I played the Genesis Jurassic Park so much I could beat it in under 15 minutes, both with Grant and the raptor. That game ruled.

I have very fond memories of the Sega Genesis Jurassic Park game, despite it being hard as poo poo, terrible to control, and probably one of the most esoteric final boss solutions I have ever seen.

I can't remember if it was Grant or the Raptor, but, wow, I played that final section so much just due to there being no real indication I was supposed to go for -that- hitbox, and probably not much indication that I was hitting it.

If there's one thing I learned in college back when I downloaded pretty much every old SNES/NES/Sega rom there was is that the majority of old games were pretty loving bad.

I played the Genesis JP game for so many hours as a kid... christ. It was my go-to game for a couple of years, and though I beat it plenty of times with the Raptor, I can't remember ever beating it as Grant. I just looked up the final level on youtube and... what the gently caress.

I thought the genesis Jurassic Park was way better than the SNES version. I never did play the genesis sequel though. However I did play the SNES sequel and it was hard as gently caress but it was fantastic. It had some loving awesome music.

Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition on Genesis was pretty fun side-scroller type game. Operation Genesis on PC and The Lost World arcade game, are probably the only other two JP games I'd recommend.

True. I always wonder how many of those games, if revisited by programmers who had the time to fix hit detection, wonky physics, poor timing, and anything else that has to be sacrificed for time or budget, would actually be really fun. I suspect quite a lot more than are currently enjoyable.

Grizzled Patriarch: Mar 27, 2014; These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.

If we don't get another Project Genesis, maybe Capcom will ride the film's coattails and make another (good) Dino Crisis. I still don't think I've ever seen a series with such a disappointing trajectory. Dino Crisis 3 was so, so bad.

Going back to the survival horror roots with a modern game engine would be pretty amazing.

I think the novelty of playing as the raptor alone put the Genesis version above the SNES.

The Lost World Genesis game is a pretty fun 2 player top-down shooter. One of the last games to be released on the system too and because of that it looks quite nice for a Genesis game.

Very true, but but the music was baller.

I mean it was really good.

The wildly different sequel The Chaos Continues had some great music as well.

I always roll my eyes at people who talk about how great old video game music is, but drat, if this were higher fidelity I could easily see it being some sort of current track of Com Truise or whoever does 80s throwback electro stuff these days.

Bonus points for having the chameleon Carnotaurus from the novel as a boss in the game, as well.

I spent so many hours playing Jurassic Park for the original Game Boy. It's basically a scaled down version of the SNES game without the FPS indoor bits, but to this day I can still whistle the level 1 music.

Edit-- turns out the NES version had the same music!

I'd never actually played this version or heard its music, that is pretty good stuff. The T. Rex theme honestly sounds like it would almost fit in Unreal 1.

I played the Genesis version to death, and my favorite music from it was the Visitor's Center theme. It's got a very different feel to it from the rest of the game's music, and I rather like it.

Oddly enough, that wasn't the only JP game to feature The disappearing Carnotaurus, though I never played it myself.

The Game Gear JP1 game I have very strong memories of, however. It was a little touch, but I loved how in that game all your ammo was nonlethal, and would show you capturing the bosses after being defeated.

I'm not sure when they came up exactly, but the Jurassic World viral site has a few more sections than the last time I looked: info on all the attractions, ticket packages, and shirts you can buy, including one for the T. Rex Kingdom.

No idea why I haven't been following the thread considering I got a loving Jurassic Park tattoo the other day. But if you guys didn't know there's a completely new arcade machine out. Haven't seen it in the wild yet besides under plastic wrap in photos.

(Concept art, but that's exactly how it came out)

they'll go bananas over spliced dinosaurs. But what I really want is the dinosaur equivalent of this

T-Rex head, Ankylosaurus body.

Timby posted:

It's a mix between a Triceratops and a Stegosaurus. I think most people accepted it as a normal dinosaur at first.

I still have all my JP stuff in a box. I could probably break out a bunch of them over the weekend and take photos and poo poo.

Jurassic Park toys were the best thing ever when I was a kid. Firing missiles, biting electronic dinosaurs with CAPTURE GEAR, dinosaurs and vehicles with DINO DAMAGE, hell yeah. :krad:

Kenner was the best company for movie toys if you were an 80s/90s kid. Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Terminator, Aliens/Predator, they had everything and they were all fun as hell for kids.

Some of the new movie toys look alright but there's a distinct lack of humans, vehicles, capture gear, and dino damage. :colbert:

Dinosaurs are cool on their own, but the biggest appeal of everything Jurassic Park, be it the movies, the games, or the toys, is humans and modern tech interacting with prehistoric animals. The new toy line totally missed that point by just having dinosaurs.
