[Let's Play!] Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis - FINISHED - 04/15/08
Posts
I tend to not like Video Let's Plays though, I would rather read one than watch. However, your idea of capturing the screams would be hilarious in video form :P
Plus, I can rack off literally three dozen Aliens quotes off the top of my head right now from memory. I would weave them into the commentary seamlessly.
But man, the best lets plays are games youve never played, like operation genesis. a fucking rts/sim city cum theme park style jurassic park game, never heard of it but man do i wanna play it.
There can be only one
Also if it were up to me raptors devouring tourists would raise your park rating.
So does anybody have recommendations on park or tycoon type games?
I think you should go back to building up the park for real. I vote for getting the park to a huge behemoth with a five star rating, then letting loose a dinosaur hell that would put the movies to shame.
Nice LP.
I have the path all set up to go and come back to the station but nobody goes on the damn thing
how do I encourage people to come away from near the park entrance? And don't say "dinosuars" because they ignore my awesome car ride and just romp off towards the meat eaters
He's a motherfucking Carcharodontosaurus! All hail!
Nice to see him murdering a Spinosaurus. Warmed the cockles of my heart. As did the Velociraptor devouring that tourist before being "retired". That little guy had such promise. Almost as much as Norman does. :twisted:
First off, make the begining and end of the track connect right near the gates. Also, try dropping the price to get people interested, or changing the type of attraction it is (Happy, trilling, nature, etc)
As for the people.... I found building more entrances worked, as people rarely ventured far from the main gates.
Theme Hospital? I really liked that game.
Anyway, pretty awesome Let's Play thread you've got here, it's the first one I haven't lost interest in almost immediately.
I just read through all of them and loved every minute. Next chapter please!
Edit: Condemned LP would be sweet. It would be cool to capture the good scenes on video at least, but if you've never played before I guess you wouldn't know when they were coming.
The rollercoaster tycoon games are a lot of fun. Case in point for RC3:

This thread made me finally open it and toss it in.
I played for like six hours straight. I don't know how! It isn't even a good park building game! I pretty much just did a bunch of stupid little mini-games and built vomit inducing roller coasters. No park management, I mean the place runs itself. So now I'm stuck with a new, stupid addiction and still crave an actual park building game. Didn't one of the Zoo Tycoons do a Dinosaur expansion pack? Are those any good?
:whistle:Norman was a Man!
I mean, he was a Dinosaur-Man!
Or maybe he was just a Dinosaur!
But he was still...
Noooorrrrmaaaaaannn!:whistle:
X-box, PC, PC- best seller edition, or Best Value Medallion Edition?
If all the PC versions are the same, just let me know if PC will be better than X-box.
Tropico
...the theme of the park is you're a dictator of a Caribbean island. :winky:
that game was great
Both Zoo Tycoons have dino expansions. Right now I have Zoo Tycoon 2 with expansions, and at least to me, there isn't much room or animation for mayhem and destruction. Though I'll be honest and say I never tried to do any carnage and mismanagement in any of the tycoon games before I opened up this thread, my god Norman....
"My name is Norman king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
I'm just writing it up now, expect it today!
I decided that having the 3 Kentrosaurs in their own pen was kind of a waste, so I’m consolidating them into the bigger pen.
Up up and away!
Last one…
Enjoy your new home!
Now I have a smaller, empty pen right in the front of the park. While people seem to enjoy the leaf-eaters… the really seemed to enjoy the bigger scarier looking ones… so I’ll think I’ll bow to the public’s wishes.
But the golden age can never last. The wind is beginning to pick up, and the rain has started. Off in the distance, I notice something… The apocalypse has come.
There is no time to evacuate. I have no way of protecting my children, no way to protect the dinosaurs. The death has started. I cannot stop this.
Ripping through my park without regret, concrete and steel shatter and rip. Man and beast both are no match for it’s power.
Throwing my babies around like rag dolls, 50 feet in the air. I feel helpless.
Bodies start to fall. I watch in horror.
I start to regain my senses. As I process what is actually happening to my livelihood, I start to panic.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!
THESE THINGS WEIGH THOUSANDS OF POUNDS! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!
YOU ARE MAKING MY CLIENTS VERY UNHAPPY MR TORNADO!
WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU GOD?! WHAT HAVE I DONE!
Ok, so maybe I was falsely acting in your stead. Yes, maybe I was trying to become you, playing with life, bending it to my will.
But really, who hasn’t? These gentle creatures have done nothing to you.
Look at those bodies fly, aren’t you overreacting a bit?
Then I realize something, I need to cover my ass. All these deaths have cost me so much money! I remember now that if I activate the emergency alarm I am no longer liable!
With the realization that I’m no longer financially responsible, I’m starting to calm down. I realize that not only are all my helicopters unable to fly, but the fences are down… And the dinosaurs aren’t happy.
But I must remember my priorities. I must find my children, I must find out if any of them are ok. I can’t find Norman anywhere, but I hear wining off the coast.
CHOMPY! OH MY GOD! I’LL SAVE YOU!
There, back on dry land.
Oh Jesus, I forgot… there are people everywhere.
Chompy… Down boy!… I know what your thinking…
Well fuck.
CHOMPY! PUT HER DOWN!
Or not.
There is so much Chaos, the people are panicking. There is nowhere to run!
Much like Chompy, the other dinosaurs don’t waste much time.
They realize the opportunity that has presented itself.
And they start to feed.
The board is not happy. They are threatening to shut down my park!
Wait, whats that?
Is that… oh god it is… a few large beasts are easy to handle… but I didn’t expect the Raptors to survive…
This is their park now.
I am powerless. The dinosaurs however… are not.
Such power! Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
There are still so many lives on my island. There is no way we can evacuate in time.
But the military arrives. They try.
I’ve waited too long! I must leave.
Those that are left are slaughtered.
But wait… they see something…
God is not done with this place… but I am.
Fin.
I hope you enjoyed it!
Man, I'd love to see a Jurassic Park 4 now where the first thirty minutes is a successful park that has been running for years without any incident. Now, on one of the busiest days of teh year, a freak tornado hits crippling any form of escape and releasing all of the dinosaurs.
It could be Jurassic Park 4: Human Genocide
I'll miss you Norman.
Also, sorry to plug my site again, but I've uploaded the last chapter over there as well. Check it out if you will. I need to build an audience :P
-edit-
If you pass this let's play onto anyone, could you send my site link instead of this thread? Thanks guys!
Sir, I shall wear that name with pride. Norman was the greatest evil overlord who ever ruled with an iron fist and a ravening maw!
$49.99 used? Really?
Just how rare was this crazy game?
Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
Earlier in the thread I asked for a dinosaur apocalypse, instead you gifted me with an Act of God, Tornado, Hurricane, and Raptor Kill Orgy.
Thats like taking awesome and putting it in a blender.
Mmmm, awesome shake...
Genius.

They didn't print many and I don't think it sold very well when it was released but I'll be damned if people didn't ask for the game left and right when I worked at GameStop...which I haven't done for two years. What few copies are out there people aren't trading in.
