    Episode Notes:
    1. Captured on a Mega SG.
    2. I really wish that the Sega CD version had been an upgraded version of this. It could have been so much better with improved gameplay, a few more enemies, a better soundtrack, and maybe an extra stage.
    3. Funnily enough Blue Sky was also developing an Aladdin title at the same time as this. It was scrapped so they could finish Jurassic Park.
    4. Rampage Edition is an entirely new game that picks up where this leaves off. It has its own issues, but the slowdown is gone, and it sounds much better.
    5. The ending cinematic is extremely brief. Sega really needed to work on its endings during that time.
    6. It sounded like I implied that the password needs to be entered every time to start back where you were. The complaint was intended to be starting over at the beginning of the stage.

    I loved this game. In fact this Thanksgiving I thanked my dad for getting it for me as a kid, but I mention it every year as a joke. The reason was in Middle school I had an open heart surgery and a major heart surgery along with it. I spent a lot of time indoors because I was told it would be too dangerous to play outside after OHS. I’ve had a total of 3 open heart Surgeries in my life and I spent a lot of time on the Sega Genesis. My OHS was right after JP came out in theaters and dinosaurs were all I thought about. We didn’t have much money probably due to the medical bills. One day my dad comes home with a Sega genesis and JP also Sonic came with the system. I thought he had rented it from a Blockbuster or some other rental company but he said no he bought it. It’s a memory that will probably stay with me forever.

    God, I loved the music. Fair enough its not as pretty as, say, the Streets of Rage ost, but I think it really captures the mood of the game and alot of the time it reflects the environment. For example, it "sounds" like a powerstation or a flowing river. Nevertheless, I loved this game as a wee guy. That last act with the collapsing dino structure was unnecessarily difficult to figure out though - especially if you're 10!

I was such a huge Jurassic Park fan, (Saw the film in theaters 13 times!) and was so excited to play it. I must have played it over and over again for weeks. I actually have fond memories of some of the music in this game. I love the river rapids levels music.

    JP and Rampage Edition are both good. I give the first game the edge despite Rampage Edition's better framerate because I like the levels more. Felt like the levels in the first JP game were more involved and had more puzzle elements to them. But the more straightforward design of Rampage Edition can be good if you just want to jump in and blast some dinos. And playing as the Raptor is much better in Rampage Edition.

    One thing you didn't mention, you do sort of fight the T Rex, but it's more of an environmental hazard, as usually it's just a head popping out from the background layer, but you can drive it back a bit with grenades to slip past. Not exactly another dino you fight, but sort of, and the experience wouldn't be complete without it.

    I love the little details like 6:30 where the raptors play dead, then wake up and ambush you after you pass by. The first time they did it when I was a child I was genuinely surprised and frightened. Little details like that are awesome videogame storytelling, something so small shows how intelligent the raptors are.

      There's a part in the 3rd Power Station level while playing as Grant that a Raptor drops down and chases you. If you tranquilize it near the ladder at the end of the hall, climb the ladder and then pan the camera down to watch it wake up, it will run toward the wall and start climbing it. First time I saw THAT I was like...WTF! Creeped me RIGHT out because it almost seemed like the AI got better out of nowhere.

    This was one of the very first games I ever played. It came with the Sega Genesis I got for Christmas in 1993. It proved to be my dad's personal favorite because he liked a challenge and boy howdy did this game deliver on that. The entire layout of this game and every move you have to make is permanently burned into my brain due to the sheer amount of trial and error my 6 year old self went through to beat it. I actually did figure out how to beat the final boss on my own. When I beat the raptor's game and noticed the explosion animation when you kick the base of the dinosaur skeleton to defeat Grant, I assumed it was something similar for Grant's game.

    Back then I thought the music was banging, particularly when Rampage Edition came around it was even more crazy .. I got the ost for both of them and replay them fairly regularly, never get tired of it because the nostalgia takes over. There's one thing that I found now with time compared to games these days is that there was rarely any concept of tutorial levels back then, they just threw you into the game with a "Deal with it" approach, unforgiving (X-Men 2 Clone Wars is a brilliant example of this). Games really like to hold your hand nowadays before they let you get into it huh?
    The difficulty curb was both a blessing and a curse back then, not a bad thing but when I find myself replaying some of these old games man do I get frustrated lol, I'm old and it shows. With a modded MD Mini (130 ish games now, much better list~) and now both versions of the MD Mini II (JP & US, because Australia always gets shafted on releases) I have an absolute motherlode of old gems to enjoy.. what a time to be alive. 😉🙂

    I am in complete agreement with this review aside from one aspect: the music. I am a huge fan of what is often said to be the best Genesis soundtracks, which is pretty much anything by Yuzo Koshiro. The Revenge of Shinobi and Streets of Rage in particular.
    But I love the Jurassic Park soundtrack. It's not a game with any "bangers" by any means, but it has that dark ambient GEMS vibe that just really gives me a certain feeling and takes me back to junior high and the summer nights that I rented this title from my local video store.
    The music was done by Sam Powell, and his 1994 soundtrack for Shadowrun on the Genesis is one of my all-time favorites. (In addition to being a great sandbox RPG and a vastly underrated game.) To each their own. 🤘

    Your criticisms are 100% correct. But for whatever reason my family loved this game when we rented it, and we got it soon after. The goal is to memorize the levels and eventually master them to the point that you don't lose lives, and minimize damage. As for the last boss as Grant? We figured it out eventually but it was extremely frustrating.
    You're right to point out everything wrong with the game, but still encourage people to try it. There's something about this game that can click with you, and make you want to master it.
    The other thing I remember is that the sewer level as the raptor has a spot with a nearly impossible small platform that is a brick wall to progress until you figure out exactly how to jump on to it. Seems like the kind of thing Sega wanted in their games to keep it from being beaten over a weekend rental.

    Yes! This game was my first Mega Drive game. For the X-Mass of '93, I got the Sega Mega Drive 2, Jurassic Park pack. I'll always remember that intro from Dr. Grants campaign. The sound track for the visitors center was the best, as it had that right beat that fits the pace and action. My personal favorite levels were Dr. Grants, "The River Level" and "The Visitors Center." I did get a surprise, years later, when I heard people HATED the river level. I understand why, as the river level is too much 'trial and error.' And yeah, that final confrontation with the 2 Raptors was a pain in the rear rump, but the manual gave you a clue, and I ended up figuring it out by accident.

      At some point a new leader within Sega-Sammy will begin leveraging its back catalog. Either with reissues, remakes, or licensing everything out. That will likely hit Sega collecting hard. Especially when classics like Panzer Saga, Dragon Force, Crusader of Centy, and Burning Rangers are all available on modern platforms.

    I don't think I could put up with this game now as an adult, but as a kid I absolutely loved it. Still have my copy from back in the day, and though it's not without flaws, it remains one of my favorite games to this day.
    There's (sort of) hints to the properties of those pink grenades. You can use them to release some of the ammo found in the Canyon and Volcano levels. I learned about these much later though, and honestly can't remember how I figured out how to beat the final boss. I do remember how proud I felt when beating the game as a kid, though.
    You never have to re-enter a password when you get a GAME OVER screen, though. Just go to the password section and the last password is already put in. Press start and you're good to go. Thanks for the review, hope you'll cover Jurassic Park Rampage Edition as well :) Definitely my favorite of the two!

    I remember being in 2nd/3rd grade drawing the volcano level backdrop. Many Saturday mornings were spent. Great soundtrack. 👍🏻

    Loved the game too. the way my friend and me beat it was because there was a tip in a magazine article, I forgot the issue. We spent weeks trying to figure it out beforehand and it was so damn frustrating. I agree with your plight sir hahaha!!

    Nice review, a friend had this on the Genesis and we played the heck out of it one night, even finishing it. That said, I had the SNES growing up and always loved that version of Jurassic Park. The visuals and music were great, and its only real flaw is there's no save or password feature so beating the game in one sitting is quite a challenge, especially since its very unclear how you are supposed to complete some of the main objectives without the manual handy, and even then it's still a bit convoluted.

  • @gamerk316
    @gamerk316 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Pretty accurate review, and yes, I never figured out the ending until gamefaqs was a thing. Note there was an in-game hint in the stage intro/description: "Break a Leg", hinting you needed to grenade the supports.

    I really loved this game.
    Fun fact : in the manual, there was a screenshot of the map with the password of the 5th stage, we kids bearly read the manual but I did because I was stuck at the sewer level (3rd stage), imagine my surprise when it worked.

    I much preferred the Rampage Edition, it was a competent run and gun and pretty fun.
    As for the original : Playing as a Raptor was pretty cool but overall the game was kind of clunky. It was a game that most of my friends and family had in their collection. I did think some of the levels were interesting like the volcano (though annoying).

    I helped to work on this game. I cut the backgrounds out of digitized photos of dinosaur toys. :)
    The bit with having the dinosaur bones fall on the raptors was in the original movie script, but it wasn't working. They changed it to have the T-Rexx show up and save the day. Blue Sky probably only had the original ending to work with during development.

  • @Planag7

    I have a real love-hate relationship with this game I was one of the ones that got it right away as I love the movie and heard from friends that you could play as the raptor!
    The problem was when I first got it I was young enough where I couldn't get past I believe it was the Sewer stage where there's really tiny platforms and the raptor was very hard to control although years later I would find out how to get past it.
    This left the majority of my experience going to Grant and I really like that story but it always kind of aggravated me at the beginning that I couldn't finish the other half!
    And yes the music is one of those irritating things that I would turn it low on the TV and just kind of like make up music for it or would actually like come along to those horrible tunes but to me I don't know I got used to it after a while :)

    • @MrStrangermoon

      the jumping hard on pipe level with raptor but raptor also have chicken jump ablity push his hand floor and jumo front like cat. with that way more easy to pipe level. raptor also have high jumps can jump higher if you pressing up which helps beaten enemy. seems people dont know this.

    For some reason I always found the T-Rex sprite unsettling to look at. I guess it has an uncanny valley look to it that makes it kind of creepy looking.

    I loved this game, I remember getting in the bargain bin at toys r us because in the early 00s I was still going back and playing Genesis games. A lot of the music to this game is stuck in my head, not because they are bangers but I always thought there was something goofy sounding about them and it made the game more fun. After I discovered the debug code it brought even more replayability to the game being able to get the characters to play each other's levels.

    I am someone who figured out how to beat the raptors on my own. The process was simple: The first time I got there I dropped in between them without knowing they were there. After a while of trying to figure it out(couple days), I realized the concussion grenades are the ONLY weapons that don't set them off. From there the solution was obvious.
    I was ten when I solved this. It took me longer to figure out the path through rhe boat level.

    Jurassic Park stands as the only movie I have ever gone to the theater to see more than once in my lifetime. I waited outside of our local theater for the first afternoon showing as a young 14 year old kid still big into dinosaurs, I was so pumped to see the movie. I even own the film on almost every format (VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc,,,)
    I got to see a second time because apparently all my gushing about the film got my parents curious to see it, and asked if I wanted to come along to watch it again.
    So yeah, lots of memories of the film. As far the video games I remember playing the SNES, Sega CD, and Genesis ones. The Sega CD bored me to death as without a guide, I had no idea what I was doing, and there was a timer on the game. The Super Nintendo one was okay. Just a top down shooter, but that also got old real quick given the main goal is to collect all the eggs in the world. When you went inside, it "tried" to be like a FPS game such as DOOM with very "meh" results.
    The Sega Genesis one I feel was the one that tried to be the closest to the movie in terms of appearance, but yeah...I didn't get very far. I think as Grant I got to the second level, but remember getting much further as the Raptor.
    The biggest sin all these Jurassic Park games made...NO THEME SONG. Like, one of the most memorable parts of the film is that John Williams theme and not one company could get the license to have it on their game?

    This was one of the first games I owned for the system. It was included in a Mega Drive II bundle in Australia. I remember it as tricky in parts and satisfying to complete. I invested the time in it back then, as you tended to do when you had a more limited library. If I played it for the first time now I doubt I'd have the patience to play it through. I also haven't gone back to play it again, which I think all speaks to its cloudiness as a package as you say. But yeah there's enough there to make it worthwhile giving it a go. Thanks as always for the trip down memory lane.

    Your channel is really good, I like going through them to look at games I've not had a chance to play and may want to add to my collection and what games to skip when collecting more, I've still got all my old systems and games but always looking into whether to add games, I have some newer systems but I like a lot of the retro games on my retro consoles.
