What is the best dinosaur based game?

It's radical.
 
Operation Genesis is the best answer.

Trespasser for an honourable mention, though. That game was the epitome of a flawed masterpiece, for me.
 
Another signal boost for Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. Great little park simulator and you can even play god in a dino free roam island if you wish. For something a little more action oriented...

We really need more dinosaur games.

Yoshi has some pretty good games. He's a dinosaur, though sometime's it's easy to forget. Tyrantrum is pretty awesome in Pokemon too.
 
I'm also repping Monster Hunter. Not all of the monsters are dinosaurs, but the first few usually are. The first bits of Tri where you step out onto the Deserted Island gave me major Jurassic Park vibes.
 
Depending on how much you want the Jurassic Park stuff, Trespasser is pretty awesome just for the voice overs and seeing places like Wu's office and Hammond's bungalow even if they're pretty barren. Go into it knowing it's not a good video game and you might have a good time.

Yeah the best way to enjoy Trespasser is more like an experience. Due to the game being rushed. With a cheats/trainer it can be an enjoyable stroll.
 
Sega The Lost World Arcade is the way to go if you want the best Jurrasic Park experience in a game.
This game in vr would be gtrat
 
Since we're really stretching the dinosaur genre here, I'd definitely like to mention TMNT: Tournament Fighters on SNES. Lots of depth, much better than most fighting games of that era, even compared to the arcade. SNES is superior to genesis version.


And there's a dinosaur-looking dude.

If you want to stretch it even further, Halo also has dinosaur enemies :)

N64 Turoks suck and have like 2 meters draw distance. Most of us were young and just enjoyed everything we got to play but let's be real - there's a good reason these games didn't go down as shooter classics. They're really fucking bad.

Good dinosaur game:
