Jurassic Park III: Park Builder is a construction and management simulation game for the Game Boy Advance that was developed by Konami and released in 2001.
Jurassic Park III: Park Builder challenges the player to design and run an island-based Jurassic Park theme park, similar to Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. The player must first send an excavation team to one of eight worldwide locations to search for fossilized mosquitoes that contain dinosaur DNA, which is then used to create dinosaurs.
The player can place structures in the park such as hotels, restaurants and shops. Hurricanes and earthquakes can damage the park's buildings. The player must advertise the park in order to attract more customers. Visitors to the park must view the dinosaurs while riding on tour buses. The player begins with three buses and can purchase more later.
The player is given a maximum of eight holding pens for however many dinosaurs the park may have. There are six different environments on the island, including jungles, a beach, plains, and a desert. Dinosaurs can become ill and require medical attention. To keep them healthy, the dinosaurs are placed in environments that closely resemble their natural habitat.
The game features 140 creatures, including Brachiosaurus, Mosasaurus, Pteranodon, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. The dinosaurs, depending on their size and aggression, are grouped into six categories: three for carnivores and three for herbivores.
