The Jurassic Park System was a collection of networked computers and software that formed the control systems for Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar. The overdependance on automation proved to be the achilles heel of Jurassic Park and factored heavily in its downfall.
The Nedryland program was developed by Dennis Nedry as a means of displaying visual output for the system user. It ran on System 7.
