- Today we take a look at a whopping eleven games all based around a single film. Let's take a trip to the prehistoric past (1993) and see if they're any good.
Thanks to C-Rex for the disco raptor footage! Check out the original video here:

"Because Jurassic Park was my Star Wars."
You and I are kindred spirits.
Is it wrong that I value both of the franchises equally? I was 8 when the first JP came out and I think my dad showed me the OG sw trilogy the year before, so they are both the best thing ever to me
@@mullaoslo Hell no, love what you love! Star Wars is dope!
Yeah, I’m with Marius, JP and Star Wars were both my Star Wars.
I like both, but I sort of prefer Star Wars.
Y.E.S.
As soon as I heard the turtle sound clip, I smashed the like button. Glad I stuck around for the raptor dance!
same and same. nearly spat out my nutrient paste watching that raptor continue to dance. it just got weirder.
Aaaaahh....
That's Trespasser for you.
"A poor man's Zelda meets Diet Doom." Priceless description.
ooooooooooooooooo ooo
P
Wait, the sounds the raptors make is turtles making love? Wow, I wish I could unlearn that. Thanks internet!!!
No.
Damn it, even Nedry knew better than to mess with the damn Chuses fences.
Jurassic Park was the first PG-13 movie I saw and the earliest movie I still remember. I later got the Genesis version of the game. Despite a few flaws, I loved that game. Obviously I preferred to play as a velociraptor. By the way, that T-Rex really was terrifying. I kind of wish you could go at it with the raptor, but unfortunately you can only run and hide with Dr Grant.
Jurassic Park did have one thing in its favor regarding accuracy:
Most of the flaws could be attributed to the genetic reconstruction method used.
(In simple language: the usable dinosaur DNA was incomplete, so they had to improvise, and used DNA from modern species to fill in the gaps)
Then there’s that one guy who made that one video that basically said if that’s the case, so they conveniently look like the reconstruction of the dinosaurs during those
7:31 I have a cold, and I was watching this late at night and woke up my family with hacking and coughing. They were all worried that I was dying or something and I was like, "I'm just laughing so hard at this video."
BTW, I was looking everywhere for a video exactly like this for the last week and it wasn't until yesterday that it showed up on my recommendations. Thank you so much for this! I was an insane Jurassic Park fan as a kid (I was 8 when I saw the first movie on opening day) and recently that insanity came back. The SNES game was always my favorite and I always wanted a JP open world survival game on a more advanced console inspired by that game.
I think we all do. Far Cry and Ark keep coming close, but nobody will just make the thing!!
Game Apologist honestly you should do a game Apologist on Ark Survival Evolved
You gotta love how the games just inject pure testosterone to Alan each time a game is needed.
That superimposed turtle face along with the audio had me dying lmao
Jurrassic Park was my entire childhood. That SNES JP cartridge i remember being stupid difficult. Awesome video!
Man I always appreciate when people go to the older videos, I was so proud of that joke. Thank you!!
@@GameApologist As someone who just started watching your videos, I gotta say it's a timeless joke. I'll never forget it any time I watch a Jurassic Park movie.
I had the SEGA Genesis game. It was hard, but when I finally figured it out, man, it was so much fun.
Same.
The Raptor sewage stage was annoying. The expansion version “Rampage edition” I found it to be easier.
Another great video. Still not sure how your sub count is so low.
I'm probably just bad at selling myself. Who knows. Still a lot of fun to make. And thanks again for the kind words.
Criminally low!
@@GameApologist t rex wasn't feathered it was to large to have them look at elephants they are almost as big as a rex and they have a few hairs
OMG that Sega CD game! I played maybe a few hours of that at my cousin's house, and it left such an impression on me I'd go out into my back property and pretend to be stranded and investigating things
Ahh yes. The NES version. Also known as ‘Smoky Bear: Egg Collector’ 😑😄
Escuse me?
@@cardboardhawks6783 The character looks like smoky bear and all you do is collect eggs. the game sucks.
@@cardboardhawks6783 avgn reference
Loved JP on the SNES ....music was class too. Have a SNES classic modded so I can save the game.....4 game saves actually
You have quickly turned into one of my favorite yt channels. Another amazing video and wishing you growth so others can see your amazing videos.
I really appreciate it, thanks for sticking by during the long waits between episodes!
@@GameApologist still binging all your videos great stuff. On a side note i wonder how fast your channel has grown feels? In my head I imagine it slightly stressful or chaotic to now feel pressured to put out more content quickly. Anyways your videos are really entertaining and I appreciate the time you've put into them!
@@modest1989 it's super crazy. Part of me is certainly worried its just a fluke, these videos will just be a fad, or once i release a non-Sonic video, will everyone turn on me... So yeah, there are some worries.
At the same time, this is one of the most exciting experiences of my life. Making the videos feels natural. It excites me to put out new stuff and the potential to do it full time is a life long dream. I have SO much I want to make for you guys. Whatever concerns or nerves I have gets drowned out by the excitement of everything. It's a challenge I want, and this tells me I am making some good choices and to keep following my gut on this.
Hope that answers your question, I know the answer is a little all over the place!
@@GameApologist I started with the Sonic and just found JP which both are my childhood so I assume we are around the same age. Thanks for the answer and I couldn't even begin to imagine it. Ride the hype and I think if any topic or video is made with the detail and style that you've made your own will do great. Keep on keeping on and thanks again for entertaining my life haha
A quick add on to my comment. I really don't believe it's the topic of the video that's blown up the channel specifically. I'd say it's the way the videos are made that people hit subscribe. Yo have that humor with super detailed information along with a voice that comes through very well. I couldn't imagine hearing my voice on something like this it would probably make people stop using RUclips so in a way you have something special for this type of thing that can't be taught. Anyways just wanted to let you know I feel if you do put out other video types they will do just fine because it's not the topic that people stuck around it's the way in which you presented the topic.
My favorite JP/JW dinosaur is definitely the velociraptor. As for the games, my favorite is likely Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues as it is pretty much Contra with human and dinosaur enemies. Though the PS1 Lost World game is likely superior, as you get to play as 5 different humans & dinos. Wish we'd get an awesome JP/JW action game, not something survival crafting like Ark. Great video and I hope you do one for the Lost World: Jurassic Park games next.
I've been having a great time going through your 16-bit Sonic videos (you won a subscriber by bringing up Metallix), and this one's even better.
But because it's the internet, I should just pop in a little correction. Jurassic Park's dinosaurs were pretty close to the best understanding of the science at the time. Not perfect, but most of the mistakes were understandable.
- At the time, the idea that dinosaurs had any relation to birds (and therefore in some cases had feathers) was a radical theory with few supporters. It only became clear around the millennium, when fossils started coming out of China that still preserved feathers (Sinosauropteryx, Microraptor). Whether Velociraptor would have been feathered was still debated as late as JP3's production.
The fossil record is so patchy, even today there will be all sorts of details about how these animals looked that we have no idea about.
- "Velociraptor" wasn't called as such because it was a cooler name. That might have been Spielberg's reason for not correcting it, but the book has the same mistake. The reason is that Michael Crichton's main dinosaur source was Gregory S Paul, who had a slightly dodgy theory in the '80s that Velociraptor and Deinonychus belonged to the same genus, with the former name taking precedence as it's older. (There's actually a chance that the JP novel raptors were supposed to be the animal we know today as Achillobator, but that's a longer story.)
- The idea that Tyrannosaurus could only see movement was based on early attempts at examining the braincase, which somehow drew the conclusion that it had a similar sensory region to amphibians. Of course we now know that Rexy had one of the most formidable sets of senses of any land animal in history, but such is the march of science.
- Dilophosaurus... Well yeah, that's the one for which there's the least excuse. Part of the problem is a genuine mistake: an early skeletal construction gave it that boxy megalosaur skull shape, and that image must have been the filmmakers' source material (in reality the skull was long and shallow, with fang-like teeth). Part of the problem was, yes, the filmmakers wanted to differentiate it to the raptors, so veered away from the book by making it small and frilled. And while there's no evidence of venom, it was a reasonable speculation, because at the time it was thought that Dilophosaurus' jaw was so fragile that it couldn't tackle large prey through conventional hunting. Crichton's point in writing Dilophosaurus was that some traits just don't fossilise.
Anyway... The field of palaeontology has advanced so much since Jurassic Park (and *because* of it - most young researchers cite the film as what sparked their interest in the science). So our current understanding invalidates literally every animal design in the film - we now know what Triceratops' skin looked like, that theropods' wrists were too stiff for the 'bunny hands' posture, that Brachiosaurus had extended nasal passages, and the exact plumage pattern of Gallimimus' close relative Ornithomimus. But there's no way we could have known any of that back then, so for the most part, they did a remarkable job with what we knew at the time, and showed the public the latest discoveries about how dinosaurs looked and behaved.
....With a few caveats!
Actually when the first two movies came out, we knew birds were descended from dinosaurs, but we didn’t know how close many dinosaurs really were. The first hard evidence of feathered non-avian dinosaurs only started being described in the new millennium, and, despite all its other flaws, Jurassic Park 3 actually makes reference to this with their raptors sporting a sort of thin feather-mohawk. The first Jurassic Park movie, despite taking a few major liberties, was probably one of, if not the, most accurate-to-the-science-of-its-day pop culture dinosaur media of all time; which makes films like Jurassic World, which hold slavishly to the conventions established by Jurassic Park over two decades prior, all the more insulting to anyone who cares about dinosaurs.
yeah
I will never stop liking the dancing raptor. That had me rolling in good times.
I never thought i would need a video of a raptor just vibin'
One thing I like to point out with _Jurassic Park_ videos is how the movie takes things from the novel and sorta pushes it aside, in fact I can think of two things off the top of my head right now:
1) The raptors actually _are_ deinonychus in the book, but Dr. Grant states that(Like how it was according to Chrichton's research when writing the book) deinonychus was recognized as a subspecies of velociraptor. Also, the raptors are that size in the movie because they were people in suits, and had to be sized up to match.
2) The infamous T-Rex vision is actually given to _all the dinos in the book,_ and explained as a side-effect of the DNA gaps being filled with frogs. This has also been retroactively given as the reason the dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
Based on the struggles Gendesign went through making Trico's feathers move in The Last Guardian, from 2013-2016, I should say it would have been a pain on a 1993 computer.
Good lord I love your name.
@@GameApologist tis but a calling card. Likewise, I am loving your videos.
@@hobodefender3476 thank you! I'm super appreciative of all the lovw the Sonic stuff is getting, but I grealty appreciate the folks that go out of their way to find this other stuff.
@@GameApologist it was definitely your videos of the classic Sonic series, specifically Hyper Sonic, something I never knew about from a series I am neutral towards, that lead me here. You're doing great. Takes talent to engage someone with a series they have next to no feelings for. The rest is just as good as those for sure.
That part where you get to play as a raptor must have been so mindblowing
Intersting point: JP for Genesis and it's Rampage Edition have a few common points with first two Dino Crisis games. Both JP1 and DC1 had traqualizing mechanic and both JP RE and DC2 were more action oriented with shitton of enemies leaping out of nowhere.
I kind of feel like the developers of Dino crisis were following those games in a way for sure
Aw man. I loved Rampage Edition as a kid. I was too young to really understand how to progress, but messing around as the Raptor was damn fun. The title theme went hard.
I spent so many hours playing as a velociraptor
Keep in mind no one knew that dinosaurs had feathers back in 1993 there were theory's yes but none were confirmed until at least the early 2000s.
Bennett Fender yeah it's kinda crazy when you think about just how long those theories were around. I feel like JP did a brilliant job of mixing conventional thinking with modern theory.
T-Rex also probably didn’t have feathers. The juveniles likely had some downy plumage, but lost it when the T-Rex got bigger. Yutyrannus is a Tyrannosaur that is known specifically for its feathers.
David Riley what most likely happened is that tyrannosaurids lost feathers as they evolved hence why T.rex, Tarbosaurus, and Albertasaurus, are all found to be scaled.
Covering all those games in one video was really great. Makes the fact that they really tried to cover every system at the time sink in even better. And I love all the little details. Lost it once I got to the dino dancing part at 7:50.
I tracked that down just for that joke, I could not believe how well that synced up to the music.
Hey man. I just discovered your channel and I must say, I am really enjoying your content. Don't let the low sub count deter your spirit. You are a really great content creator and you deserve so much more attention. Keep up the great work.
I'm amazed I have as many people watching as they are. Thanks for the kind words!
They spared no expenses on the adventures 65 million years in the making
happy 30th anniversary jurassic park!!! :3
this,the land before time/it's sequels,dinosaur king & the discovery channel/bbc/animal planet documentaries(back when they were actually about animals.) are what i'll always immediately think of when i remember getting introduced to dinosaurs.
Had the Genesis game myself. That game was brutal hard. I hated it but loved it at the same time
I love that you try to find something good in bad games. The positivity we need on the internet today.
I only played the 2 genesis ones, and found them enthralling but punishingly hard. But that was an era where sometimes they put just as much effort into making failure fun. Like that brutally hard Virtual Bart game. the screwups were funny as hell, which is good because that is all you'd ever see. and in JP, getting mauled by various dinosaurs happened a lot, and was fun and interesting.
I've actually never seen any of the Jurassic Park movies, but this video makes me want to watch it! This was so entertaining.
I have so many fond memories of the arcade rail shooter game. It was so breakneck and horrifying, and I loved every second of it - except the pterodactyls.
Love the video. For reference when MC wrote Jurassic Park deinonychus and velociraptors we’re not separate genus and we’re both collectively known as velociraptor. After the book was published were they defined as different species. Suppose you could say it was an accurate name for the time of writing. I appreciate this is only something a Jurassic Park super nerd would know or find interesting.
Pausing at the moment when you brought up the Point and Click game, the entire idea of the series makes the most sense as a point and click adventure, as it's the closest way to get to standard horror games (remember, Jurassic Park was supposed to be a horror series, even if most don't consider it such). Very little methods to defend yourself, confined to simply walking, interacting and escaping.
Platformers and Shooters are fine directions to take, but to get the most authentic feeling of helplessness, taking away combat and maneuverability makes you really feel like you're a regular every person stuck on an island with blood thirsty beasts.
Well said. Certainly made things tense for me. I guess it just comes down from what you want. Point and clicks always make me feel like an idiot, but certainly makes sense when you put it that way.
Game Apologist They're like Zelda games, you tend to overthink about the solution, find the solution, and then dope-slap yourself for not realizing it sooner.
The 2 seconds intro sums up perfectly all my childhood
never been much of a JP fan but I do enjoy watching them if they're on. haven't played any of the games that were made but I'll probably get some just for a laugh. keep up the good work! You're definitely one of my favourite youtubers.l! Sadly you don't have a lot of recognition but I'm sure you will in time! don't give up!
Recognition or not, I still have a lot of fun making these, and I always appreciate the support. Thank you!
muffled "they let you play as a velociraptor". Sold. I laughed pretty hard at that. I too had a similar revelation years ago on my genesis. great vid.
Dude i LOVE your channel, YOU NEED MORE SUBS you have an orignal idea too, ya know finding good in bad games, i havent seen that anywhere else keep it up you got a new subscriber
Thanks!!!
I used to only play as the raptor in Sega's JP. I could never beat the first boss as Grant. I love how they put that bit in the movie about the T Rex's eyesight, but never included the explanation that it wasn't true which was in the book! JP was actually pretty accurate for the time. we were just starting to find signs of feathers on theropod dinosaurs around that time and had no idea that birds actually *are* dinosaurs.
Looking forward to the Lost World follow up!
Watching this to prove we're not just watching your Sonic videos. :)
Right? 😅
@@jayands I mean, I loved the Genesis JP game as a kid, and I never knew that the Nintendo ones were any different.
You hyped for the classic game collection, Nick? This video is perfect for my little pre-release hype cycle 💚❤️🖤💛
Grew up on the SEGA version...never could beat the game as Grant so played mostly as the Raptor. Such a blast!
I recently discovered your channel and I've been watching a bunch of your videos. I really like them. They're very entertaining and I'm currently lying in bed in the dark with a ham & cheddar sub.
Adventure games are usually designed so strangely to slow you down. This one is no exception.
The books were so much better than the movies, but I didn’t find that out until about a decade after having seen the movie in theaters. Especially the second one, but both were so incredible to see at the time - and still hold their own today no problems.
You forget to talk about the T-Rex saying SEGA and the opening in the Genesis game.
Loved the Audible part. Glad someone remembers these.
Lmao @ the audible bit. Awesome vid as always :D
haha thanks Mr. Soto
Keep up the great work. This was awesome.
RUclips is doing itself a great service by recommending your channel. Even beyond the excellent Sonic videos. Good content, good quality. Keep up the great work.
I watch ten hours of RUclips everyday. This video is quality.
The best one is The Lost World in an arcade cabinet, made by Sega if I remember correctly. I spent so many coins on that game, and one time this mustachio dude randomly join me and he OWNED this game, never said word thou, good times :)
Fun fact, Jurassic Park came out before we found out Velociraptors had feathers, that information came out during the production of Jurassic Park 3.
Game Apologist: “The Velociraptor calling sounds were actually turtles having sex.”
Me: “Well, you have to get sounds for dinosaurs somewhere…”
Christian whitehead did a really good job remaking the classic sonic games, I think that he make a good jurassic park Sega genesis remake
18:03-18:04 The ability to play as the raptor didn't just appear on the box, the game straight up SHOVED the option in your face in the "Player" menu. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised you missed it.
19:32-19:36 Not to get totally actual factual here but the first Genesis JP you only had 3 lives instead of four, and there was no way to gain an extra life once one was lost. In Rampage Edition, I seem to recall that there was a very rare extra life item (if memory serves me correctly, it was represented by a sprite which depicted a pile of "medkits")
22:56-22:57 A common misunderstanding here is that it was actually Michael Crichton himself that added in the bit about Dilophosaurus spitting poison, and in the "Afterward" of the book he flat out admits that he took poetic licence to write that bit in. The neck crest and height changes on the other hand were Speilberg's doing.
22:59-23:03 Indeed, your first guess was correct: that is in fact a deinonychus. Crichton also straight up explained this poetic licence in the "Afterward" in the back of the book. Pretty much "velociraptor" was easier to pronounce than "deinonychus", and that a dinosaur the size of a chicken wouldn't be as scary as a 7 foot man eating featherless chicken with teeth and massive talons.
You really ought to read that "Afterward" at the back of the book sometime.
Yeah man, sorry, I'm a total JP nerd and Crichton disciple. I daresay I'm rather obsessed with Michael Crichton. (btw, his name is traditionally pronounced CRAY-TON, another common misunderstanding)
I know this is 4yrs ago, but... they did explain that they mixed them with reptiles and amphibians due to missing genes, it could be a worthy excuse that the mix of genes and size difference made them have a harder time sensing their prey
".... that dope ass dino beat"
I feel bad for that raptor. It's having such a difficult time walking that it's sad.
Where is operation genesis :( though you would talk bout it
Unfortunately I only have so much time! If I was doing this full-time (heck, even part-time) I probably would have marathon'd it by now. As it is, I just have to cover this stuff as I can. Don't worry, it'll happen in due time!
Aw I was hoping you would talk about Chaos Island. That one has a special place in my heart.
I absolutely lost it at the JP Velociraptor dance.
I actually loved the DOS version. I’m also 33 years old and seen this movie multiple times when I was 5.
that audible sponsor bit got me good
You and I had the same experience with the Jurassic Park Sega Genesis version. The game felt amazing to me, probably because of the graphics... and when I, very late into owning it, realized I could play as a raptor... it was an even better experience... fun stuff!
23:36 I think you are grossly underestimating how much the public thinks dinosaurs were EXACTLY how they're portrayed in these movies.
I love the fact that a big reason you love these games is the fact that you love dinosaurs.
I'm friends with a lot of artist type people, and sometimes I get caught up in why a piece of art (whether writing, film, music or a game) is good or why it's not good. And I forget that, in some ways, it's largely in the eye of the beholder, and what the person experiencing the art takes away from it. I had the Game Boy Jurassic Park game, and I LOVED it (because, much like you, I LOVED dinosaurs). Was it Game of the Year material? Hell no. But it was fun and I enjoyed it.
Jared Lord This guy gets it!
Really good work, man. I played so many of those games as a kid, the 2 SNES in games in particular. Can't wait for the next video!
I played the SNES version all the time as a kid! I don't remember if I beat it but the music brings back memories!! 😂😜
There actually almost was a Jurassic Park TV series in the 90's. Why was it cancelled? I don't remember.
Spielberg. They pitched an animated series, and from what I heard, he shot it down.
Your videos are seriously, horribly underrated! You do amazing work! Thank You!
“Yeah but your game developers were preoccupied with wether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should” -Ian Malcom, “The Wizard of ums”
Fun fact: In the novel The Lost World by Michael Crichton, a character does talk about how the idea about vision based movement for T-Rex was completely bogus, and indeed, the T-Rexes in that book have no trouble seeing anything. I think Crichton was well aware he was cherry picking what aspects to throw in, but he was heavily criticizing commercialism, unchecked scientific advancements, and the arrogance of humankind thinking that they have more control than they do.
I always felt that was a hard retcon in the book. That and Ian (who, let's be real, was Crichton's mouthpiece) being brought back to life.
@@GameApologist My personal take is that The Lost World novel was Crichton's criticism of how JP had blown up as a franchise without any of the weight he perhaps intended. I would agree that Malcolm was his mouthpiece in the first one, but in Lost World, the characters not named Sarah Harding mostly take turns acting like fools. BTW, I grew up with JP on Genesis, as well as Rampage Edition and Lost World and loved all 3!
Nice video! I can't wait to see your Lost World one.
thanks!
Seeing a Denver the last dinosaur reference at the beginning in 2021 makes me happy
I'm surprised we've never had a modern dinosaur first person shooter or even a doom clone dinosaur game back in the day. I would love to see a modern reboot of Dino crisis or a spiritual successor in first or third person, something really intense That will really frost your balls
At the time feathers in dinosaurs wasn't completely excepted until 1996 with the discovery of the first known dinosaur to have feathers.
7:31
That Velociraptor doesn’t want Anne’s meat, it wants Anne’s “meat”. How do I know this?
THEM DANCE MOVES COULD SEDUCE DUKE NUKEM, MATE!
The Jurassic Park book was good. I was a kid when the movie came out too but I ended up reading the book a few years after it came out and it was a pretty cool read.
That music when he finds out that you could play as a raptor
Yess a new video, finally!
keep up the good work dude, loved the vid.
Thanks! I'll try to get them out a little faster. Life's been kinda' crazy.
I did not know there was a first genesis game. I only have played the sequel and thought that was just the name for the genesis version of the game. It was also the first game I ever beat on my own as a kid, playing as the raptor.
Edit: For added nostalgia, I had rented it from Blockbuster.
Awesome video, cool to see a nicely done thing on these games. I enjoyed the Mega Drive Jurassic Park, Lost World on Ps1, and Jurassic Park Operation Genesis on PS2 was probably one of my favourite games. Alan Grant was my HERO when I was a kid! Back then my dream team was Dr Grant, Chief Brody, Sonic & Tails, and Trevor McDonald.
Jurassic World Evolution looks great but I do not have the patience for it. Rampage Edition, CD, Lost world on Mega Drive, are not for me but still cool.
Man, I loved that first SNES Jurassic Park. I must've rented it 900 times as a kid, but was never able to find it actually for sale anywhere. 😩
Dr. Niko "Nick" Tatopoulos: this animal is much too big to be some kind of lost dinosaur 0:02
Godzilla 1998. Loved the movie and I own the complete series.
@@slapstickcomedy2.0.18 same I had ordered the movie and complete animated series recently I loved going down memory lane.
@@protoraptor2074 just to let you know, the series didn't have much of an ending but it was still pretty good.
I feel like the Dinos having their old damaged DNA spliced with frog DNA helped explain why some things weren't correct.
Giant birds can be scary if you know how to make them so. Heck normal sized birds can be intimidating enough.
The Jurassic franchise is awesome, no questions asked.
At least the fiction itself explains how the dinosaurs in the films don't look like their real-world counterparts. Genetic engineering that either got details wrong, or made changes to make the dinos "cooler".
"Angry little turkeys"
Nobody said it better
Bro.. I freek'n love you vids. Keep up the good work
I remember really liking the Sega CD version of the game but don't remember ever beating it. Some of the puzzles are just a pure mystery when you are a kid.
The first Jurassic park game I EVER played, was an arcade game at (Believe it, or not) ChuckeCheese, I LOVED that shooter, it was so fun to blow up dinos, and other stuff. 10/10 one of my all-time favorite games!
Edit: Also, Dilo is my favorite, Jp version, or real life, I like both
I like the explanation Jurassic World gives us regarding the dinosaurs. They're not real dinosaurs. They're based on the real thing, yes, but they are bioengineered animals, designed by scientists according to expectations. The Jurassic Park book suggests a similar thing. I believe it was Dr. Wu who suggests making the dinosaurs slower, because that would make them match the perception of dinosaurs at the time. John Hammond, however, refuses and opts to make the creatures more like the real thing. So the reason none of the dinosaurs had feathers? Because the scientists designing them didn't give them any.
11:43 - Trying to play that game is how I learned the MS-DOS command line on our 486/DX2 with it's blistering 66MHz processor and 4MB of ram with a 480MB Hard drive and state of the art CD-ROM. :D
I remember playing the arcade were you seat and it was FRICKING GOOD AS FRICK like im serious i always got hyped to play this thing and the it was really hard to me at at the time, and me and my cousin being dibosaur lovers... HECK YEAH IT WAS AWESOME!!!
