I remember having this on my Amiga 500. Loved the music setting the atmosphere nicely... but it was too hard for me. Think I only ever left the initial area once!
I spent hours on this when I was a kid on my amiga and had no idea what I was doing was prob stuff on the same bit ,played so much I got a headache lol
I had the floppy version as a kid, and it was one of my favorite games! It's interesting seeing footage from the (I'm assuming) CD-ROM version, it seems very different, with new enemies and a way more detailed 3d section
Yes, this is the CD-ROM version, but the only actual difference between this and the floppy version is the music (the CD-ROM used CD audio whereas the floppy disk used MIDI). The game itself is identical though. However, this footage is from the MS-DOS version, and the Amiga version is less detailed in the 3D sections, so maybe you're thinking of that? I'm not aware of the DOS version having more enemies though.
Its so weird that none of the games tried to use renditions of the movie music. I owned the DOS version as a kid. I remember I didn't get very far in it because it was too hard for me. I feel like the SEGA CD/MEGA CD version doesn't get enough attention at all. I really enjoyed it a lot back then.
I was disappinted in it as a kid, thinking it would be like the SNES version (the screenshots on the box even showed that version!). Then being met with the muted colors, a sewer maze escort segment, and no sound (no sound card) was a bit of a letdown. I'm gonna give it another shot though at some point
3d Graphics seem to be on the level of ultima underworld (actually the natural 3d environment at 5:20 looks a hell of a lot like ultima underworld) which is what you'd expect for a game that was certainly being developed before doom came out and raised the bar
I’m confused when you say the DOS version had poor midi music. That’s not the version I remember, and yet I look up the PC music and it’s foreign to me. I look up the amiga soundtrack and *thats* the version I remember, but I absolutely played it on a 486 machine. I wonder if there was a PC version with the tracker music?
I say the DOS version had two formats, floppy disk and CD-ROM. It's only the floppy disk version that had MIDI music, the CD-ROM version had CD quality music.
I've had the PCCD version of this game since it was new, but I've actually never played it. Couldn't get it to run. I think the executable complained about how much RAM was available, and even years later we still couldn't get it to work on newer and more powerful PCs.
I remember I had a similar problem back in the day and I needed to contact support and they sent me out a JP Fix floppy disk (this was before the Internet was really a thing!). In order for me to get this footage I found a community made patch that allowed me to install it, maybe you can try that out and see if it helps? You'll need to run it through DOSBox obviously (as it was a DOS game) and you can find the patch here: www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=169833#p169833
I remember playing like a Jurassic Park game that you were a velociraptor and it was like a platformer or something. I think it was for the Genesis, but I could be lying. Like you can choose to be either a person (lol Who would select that?) or the raptor. I remember liking it, but my video rental place got rid of it pretty quick or it was always rented out so I only played it for the few days.
Yeah I'm not sure why Limited Run didn't include it in that new collection, seems like a pretty large oversight. Everyone forgets about this version for some reason.
@@WhitePointerGaming It’s a shame because this games first person section is more advanced than doom in a lot of ways this is the first first person shooter or you could look up and down and was a massive step up from the original Wolfenstein said that it gets lost in history and doesn’t get the credit it deserves also sucks that we are not getting the arcade Sega game or the Sega CD or the game gear game
Amiga and Snes version player here. Back in the day, I was terrified by the FPS phases. I couldn't enter a dark room, it was too much for me :D

@@WhitePointerGaming hm, i definitely had the DOS version, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Maybe i don't remember it as well as i thought

I suspect that none of the games could manage to license the soundtrack from the movie for some reason.
Forgotten? This was the best version of the Ocean's games!
Never heard of this title before, those first person sections actually look like a lot of fun!

Yeah the back of the box for some versions had screenshots from the SNES game on it for some reason, I was also confused by that back then.

You can actually look up and down in the 3D sections which isn't something you can do in Doom.
6:20 I mean, that was a pretty decent ending animation for the time. Aside from Ocean apparently being too cheap to pay for the soundtrack.
To be fair none of the JP games at the time featured the movie's soundtrack.
*shrug* the only JP game I've ever played.. came with one version of Windows

@@WhitePointerGaming silly me, I should’ve clarified. I think I had the floppy version, only because I never recall any FMVs.
There's only one FMV in the the entire game if I remember right, which is the ending.

Forgotten indeed, This game is not included in the JP classic collection.
Yep, dunno why. If they got the license for the others I don't see why they couldn't get the license for this.

Yeah that was the Mega Drive/Genesis version. There was also a sequel with basically the same gameplay called Rampage Edition.
It sucks that this will not be in the class a game collection I don’t know why

Literally just bought the ps5 collection thinking THIS version was on it..sadly disappointed.
I hope they add it somehow
They always forget this one :(
