The aesthetics of that game were so good. The indoor segments were so intense. The music is beautiful. One of the rare licensed games that were actually worth a darn.

The fact that you couldn't save your progress and had to beat the game in one sitting, however, was a real kick in the nethers.

Bought this as a kid with Christmas money. What an ass beating. Finally beat it like 15 years later as an adult. Just sat down one day and said I'm going to do it, and 6 hours later finally finished. Heart was racing at the end because you do not want to die at the finish line and have to start all over. It's not overall a hard game, it's just you can afford to make dumb mistakes since continues are limited.

Sega Jurassic Park feels unfinished with a sloppy level design, tons of slowdown and sometimes sprites just pop up on the screen, it's worth a playthrough because of the Raptor novelty.

I like Rampage Edition, the level design still isn't great, but the gameplay feels more polished, the Raptor is almost as acrobactic as Shinobi III's Joe Musashi.

None of the JP games is really great outside of the Sega arcade light gun game, but out of all the western shovelware, I like the NES one the most.
The first Genesis game has great atmosphere and playing as the raptor is a novel idea, however the execution and the actual game design is not really very good. As per usual with western platformers, it's full of faulty collision/hit detection and aimless/maze-like level design. It's still enjoyable if you REALLY like jurassic park and have nostalgia for it (I know I do), but as a pure game experience, I prefer the top-down games on NES and SNES, but mostly the NES one.
I haven't played the Sega CD one, I understand it's like a point-and-click adventure game, and I also heard good things of the Game Gear game, but never played either.
What about the Game Boy games? JP game boy seems to be a port of the NES game, but I wonder if there's any actual differences in levels or controls.
There's also a Lost World game on Game Boy, but it's a side-scroller so I'm afraid it might not be very good, anyone played it?

>The Lost World: Jurassic Park is a light gun arcade game from Sega. It was released in 1997, and is based on the film of the same name. It is also a sequel to Sega's 1994 Jurassic Park arcade game. A third arcade game based on Jurassic Park III was made by Konami in 2001.

>To coincide with The Lost World: Jurassic Park, the second film in the movie series, studio DreamWorks utilized its internal software company, DreamWorks Interactive to create their own game.[43]

>For the PlayStation and Sega Saturn, DreamWorks and Appaloosa Interactive developed The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a side-scrolling platformer portrayed in a totally 3D rendered environment. The game features five playable characters and 30 levels.[44][45] In 1998, an updated version of The Lost World: Jurassic Park was released for the PlayStation, featuring various gameplay improvements.[46]

>Appaloosa Interactive developed another version of The Lost World: Jurassic Park that was published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. Played from an overhead view, the game contains levels brought together by four hub areas on Isla Sorna and also contains four unique boss levels. It also has driveable vehicles, a large number of dinosaurs, and a GPS system used for mission objectives.[47]

>Four versions of the game were developed and published by different companies for handheld game consoles, including Nintendo's Game Boy,[48] Sega's Game Gear,[49] and Tiger Electronics' Game.com and R-Zone consoles.[50][51]

>ENGAGE games online, a multiplayer gaming website, announced in June 1997 that they had secured the exclusive online game rights for The Lost World: Jurassic Park through an agreement with Universal Studios. As in the films, the game was to be set on a tropical island of genetically engineered dinosaurs. In the game, the player's objective would be to capture one egg from six different dinosaur nests and return the eggs to a laboratory. The player would have to fight against dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, as well as other players trying to complete the same mission. Gameplay would consist of four teams, with up to 32 players. Availability of the game was to be announced later that year. At that time, a retail version of the game was not planned.[52]

How would you make the perfect Jurassic Park game? I think most of the games got it wrong. It should mainly be based on exploration of unknown sites. Dense jungles and the sense of wonder.
It shouldn't be about killing tons of human mercenaries, and it shouldn't be about killing small, friendly dinosaurs just because you can.
The fmv adventure on the Sega CD is bretty gud.

The game tricks you into thinking its open world is like Zelda when it's closer to Sabre Wulf.

This one was the king of them all, though, in my mind. I had a frankly weird obsession with Trespasser for a couple years--something about the reputation of being horrible combined with actually being pretty fun, if sometimes very frustrating. My favorite level is the lab. I loved sneaking around the shipping crates avoiding the raptors, and then the incredible "oh, fuck" moment of the t-rex at the gate. Some of the modding stuff is very impressive, too--I spent hours using the level-building tools just to poke around and deconstruct stuff. Some choice voice lines in it, too.

The Genesis Lost World game is good shit, thanks for reminding me. Feels a lot like an on-foot Strike series game, with the whole comprehensive map and objective screens, and it's forgiving in that checkpoints are where you continue from on game over rather than death, with mission progress intact. The 'boss' stages are impressive and almost straight out of the old JP sprite scaler arcade, the tricks they use. Shooting shit could use a little work but when you figure b and c together aimlocks it isn't TOO bad.

Far, far better than the JP1 Genesis game.

The Genesis title is fucking great, but weird. Grant gets all kinds of cool weapons and feels pretty helpless in the beginning, but the Raptor has all his toolset immediately and feels like a fucking rocketship with his jumps. The raptor game mode is brilliant and I wish more games let you play as one.

The balance for certain levels is absolutely fucked though. The raptor is given some really hard jumps, and Grant is expected to live through all kinds of terrible odds. And the final boss is pure horseshit for the Raptor, since Grant fires off his dozens of guns at every angle allowing virtually zero approach. I don't remember if Grant's final boss was this unreasonable.

I remember my mom buying me this back in 2008 for the pc, and i was hooked right fron the start, i was a stereotypical dinosaur maniac kid and the gameplay was just so engaging and fun it was logical i'd become addicted to it

I've played through this game multiple times and I still can't decide if it's god tier or shitty. Everything about it is nicely done but it feels like something is missing.
