I liked the snes one

>>6729731
This is one example of where there Genesis got Genecucked

>>6729726

I like them, but they're not perfect.
the first one has slowdowns and sloppy controls, but has that sweeeet Jurassic Park feel to it.
the 2nd one solves all the slowdowns and control issues, but just.. has more of a killer action game feel going on instead of that neat "trying to survive the park" feel.

>>6729731
as far as i know there is two snes ones.
the ones that is 3d and like doom and the side scroller shooter one.
i think the genesis ones are more unique and in rampage edition the savanna level is pretty much like the snes shooter one.
genesis ones suffer from bad frame rate and faulty controls or environments. but they have alot of detail.

>>6729804

i sort of lose interest at the canyon and volcano parts. its either too difficult or just bad level designs or locations. The first 3 or 4 levels seem so classic.
it could also be the development team was going throw stages of creativity. i remember the last level did seem that great either. i don't remember the end boss.

>>6729726
Genesis controls like shit

>>6729817
>i don't remember the end boss.
The weird fight where you have to drop skeleton bones over the twin raptors?

>>6729804

>>6729726
Yeah, I like them, especially rampage edition, that one is really fun.

They're those love it or hate it kinda games

I wish the Snes version had been more of an RPG kinda game, with quests instead of egg gathering.
and saving and finding people.

also a better island.

I liked the NES one the best.

>>6729741
Retard-take. The Genesis one is the one everyone remembers because of much better in general it was.

Retard-take. The Genesis one is the one everyone remembers because of how much better in general it was.

>>6729726
Yes and I still fondly remember the day I got both of them. Hard games though

>>6729726
I think they're both great, a couple of my favorite games on the system but are kinda different. First is slower paced second is more arcadey. I always play the raptor.

The gameplay is a bit clunky in spots, but Rampage Edition has a killer soundtrack. It helps that it and the first JP game on Genesis were developed by the same studio as Vectorman

>>6729726
THE RIVER LEVEL in JP. rampage edition is a mess

>>6730386
I like how they put a triceratops enemy that you've been used to being able to jump over his head the rest of the game, but this specific triceratops is impossible to jump over and instakills you if you attempt.

>>6729726
I could never figure out how to defeat grant as a kid.

>>6729808
Nah it's overhead view like Zelda 1, but it does have SOME first person doom parts which is neat. And yea I think there is a second one which is a sidescroller like the genesis. I think I played that one once

>>6729726
They're the best Jurassic Park games.

>>6730130
I fucking love all the layers of scrolling in this level.

there's some cryptic stuff in the first Genesis game, not like Simon's Quest baffling, but you have zero chance of making it through a level unless you already know what to do. you are going to have to die tons of times figuring out where you can walk and jump and climb without dying, and the graphics are not consistent about these things

doesn't change that I loved it and played the shit out of it as a kid. eventually I could breeze through the game as both Grant and Raptor

>>6730657
>you are going to have to die tons of times figuring out where you can walk and jump and climb without dying

Can't say I ever experienced the game like that, yeah some parts were harder but you're making it seem like you need a walkthrough.
the only confusing part is the end of the first level where the devs coded this never ending way down, and you just had to go to the right instead of going down forever.

>the sequel is called "Rampage Edition"

Retarded naming, bro.

>>6731475
Same here, I never had that much trouble.

>>6731517
it's a sequel to a game based on a film that isn't based on a film that plays more like an add-on than an actual sequel.
So the naming convention makes sense.

>>6731561
I almost feel like they didn't need the JP license, neither game feels anything like the movie

>>6731561
Or you know, just be smart about it and not worry about that.

>>6729731
the songs on the SNES version were so fucking based

>>6732101
The likeness is purely cosmetic, the first game feels larger and solitary, like Grant has been transported back in time and exists as the sole member of humanity in an ancient world of dinos. And then the idea of playing as the raptor vs humans is batshit insane and totally removed from the movie but works so well it's a blast to play.
I never much liked Rampage Edition, I've tried but it just doesn't click for me.

>>6729726
SNES a shit, MD more atmospheric

>>6729935
This one was a lot of fun. I don't think I ever made it past the volcano level though
>>6730657
I remember my first getting sewer pipes as Grant and not realizing you could climb across the vines overhead. I thought you had to pull of this crazy ass jump and I only managed to do it a few times. I nearly gave up but on my last attempt I figured it out.

>>6729726
Yes, as well as the nes, snes and pic related games
Why does jp carry this meme of not having any good games? There was also a park builder on pc that was pretty fun

>>6729935
The system gives me too much to fiddle around. I would never know which palette to choose for 100% emulation.

>>6732952
Game Gear JP is lowkey the best one. No one ever talks about it.

what about the sega cd one

>>6729726
They're absolute, bargain bin, trash.

>>6733626
no

>>6733624

Good point & click adventure game.

>>6729726
both are good, i recommend rampage edition

>>6734502

I wish the original coder would make a DX version of the first game but with the better Rampage Edition engine.
I always liked the first one best, but its just not optimized.

JP1 for genesis is perfect, so yes.

>>6733601
My favorite JP game.

>>6732918
It only gets more bullshitty past the volcano. There’s a level on a cruise ship with 1-hit kill electricity.

>>6733601
same as master system one i guess? it's a nice platformer indeed

>>6729741
>Let's post lies on the internet, version 2020
Nothing will ever beat that Genesis Soundtrack.

>>6738506
the music when i emulate seems to run much faster than the youtube vids ive seen. so not sure which is how its meant to sound.

>>6738506
JP snes has one of the best 16 bit soundtracks kiddo

>>6738796

Eh, the entire Snes JP ost has like 4 memorable tracks, the rest is all dramatic filler like the T-Rex theme or the dun Dun DUN main theme.
Genesis might not have as good a soundtrack, but it has more memorable tunes.

>>6729841
>you have to drop skeleton bones over the twin raptors?
Or on Alan Grant, if you are the raptor.

HOW THE FUCK are you supposed to beat the final level in the first one? you get stuck on the t rex bones and you cant kill the raptors below you and if jump down the t rex just kills you. i never beat this game as a kid despite being able to consistently get to the final area.

jurassic park for gameboy had the best soundtrack.

>>6739468

I'm still not sure, but I think you gotta let yourself fall down right inbetween the two skeletons and then chug grenades left and right. and all the bones should fall directly down onto the raptors.
very strange final battle, I blame the deadline. they really needed about 3..4.. months more to make it better.

>>6729726
I like 'em both, and I have them both.
I must get Lost World and I'm complete

>>6729726
Saw this shovelware in a bin at Babbage's for $4.00 in the 90s. Still way too much.

The SNES and NES Ocean games where better, only drawback is there was no save/password system.

But the absolute best of the Ocean JP games was the one on Amiga and PC, it's birds-eye view like the SNES with FPS sections too but they look and play A LOT better. If you want to play it on the Amiga make sure to get the WHD version so you don't have to disk swap. The PC version is "abandonware" I think and can be run off Dos Box, but there is no controller support if that's an issue.

>>6742041

Such a shame that we never got an openworld (open island?) 2D Jurassic Park explore/adventure.
Shadowrun on Genesis was rather big, imagine if they had made it like that for the 16bit consoles.

Walking around as Grant, first trying to get back to the visitors center, riding that raft with the T-Rex chasing you in the water, finding the kids, restoring power, finding eggs, getting a first aid kit for Malcolm, finding more people? coming across Newman's wrecked car, just a ton of little things to do.

but they always go for the pew pew pew approach.
