Jurassic Park 1993

Is it still worth playing?

Ocean Software's 1993 overhead action game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, in which you control Dr. Alan Grant on Isla Nublar after the park's power fails and dinosaurs roam free. You have to rescue Lex and Tim, the grandchildren of the park's owner, John Hammond. There are six levels, each with several stages, and each asks you to collect a set number of dinosaur eggs and access cards, with objectives such as destroying Velociraptor nests and restoring power. Common dinosaurs can be shot with guns found in each level, while the Tyrannosaurus rex cannot be killed and has to be avoided. Mystery boxes give health, brief invincibility or an extra life, but some drain energy or take away a life. You have three lives and four continues, and two players can take turns. A hunt that makes its biggest dinosaur something to dodge, not to shoot, still gives each level some tension today.
