It won't be as impressive as it was when it was released. The dino fx was mind blowing. But then there is stuff like this:

I want that OS.

You know, that 3D UI is actually real.

read the book instead
not saying the movie isn't good, but the book is far better

Yes. I also loved The Lost World (the book, which had absolutely nothing to do with the movie).

Jurassic park 2 for Super Nintendo was awesome and had some of the best music comparable to Donkey Kong.

Here is JP 2 game play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aSRLtmyDAU

Donkey Kong: http://youtu.be/DT8L9ensdlM?t=19m43s



This is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-62CwgsnXW4

Try Trespasser for PC. Microsoft hyped it, but it ran like ass even on high-end systems. The game was unplayable with constant glitches and control that just doesn't work. They attempted a physics engine and you can tell they were going for something like Half Life 2, but failed miserably.

It was trying to be Crysis and Half Life 2. The limitations weren't only technical. It looks like there was quite a bit of incompetence or the developers were forced to release an incomplete game.

Agree, the only book I read in a day. Story was amazing.

Born in 1983 here, saw both these movies in theater. Doesn't get much better for a kid.

'82 here, and I personally liked reading the books afterwards more, but still enjoyed the movie. I thought Airframe was even better than Jurassic Park and Lost world, but glad these movies got me into a good author, and that movies are always a hack condensed story to appeal to a broader audience.

Speaking of Jurassic park games, this totally brings back memories:

Funny thing is when I played it I had no clue what I was doing. I kept trying to start the generator, had no idea it was a button..... in *gasp* the generator room. lmao

I totally have to load that into an emulator and play it again some time. If anything, so I can just go in the elevator and leave the music running.

lol i forgot about that game! i had the '93 jurassic park PC game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo6958hNyqY

got it with the first PC my parents ever bought (only had C64 before that)

never did beat jurassic park - too confusing

 

[Sho'Nuff]

i just realized that despite seeing like 200 gifs about jurassic park, i have never actually watched the movie

is it worth watching?

Yes. The CGI holds up fairly well despite being 21 years old. And the story is quite good too though not a faithful adaptation of the book. Plus it stars . . . wait for it . . . Newman!

you guys talking about jurassic park video game ... the genesis version was the best one by far.
