I'm probably one of the only people that loved Jurassic Park on the Sega CD. It was more like a point and click adventure game with some really awkward FPS sequences (if you could call them that) but it also had cool videos about all the dinosaurs by Dr. Robert Bakker.
The Game Grumps did a full playthrough of this some weeks back.
oh really? i'll have to check that out, thanks!
Enjoy!
Fun fact, in the book Jurassic Park and in the initial script, there was a river boat sequence. It was extensively planned in preproduction and teased as part of the plot. This was spread to the other 'tie-in' merchandise and park ride. This is why the universal studio ride is a water ride and why games that timed their release with the movie had river sequences. But as we all from the future know, it never happened. Budget overruns and shooting delays lead to script rewrites to cut out that sequence.
They put the river sequence in one of the sequels, as a treat.
Game was absolutely brutal. The mechanics were decent though.
Yes! Blue vs red tranqs, the taser not keeping dinos down, the jenky slowdown when too many things were on the screen at one time...
I don't know if it was the look of the dinosaurs, the sound effects, but some combination kept me coming back for more.
Yeah my brother and I played over and over. I was thinking about the tranqs when I commented. I died at the laboratories every time.
It's wild to think how much of my life I have invested in flawed games. This one was particularly memorable for me.
It had a Flashback kind of feel. Another title I never made much headway on.
Oh man, do yourself a favor and watch speed runs of Flashback and Out of This World. Games that I spent forever figuring out that actually only have a few minutes worth of content, it's great.
This level was so fuckin hard. Me and my friends almost broke the controller
I was far too young to have a chance at that game. I owned it and had no idea there was a river sequence.
Cant count how many times i fail the last jump before the door 😸
