has safely negotiated the
rapids by itself.  Now wend your way carefully again, and if
you're lucky you will pass into the Brachiosaur Paddock again.


~Brachiosaur Paddock #2
~----------------------

Lucky?  Whaddaya mean, lucky?  Well, this time you get a
password.  You'll never have to tromp through that that
guano-covered dino-aviary again!  Continue west, getting out of
the raft at the island with the Computer Terminal Unlock the
gate, get back in the raft, work your way to the low spot
on the north shore, get out of the raft, travel east to the
bridge, and cross to the south side of the river.  This whole
area should be pretty familiar, but this is the last tiome you
have to negotiate it.  Travel west.  When you get to the hill,
turn south, and go through the open gate.


~Dilophasaur Paddock #3
~----------------------

This is your third trip through this paddock, each time without
a password.  Travel west along the ridge, jumping down to the
north at the first hint of danger (It's covered with spitters!)
Continue to work your way west, until you pass the hill with the
computer terminal.  Work your way counter-clockwise around it,
shove the block you find over to it's base, then climb up to the
terminal.   Zap the spitter, unlock the gate, climb down, run
the gauntlet to the west, then pass through the open gate.
Three more spitters lie ahead.  You'll pass the ditch you
climbed throuh to get into the Dilophasaur Paddock the first
time.  Cross over that bridge, and the Main Gates will be wide
open with the kids waiting for you.  (You don't actually have
the recquisite I.D. I think Dennis' I.D. was the one next to the
jeep where you found the embryos.  But the point is moot, because
the gate is open!)


~Visitors' Center
~----------------

Captain!  There be velociraptors here!  And I have as yet to get
through!  To make your system run faster, press escape and lower
some of the Detail settings.  Press "M" to examine the progress
map occasionally... but basically, you're on your own here!

Notes: Thanks to Janet Deacon for the T. Rex notes.  Pete Durr says
you can beep the jeep in the triceratops paddock, causing the baby
tri-tops to ram it, knocking it over, and spilling useful stuff on
the ground.

The maps in this walkthrough were written with ASCII characters,
and look pretty good the way I made 'em.  They get transposed when
posted to CIS.  I hope the maps make sense to you.  They look REAL
good on my computer.
