Jurassic Lark: Part 01

Still love the SNES versions Elevator Music.

Raptor Busting Your Doors!

The in-game music for the NES game sounds a lot like the classic C64 loader track for Comic Bakery by Martin Galway:

Edit: Apparently a few others had noticed too.

Anyone else noticed that the first game has Comic Bakery for music?

Oh, thank god someone else said this! I missed this live and probably would have shouted this at everyone. Comic Bakery is arguably the most famous C64/Amiga cracker tune of all time. The GB Jurassic Park game had a version of it, too.

I noticed :)

I was waiting, WAITING for the SNES first persion section because I remember that blowing our minds as kids and I suspected it would not hold up at all. "Boy do I hate being right all the time." We were stupid children.

the first person segments were cool back then, but just haven't aged well. Sure, there were great PC games out at the time, but the SNES ports of Wolfenstein and Doom came out after this game.

Spooky games: Old and Busted

Dinosaur games: New hotness

You guys are stuck in the 90s...

I LOVE IT !!!!!!

Loved the SNES game. And the Amiga game just terrified me, even though it's kind of shit.

This was great, looking forward to the next part!

Wait, why is Comic Bakery in the NES game?

I thought it was going to be something with Lark Anderson, and then I found it isn't.

:(

Yeah, me too. :(

I did not remember the Mega Drive version chopping up so badly. I remember it being absolute crap, but not dropping frames like that. Is it maybe the less than legitimate hardware they're running it on? Was the PAL version maybe better? Was I playing Rampage Edition perhaps and I'm just misremembering?

Man, that game was bad.

clever girl at 20:50

Blue Sky Software, creators of Vectorman!

@MariachiMacabre: I just thought it was funny, lol.

OK, so I went and watched Jurassic Park again after like 15 years. Hope you're happy, Keplek.

Aw man, you talked over the T-Rex that said "Sega!"

SNES version all the way!

I'm sad to say I was a Mega Drive owner and this title and SF2 made me want a SNES and envious of my friends who owned a SNES.

Is the second part coming up today?

I...I Haven't even watched this video yet BUT I AM SO GODDAMN EXCITED!

scary first person hole

I so hate that damned NES game. Could never finish it as a kid, since it's just a bunch of unfair bullshit and terrible design.
 
Oh and Lost World > JC 3. By far. (Even though, yes of course, the book is way better.)

I agree with Patrick. Jurassic Park 3 is better then Lost World.

gah, I still can't watch any of the premium video. For some reason GB player just doesn't work for me since the switch it only used 1/20 of my bandwidth. Sending email to support didn't do anything either...

Try downloading them. I used to download premium stuff overnight when streaming stopped working.

The JP mark!

Always look for the JP mark!

This is bringing back some awesome memories of getting SO mad at the genesis jurassic park game.

Ugh, I totally remember renting these when I was a kid. I forgot there was a nes version. It's so old.

I had fond memories of that SNES game, Maybe I shouldn't have.

Jurassic Park was such a big deal on the Genesis. A friend had it, and we were at his place all the time, so I convinced my parents to get me the cheaper Jurassic Park for Game Gear. I was shocked to find they weren't anything alike, but I still played the hell out of it, because it was one of the few video games I had. There's batteries in my Game Gear right now. I should try that game again...

Oh god, I hope he plays Trespasser.

When you write Patrick Klepek out in Google, is it just me, or is the first result "is annoying" for anyone else?

Anyway, time to see how this goes, Friday the 13th was a good feature.

When playing the Snes version at release I didn't know the objectives. I knew that I had to find the different key cards and stuff but it wasn't until years later when I read the manual when I realized it tells you what to do and in what order. That you have to collect all the eggs and get the gas grenades or whatever. Still one of my favorite Snes games.

I had that Jurassic Park game for Genesis. I freakin' loved it back then. I remember beating it with both Grant and the Raptor. I loved a lot of bad games as a kid.

Laughed at the flannel, tremendous choice.

There were a few of the Jurassic Park games that I loved. The SNES and Genesis versions stand out for some reason.

Man the music in that SNES version IS pretty good.

The SNES game had some really great gameplay and interesting elements, completely undermined by the lack of any kind of save or password feature. As a 10 year old kid it was like playing Dark Souls with no saving would be today.

No @patrickklepek, T-Rex is short for "The Rex."

Thanks guys! Looking forward to the next part :-)

This video made me realise that I've actually played all three of these games. I'm shocked and ashamed. I also bought Trespasser as well and was expecting it to be good because of the one to one movement controls... Damn.

I really loved the NES game as a kid and that version seemed to have held up the best so far.

sweeet

I'm fairly certain the Lord of the Rings SNES game could use the mouse.

I have good memories from the snes version.

OMG i owned jurassic park for the Genesis, that intro scared the SHIT out of me as a kid. OMG

@Abendlaender:

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis? It was on consoles and PC. There was also a separate GBA game if I remember correctly.

I must have had inhuman patience and/or a masochistic streak as a kid to have actually beaten that Genesis game. Even back then I thought it was terrible and figured people only liked it because of the graphics; no idea what actually compelled me to finish it.
