Jurassic Park is a 1994 rail shooter video game developed by Sega AM3 and published by Sega for arcades, based on the 1993 film of the same name. The player(s), equipped with the joystick(s), must shoot dinosaurs that appear on-screen throughout the game. The game's graphics blend two-dimensional sprites and three-dimensional polygons to give the sense of movement, making it the first game of its genre to include 3D environments. The arcade cabinet resembles the rear of the first-gen Ford Explorer XLT tour vehicles used in the film. The game includes a moving seat, also used in Sega's 1991 light gun shooter Rail Chase. The seat is powered by hydraulic pistons to move the seat according to action on the screen.

The game was followed by two arcade sequels: The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997, and Jurassic Park III in 2001. Another arcade game, titled Jurassic Park Arcade, was released in 2015 and is based on the first three films in the Jurassic Park series.
