The chance of finding fossils depends on the quality of the site.

Fossils of some dinosaurs, such as Brachiosaurus, can be found in more than one dig site. Each dig site contains fossils from three particular dinosaurs. Additional dig teams can be purchased later in the game. To obtain fossils and amber, the player must send a fossil-hunting team to dig in one of nine dig sites around the world.

Higher quality specimens will yield more DNA. To obtain a dinosaur's DNA, the player must extract it through fossils or amber. The higher the percentage of DNA, the longer that dinosaur will live, unless it dies by means other than natural causes, such as malnutrition or being attacked by another dinosaur. Likewise, carnivores have an innate desire to hunt other dinosaurs, so even a constant stream of livestock will not keep them happy.To create a dinosaur, fifty percent (50%) of the particular dinosaur's DNA is needed. However, herbivores become unhappy if they don't have enough trees around them or enough nearby dinosaurs to socialize with. It is necessary to build feeding stations where herbivores can get bales of plant feed, while carnivores are fed live cows or goats. Gameplay functions are very similar to the SimCity and Tycoon game models. Gameplay- The player's main objective is to create a theme park/zoo featuring dinosaurs, make it popular, and make it safe with a 5-star rating. The player can also add attractions similar to those seen in the films, such as the safari seen in the first Jurassic Park film from 1993, and additional attractions such as a balloon tour and several varieties of viewing platform. The park can be populated with up to sixty dinosaurs with twenty-five different species available from the three Jurassic Park films. One must also keep the park safe and secure. In the park, the player builds restaurants, restrooms, and attractions for up to 100 visitors. The main point of the game is to recreate a prehistoric theme park and zoo named Jurassic Park - building a five-star theme park with dinosaurs, and turning John Hammond's dream into reality. It was released for Windows, Xbox, and PlayStation 2. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis is a construction and management simulation video game based on the Jurassic Park series developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and co-published by Universal Interactive and Konami.
