Get Your Performance Chip Ready: The Best Jurassic Park Video Game Adaptations
The Jurassic Park films have bred a huge franchise from toy figurines to spin-off books and TV shows to video games. Here is a list of some of the best and worst Jurassic Park video game adaptations that will have you cringing, smiling and above all, hoping that your Jurassic Park car has a performance chip installed to outrun the T-Rex.
Jurassic Park: Trespasser
While the game had a large amount of hype and anticipation around it, it just couldn’t live up to it and was heavily criticized upon its release. Today, the game is seen as one of the most unique and innovative first person PC games for its time, with no heads up display used on the screen to gauge ammo and health, leaving the screen free to show the action and colors, making it more realistic. Instead, the game was somewhat mockingly known for having the characters health shown as a heart shaped tattoo on the character’s female breast, so you would be looking down your own character’s blouse to see how much health you had left. Another unique aspect was the ability to pick up and maneuver many of the in-game objects, from rocks to clubs to other detritus. The physics system of the game is praised for paving the way for Half Life and Half Life 2, two of the most influential first person games ever made.
Jurassic Park
The first game and one of the best, this game featured isometric action, with the view being above the player, allowing you to see more of the park and the oncoming dangers. One of the unique things was that when you entered any buildings in the game the view would switch to a first person view as if one were looking through a pair of night vision goggles. There were different ways to finish the game, giving it an open ended feel, from turning on the park power to rebooting the computers, as well as collecting raptor eggs. The game felt huge for its time, with a large park to explore and attempt to survive with a variety of weapons and dinosaurs to add variety and challenge to the game. One other notable feature in the SNES ported version was that the game was mastered in surround sound, Dolby Pro Logic, making it a cinematic experience.

That lapse proves unfortunate, … |
