Classic Jurassic Park Video Games Getting Re-Released

Hard as it might be to believe, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the original Jurassic Park movie. When the film released, it inspired a number of video games, which appeared on systems such as the NES, Game Boy, and Super Nintendo. In honor of the anniversary, publisher Limited Run Games...

comicbook.com

Limited Run Games teased the Jurassic Park Anniversary Retro Collection on Twitter with an image featuring several copies of the original games. In the image, NES, SNES, and Game Boy versions of Jurassic Park can be seen, as well as SNES and Game Boy versions of Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues. The image can be found in the Tweet embedded below.



Interestingly enough, the image does not contain the Sega Genesis or Game Gear versions. Those games were published by Sega, as opposed to Ocean Software, which handled the Nintendo versions. That might prevent Limited Run Games from re-releasing those games, but there's really no way of knowing for sure. For now, fans of the franchise will just have to wait patiently to see what gets announced during the company's showcase in June!

Gimme a trespasser remaster! But it ain't happening.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Where's my god damned Trespasser?

 

[Mephisto40]

All of those games are complete trash

 

[SmokedMeat]

Came to ask for Trespasser lol

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Man I loved the Sega Genesis games, both the original and Rampage Edition. I also enjoyed the Game Boy one too, but it's admittedly a very hard game.

 

[shaddam]

For me this was the JP game

 

[CGNoire]

Skipping the Genesis/Mega Drive releases is a shame.

That first Genesis game was my first 16bit game that i owned. Not going to buy this collection because of it. They should make a classic Robocop game collection.

 

[TwiztidElf]

Who has nostalgia for any JP game???

 

[kurisu_1974]

Ugh Ocean. If you're not from the UK why would you even.

 

[shubik]

I used to have the SNES game and I remember it beeing the hardest game I ever played. I loved the vibe and music but I bounced of from it every single time as a little kid.

Also: if I remember correctly, there was no option to save the game.

 

[Tsaki]

Saw classic Jurassic Park games and hoped for the PS1 game where you controlled dinosaurs on combat and platforming levels. Such fun and scary times.

 

[NekoFever]

LRG? Can't wait to order these and play them in time for the 32nd anniversary then.

 

[Puscifer]

I literally opened this thread looking for Rampage Edition and couldn't believe they're ignoring the best game of that era

Holy shit thanks for turning me on to this.

 

[Fake]

So go to hell Limited Run Games. No Master System, no deal.

 

[Mattyp]

Megadrive is the only ones worth having

 

[ManaByte]

But the Ocean games sucked. The Sega ones we’re much better.

 

[drganon]

For me this was the JP game





Never liked that game as a kid. Every arcade I went to that had it wanted you to pay a dollar for one play.

Was that more than the usual? For "my" arcade in the mall everything was 100HUF

Usually stuff was at most 50-75 cents. Then again, it's been over twenty years at this point, so my memory could be wrong.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Yep. This is what came to mind and its what I want. With a lightgun that recoils like the Time Crisis arcade gun lol

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Cool. I won't give that company a dime though.

 

[Power Pro]

All of those games are complete trash

Limited Run Games is a trash company, so the shoe fits.

 

[AJUMP23]

Classic game bundles with developer commentary. And docs and behind the scenes information.

 

[Toots]

Where's my god damned Trespasser?

Everyone interested by this game (or those tits) should watch this let's play : https://lparchive.org/Jurassic-Park-Trespasser/
Really interesting walkthrough with a wealth of insider infos (i memory serves me right, it's been years since i watched it)

Weird idea to re-release those games, which were pretty bad, even with the Jurassic Park coat of paint...

 

[Games of Today]

Where's my god damned Trespasser?

We need this either officially released and ported as is or remade in Unreal 5 and released.

I've been dreaming about this for so many years. That game was way ahead of its time and even though the execution was terrible, some of its technical aspects were super impressive. And I liked the atmosphere, it captured the feel of JP quite well.

Also, I think that with this weird hand mechanic, a remake of this would work best as a VR game.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Fuck Limited Run. Just put a collection on sale digital (or a cheap disc/cart) for $20 and I'm good. None of this limited overpriced trash.

Are...are those what I think they are?

Damn, hard to believe that this was made in the early days of YT. Those classic LPs were so good, back when it was an actual curated thing.

 

[Saber]

Give me the Master-System version and I will give you my money.

 

[AlteredForms]

I'm guessing it isn't the chest tattoo game?

 

[ResilientBanana]

This was born to be a VR game.

Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks that.

Skipping SEGA consoles while the MS, GG and MD games were excellent ?

 

[kunonabi]

I left my my snes on all summer since we had to go on vacation in order to beat the Snes version of JP since I didn't want to start all over.

The NES was less of a chore but I really don't see myself playing through either of them again.

I'd have been totally down if the Genesis stuff was in.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Only interested in the SNES version of JP. They need to release it digitally and with an option to save. Maybe include a map too and some other QoL changes. The game is great but unfortunately it suffers due to these things not being in the game. It's hard as shit.

 

[The Stig]

100% this. The best game.

Though I did enjoy the gameboy and snes games.

This is one of the first let's plays I'd seen at the time...years and years ago and it set a standard that I didn't realize, until I watched a few other LP's that were just so much less interesting.

I LOVED Jurassic Park on the Genesis as a kid. I remember finding out a really cool easter egg discovery that if you looked in the game manual, on the section that explained passwords, it had a screenshot of a password that essentially skipped the hardest level of the game for me at the time. I thought I was so clever when I discovered that.

Jurassic Park on Genesis was a better game and better experience than that weird thing they released for the SNES. I'm pretty sure I got Jurassic Park: Lost World as one of my first games too for PSX on Christmas morning remember being blown away by the graphics at the time.

I was hoping for Warpath; Jurassic Park. Dinosaur fighting game was a legit idea.

Oh wow. I remember playing this at a friend's PS1 and being so jealous of it, since I was all about dinosaurs when I was a kid (due to Jurassic Park naturally).

Glad they decided to skip the Mega Drive version, those baby raptors are better left in the past and forgotten.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

The NES/GB game wasn’t THAT bad. It was hard as nails though, what with fuzzy hit detection, old-school traps (some loot crates would hide bombs that would damage you, so funny!), and some almost random “boss” sequences. I managed to beat the GB game back in my day.

I always read the SNES game is ridiculously long and has no save function, which is incredible for a 1993 game. I think I’ll try it someday.

The Lost World? Now this was much worse than the NES game. Horribly difficult, with atrocious hit detection. I never got far in that game.

 

[cireza]

The Lost World?

GG and MD versions are excellent though. GG is super short, but super impressive for the console. And MD is great, ton of content, awesome visuals.

Yeah, I read reviews at the time, but I was a Nintendo kid.
Crazy to think how radically different a game with the same name could be on different systems back then.

 

[jshackles]

1) Fuck LRG
2) Operation Genesis was the only good Jurassic Park game

 

[fart town usa]

The SNES game is wild. Like Zelda mixed with Doom.

I remember the Genesis one being mind blowing as a kid, being able to play as Dr. Grant AND a raptor. Graphics were stunning but the game was balls hard.

Playing as the raptor was such a wild concept, eating small dinos for health. Brutal stuff.
