1. LAYIN' DOWN DA LAW!
NO-ONE MAY PUT THIS ON THEIR SITE WITHOUT
MY DUE PERMISSION! Failure to do so will result in me
getting out the chainsaw which I hold so dear and chopping
off hands and fingers!!!

I have had walkthroughs stolen before, but now I am getting nasty!
I used to review games, I was a reporter for a website- I know what I
have to do if anyone steals my work. And my friends a solicitor
(lawyer to americans!). She informs me that if you value the money
you earn, you must not steal other peoples works!

2. ABOUT JP3
Jurassic Park 3 did not do very well despite being a million times better than THE LOST WORLD.
But it has spawned a lot of spin-offs, JP3: PARK BUILDER for the GBA being my personal fave.
Yep, think THEME PARK with dinosaurs! It's such a cheap, obvious rip off it HAD to work! it has
given me sleepless nights trying to prevent a full-scale Gigantosaurus rampage and made me laugh
when I find out my mystery DNA is from a T-Rex!

if you like Theme Park or Sim City and have a GBA, this is the game for you. Fun, thought
provoking and it really makes you wonder- what would you do if T-Rex's rampaged your park?

3. THE MAIN MENUS

The menu systems are brought up by using L and R.
L= MANAGEMENT MENU
This menu lets you control your park, breed Dinos and exchange Dinos.

MAIN OFFICE: This is where you advertise, save, set your entry fee and sort out the parks
transportation system. The heart of the operation.

EXCAVATION: This lets you send out excavation teams to find dino fossils, amber and the like
so you can make dinos and extinct animals from ancient eras!

RESEARCH LAB: Check amber/fossils, make dinos, check DNA... the science stuff. (Dinos cost
5000G to make)

DINO ILLUSTRATION: Check dinos you have made. Simple stuff really.

EXCHANGE: Link-up and trade dinos!

R= CONSTRUCTION MENU
This menu lets you actually build your park!

CONSTRUCTION MODE
Lots of little sub menus to construct your park!
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
ROADS: (Speaks for itself)
Vehicle Road= 100G (For your busses to get to and from your gate)
Walking Path= 100G (This is what you'll be laying most of! Pedestrian pathways!)
Rotary= 2000G (For busses to turn- essential but you will rarely need more than one)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
FACILITIES: (Lifes little luxuries if you want them!)
Street Lamp= 3000G (You will need some of these, but place them sparingly!)
Water Fountain= 3000G (Use in the centre of a square for added effect!)
Clock Tower= 3500G (Tells the time, but do you want visitors to do that???)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
VEGETATION: (Plants are necessary to you park for all sorts of reasons!)
Tree= 80G (A basic, dull tree. Use to enclose squares and walkways.)
Grass= 90G (Grass. What can you say about long grass?)
Lotus= 110G (A basic, but pretty and uplifting plant for long stretches of path!)
Cycad= 130G (A very big tree, place next to Brachiosaurus pens for added show!)
Ancient Cedar= 1500G (An expensive tree, but place one or two as features...)
Boulder= 180G (It isn't a plant, but protects areas from little escaped dinos.)
Large Boulder= 2000G (Great, inpenetrable boulder. Use to protect valuable areas!)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
SYMBOL: (Statues!)
Goddess Statue= 30000G (A religious statue. Use when you got lotsa cash!)
Stone Raptor= 50000G (Expensive stone statue of a Raptor. Your choice...)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
BUILDINGS: (Here we go...)
Hotel= 50000G (Expensive, but necessary! Keep the price fairly low!)
Shop= 40000G (Souvenir shop. Also a good profit-making idea!)
Enclosure= 25000G (Pens to put dinos in.)
RESTAURANTS-
REX Burger= 30000G (A fast-food joint!)
Spino Grill= 48000G (A nice, posh restaurant!)
Pteranodon Cafe= 42000G (A cafe with a lot going for it.)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
REMOVAL: (80G to remove placed items!)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

FULL MAP
This mode lets you see the island from an arial view. Check out how much land has
been used, how much is free, where potential problems are etc.

FACILITY MANAGEMENT
Upgrading facilities is a must for customers. Small, boring stores/hotels/restaurants
will not empty consumer wallets. Also change rates, and check out other small options.

4. BASIC MANAGEMENT TIPS

OK, to start you off I'm gonna tell you what to do first, step by step.

* You start off with a million. Be warned, it don't last long...
* Send out an excavation team for 3 months to anywhere. they'll find tons of fossils
for you to get DNA from!
* Build a road up from the gate, and fit a ROTARY for the busses to turn.
* Build a hotel. And a restaurant. Shops at this time are not neccessary!
* Advertise your park on SEARCH ENGINE REX. It's cheap.
* Build some walking paths, allowing room for Dino Enclosures. But don't build any
enclosures until you have dinos to put in them.
* If people are coming, build a shop.
* When excavation team gets back, check their efforts, make some dinos and get them into
the park FAST! Advanced Dino Management tips in section 6.
* Send out excavation team for 1 month anywhere.
* Spruce your park up with plants and trees.

After this, it's up to you.

5. CONSTRUCTION TIPS

OK, here are some features you might wanna consider.

ROUNDABOUT
Use: When you have more than one hotel!
Why?: Busses can turn off to other stopping points.
How?: Two rotaries. Simple enough to do.

THE PICNIC SQUARE
Use: To make consumers rest and relax.
Why?: It's pretty and people will stop there to relax.
How?: Place a WATER FOUNTAIN and build WALKING PATH around it.

NATURE WALK
Use: To give visitors exercise!
Why?: Placing food at the end of it brings in money! Also looks nice.
How?: Pathway with plants beside it (about 10-15 path pieces long!). Place a RESTAURANT
at the end of the walk. They'll be hungry and buy food and drink!

KIDDIES KORNER
Use: Coz kids come to the park as well!
Why?: Happy kids mean happy parents. Happy people spend happy money.
How?: Build a small 4X4 square of path. Surround with little boulders (or large ones for
added security!). Kids will play there. Add a REX Burger there too for extra money
making profit! tip- keep it as far from dino enclosures as possible...

TREE MAZE
Use: For pure entertainment.
Why?: People like mazes. They are fun.
How?: Make a multi-path maze (not too complex!). Line the sides with trees. For some
extra enjoyment, add a Raptor Statue or Goddess statue in the middle. Happy people.

DINO TRAIL
Use: People are coming to see the dinos dammit!
Why?: Otherwise they can't see the dinos!
How?: Build a basic zoo trail. Put dino enclosures 1 tile away from the path. Security.
Now add dinos and watch people point, stare and enjoy your dinos!

6. ADVANCED MANAGEMENT TIPS

* Keep your entry fee and hotel fee level. 1000G is normally OK for the beginners.
* Keep dino enclosure security at max to avoid breakouts.
* Don't place dinos until you are making a profit.
* Dino rampages are not good news... boulders can protect people.
* Dying dinos are not good for business so keep them happy and healthy!
* Ocean animals die fast. So beware of that... they only live 2-3 months...
* Charge a lot for food. About 1/3 your hotel fee for REX Burger, 1/2 for the
grill and cafe.
* Use my construction tips wisely. They are there to keep people happy and to make
you money!
* Until you are making a good profit, do not place statues.
* Start advertising on the cheap. Work your way up. The most expensive advertising isn't
100% reliable anyway! Just coz it costs more, doesn't mean it's better value.
* ALWAYS have your restaurants upgraded to 5*. Hygiene costs, but it emptys walllets
much faster!
* Keep tabs on your shop. If people can't find what they want it's not in it's line up,
so build another shop and stock that item they want in.
* Never place carnivores together in the same enclosure, and do not place herbivores in
with carnivores (makes sense when you think about it!)
* You can keep 3 herbivore dinos in the same enclosure, but be careful.
* Ancient bugs can go anywhere. They only feed on the dinos blood. They don't do much
damage. So don't keep bugs in their own enclosure- it's a waste of money!
* Be wary of T-Rex's and Gigantosauruses. And keep their enclosures at max security.
* Same for raptors. Be careful. Max security tho doesn't always help... but they are
deterred by small boulders! And never place long grass near a raptor pen. Otherwise
you won't know they escaped until it's too late!
* Finally, when you do something right and there are no angry bubbles on people, SAVE!
It's hard to keep the fickle public happy. When you do you are on a roll and should save
in case something goes hideously wrong!

7. FAQ
Oh sweet mother Mary! I mention to people I am doing this FAQ and they bombard me
with a variety of questions!

Q. Can you emulate it?
A: Yes, but do note GBA emulation is far from perfect.

Q. Can you speed the time lapse up?
A: Yes, go to MAIN OFFICE and crank up the time speed.

Q. How many dinosaurs are there?
A: 150 and 1 secret one allegedly (hmm... seems familiar...)

Q. Can I get out of 1,000,000G debt?
A: A MILLION?!?! Err... I doubt it...

Q. Dinos have broken loose! What do I do?
A: If it's some herbivores or bugs don't panic. If it's a T-Rex, raptor or a
gigantosarus it's Game Over unless you have got superb security!

Q. Any secret name entry cheats?
A: Try "Isla Nublar" for different island terrain.

Q. Why do angry people leave?
A: Is that a question? Umm... because they are angry? Learn from their thought
bubbles. You can correct those problems.

Q. How do you finish the game?
A: I have lasted 3 years in this game. So I haven't finished it. But goddammit I
swear I will NEVER let this game beat me- NEVER!!!!

Q. People invaded my island. What happened?
A: Umm... never seen that, but it might be thieves trying to get your dino DNA to
start a rival park (Hint- JP1 and JP2!). Deter them by blocking their docking points
with Large Boulders.

Q: I've taken all your hints and I still get into serious debt. HELP!
A: Take these hints in MODERATION. Don't place them all at once... gently flesh out
your park over time. Slow and steady wins the race!

8. CONTACT ME!
OK, Stalkers do not read this section coz if you persue me I will have to resort to
nasty things like trojans to get rid of you... don't waste my time.

OK, my e-mail address is kamikazekintaro@aladdinscave.net - I have rules about mailing
me to help me filter the ton of mail I get daily!:-

	*No flames. All flames get directed either to my deleted items folder or they
	 are posted in my forums for people to take the mickey out of!

	*Don't say, "Sorry to waste your time but" or something similar to it. You are
	 not wasting my time. I enjoy getting your mail and I enjoy replying. It's fun!
	 If you need the help, I am always more than willing to give it.

	*Please for gods sake don't abuse me. If I do not reply to your mail you either
	 flamed me and got ignored or it's been answered in the FAQ in this walkthrough!
	 Phrases like "You b*****d you never replied to me!" are generally put in my
	 forums and they are pointed and laughed at!

	*Do not use my address to sign up to anything- you won't believe how many times
	 people have done that and it pisses me off to a point I can't describe. I will
	 report you to wherever you used my e-mail address and you will be removed!

	*Finally, do NOT ever ever EVER use my address to spam my inbox with useless junk
	 I won't ever read. One, stealing e-mail addys like that is an offence! And two,
	 I get 100 mails a day and I don't need any more!!
