Universal Interactive Studios announced the development of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, a theme park simulation game based on the Jurassic Park franchise.
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis was released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, allowing players to build and manage their own Jurassic Park theme park.
Scientists successfully extract and begin sequencing dinosaur DNA as the foundation for creating living dinosaurs.
The Operation Genesis team is formed to build a dinosaur theme park using recovered dinosaur DNA.
The laboratory creates the first viable dinosaur embryos, marking a breakthrough in cloning technology.
The first dinosaur enclosure is completed and populated with cloned dinosaurs, opening for initial testing of habitats.
The first cloned dinosaur is hatched successfully within the fenced habitat, signaling progress in the park's development.
Main visitor facilities including visitor centers, roads, and viewing platforms are completed and tested.
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis officially opens to visitors for the first time, showcasing live dinosaurs in a controlled environment.
A T-Rex escapes its enclosure causing widespread panic and damage, leading to enhanced security protocols.
Additional dinosaur species such as the Velociraptor and Stegosaurus are cloned and integrated into existing habitats.
After incidents, park security and management systems are upgraded to prevent further dinosaur escapes.
