Goals of the Game
The object of the game is to revive extinct dinosaurs and raise them in a park. The goal of the park is up to you: recover every species of dinosaur, become a millionaire, or even create a park where there are only pterodactyls.
However, if you manage your park poorly, the game will be over at the end of the month if you go bankrupt. Also, the game will end automatically after 20 years. Using the Game Boy® Advance Game Link® Cable, you can trade dinosaur DNA blocks, so you can cooperate with friends to gather the rarest dinosaur DNA.
