First | Next | End

Pteranodon

The pterodactyls will fly around in the background before eventually flying above your car. Be ready to shoot them down, especially if they're about to divebomb into your car.

When the Pteranodon shows up, keep shooting at it. This will cause it drop the rock that it is about to drop on your car early, then keep shooting it as it divebombs so it doesn't hit you.

In the action stage, you'll have to go through a series of doorways to get to the upper-left corner, take the zipline, and head to the next area. Thankfully, figuring out which doors take your where isn't particularly difficult. Just watch out if you approach the left side of the screen, as spitters will show up and try to hit you with their projectiles. If you see one show up, duck and shoot with the shotgun so the projectiles go right over your head.

The Jurassic Park icon is a commemorative coin that gives you a few thousand points, according to the manual.

While using the platforms that move back and forth, you may have to duck under ceilings as well as climb on ceilings in order to stay on the platform or keep up with it. Remember that you can press Down on the D-Pad to drop back down onto the platform from the ceiling.

When you reach the zipline, watch out for boulders. Hold Up while you jump to grab the zipline, and don't press Down until it comes to a complete stop. Once you take the zipline, you could go back to the exit, but you can also explore the area below where you land for an extra life and a first aid kit. Keep climbing across the ceiling to get the extra life, and use the rocks to make your way back.

In the second action area, equip the rocket launcher and fire at the pterodactyls when they dive at you. Eventually, the ground will start lowering, and you'll need to keep moving in order to get through this part without losing a life.

To beat the Pteranodon, equip the rocket launcher and be ready to fire at the Pteranodon when it is above you. The Pteranodon may dive at you; the rocket launcher is perfect for a counter-attack. Remember that you can grab onto the undersides of the tree branches and pull yourself up in order to keep up with the slowly scrolling screen.. If you have to duck and shoot when the Pteranodon gets too close, do it. It'll keep the Pteranodon away for a short while. Eventually, it will go down, and you'll have two stages left.
