Introduction

 

            Imagine a world where time had no meaning.  Where dinosaurs ruled.  Then imagine human interaction on the world.  The humans build massive parks to display massive beasts in their everyday life.

 

            Build, Manage, Enjoy.

Advisors Introduction
 
  John Hammond:      He Owns InGen. He tells when the report is ready and when the park gains or loses a star.  He can get annoying but what can you do?
  
  Peter Ludlow:   He is like your Financial Advisor.  He tells you if you get in debt or what not.
 
  Allen Grant:    He manages the dig site teams.  He will tell you if you find a new fossil.  He is really handy not
 
  Jane Powers:   She only tells you that a visitor didnt see any dinosaurs so they left.  Her job isnt that important and she may want to get a life ya
 
  Ray Arnold:   Ray tells you when a building (or fence) needs fixed.  Hes really handy if you have hungry carnivores looking for a snack if you catch my drift.
 
  Rob Muldoon:      He is the head ranger and manages the safari and balloon rides.
 
  Dr. Henry Wu:     He tells when DNA extraction is finished.  Not really important to me.
 
  Dr. Ellie Sattler:  She says that your andimals died Sob
 
 
 
 
 
 
Visitor Relations
 
    There are four types of visitors that come to the park you have built.  They each want something else and to raise your rating you will have to please them all, not just one type. These categories are:
 
Dino-Nerds:  Of course you are going to get this type.  These are the ones who want the dinos from the same time together.  If they dont get their way they will leave or complain.
 
Fun Seekers:  They want to have fun.  They enjoy friendly herbivores socializing and playing.
 
Trill-Seekers:  To please these visitors show them carnivores, carnivores, and more carnivores.  The more havoc they cause the more these visitors are pleased, unless it kills a human of course.
 
Main Stream:  These want all of the above.  They want age correctness, roaming herbivores, and frightening carnivores.  You will get more of these than any of the other three types.

        -Diseases
 
There are many diseases that your Dinos can get that will eventually spread and kill them. There are two ways to heal them before that happens though. One is to vaccinate them in the hatchery.  The other is to shoot them with a dart with medication in it.  And of course you can retire them if it is too much trouble.
 
There are a few glitches in the game that can be considered diseases.  One of them is the Cleaner Syndrome. This happens when your large carnivores attack a cleaner.  Symptoms are that they are frozen though may still move but location wont change.  Cure: Sedate the animal; save; reset; reload the game.
