I also beat the Jurassic Park on SNES by playing it a lot with my friends, drawing out the fps sections on graph paper, and taking notes. hXc kids.

I find this somewhat more believable

it helps infinitely to have notes on when there's gonna be a raptor to your right or left that you can't see when you open a door.

i also really liked the lost world game for genesis. it was top-down and i beat it... but i really couldn't tell you at all what the game played like. i should try and find a copy (or at least a youtube video to see that i'm not horribly wrong)

There was a pretty decent JP3 arcade game, too, but the only youtube video of that one is from a cabinet where the light guns don't work.

That looks awesome. And either I'm drugged or I can't tell what the fuck is going on. But it seems really ahead of it's time intellectually.

Oh it was. You started the game as a fish and could eventually evolve into a human though I think I ended the game as some sort of terrible flying monster with pointy teeth and claws.

Whelp here goes another hour of wiki-ing and researching about Evo.

Highlights of the game include:
-Being a dinosaur
-Killing dudes
-Evolving based on how you killed dudes

Zoo Tycoon Dinosaur Digs was also the best Jurassic park simulator ever.

Mr.Sunshine

Oh the distant past of 1985 when EA was made of awesome. They made and published games like this.

I just found it on GIS, but now I've followed the links and I guess you can get it from the artist here:

Doesn't seem to be available in poster size though, only 11"x14". EDIT: Oh, and it's sold out

Awesome artwork for sure though.

I almost liked the original JP arcade game better. I doubt anyone will remember this in detail, but it was 6 player X-Men era, and instead of lightguns, it had joysticks with triggers. You had an on-screen reticule and it was on-rails. There were some awesome levels where you would be chased by a TRex (whilst in a Jeep), and in order to prevent him from fucking you up you had to hit 5-6 identified spots on it within a certain amount of time.

It was awesome.

Dinosaurs for Hire

Oh my god...I...

...I thought I was the only one. That game ruled. Proof: there are dinosaurs with sunglasses and leather jackets in this game. Not quite flying an F14 but it was 1993.

fuck

I fucking loved this game

immediately thought of this game when I read the thread title. This game was fun and pretty tough from what I remember.
