Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection Launches Later This Month On Switch

Glad they added the Genesis games, those are the ones I grew up with. Would have been nice if they could have included The Lost World for the Genesis and Game Boy though.

Only retro Jurassic Park game I played back then was that park building game on the GBA, I miss it. The World games doesn't truly do it for me. :c

Where's the Amiga/DOS version?!

Genesis Jurassic Park games are the best.

@HaileySheridon I think Sega Genesis and Sega Mega Drive are the same. It was Genesis in the US and in Europe it was the Mega Drive

@HaileySheridon Genesis is the North American name for the Mega Drive. Same console.

@Heartless666 I am as I was only 9 when these released, being a big fan of JP and being some of the first video games I ever played I have fond memories of them. I just hope rose tinted glasses don’t disappoint from the reality of the games now though

They should have added the arcade shooter

Operation Genesis would have been swell

But then again, so would Zoo Tycoon 2

@Heartless666 🙋🏻‍♂️ As I played these back in the day, I do love a bit of nostalgia

Finally, will pre-order when available on eshop. And with the mega drive games, this is not looking like one big pile of dino sh*t!

Only played the SNES game when it first came out, the first person parts were incredible back then. But to be honest, I never had any idea what I was supposed to do, just walked around going from building to building.

I've only played the SNES one, I think, and really only remember Ocean's kickin' soundtrack. I'll probably get it just because I'm a dork for nostalgia.

Used to just boot up the first game on NES or GB, and just stand there listening to the first level theme for extended lengths of time. Ocean Software didn't make the best games, but the soundtracks often slapped HARD.

I loved the NES one as a kid but I'm sure it doesn't hold up.

Kind of a shame it doesn't include the PS1 titles.

The price tag is a little high, but damn am I excited to play Sega Genesis Jurassic Park again!

Damn, where's that Sega CD game!???

I suppose the title for this collection is only partially false advertising. These are, in fact, games but I hesitate to think of them as "classics".

@Gigotis @Cable I guess the author didn't know the difference between a Genesis and Mega Drive. I thought we all knew and it was reference to how it's a GENESI that we haven't heard of before. I know back in the early 2000s I might've once or twice read a forum topic debating if that or Genesises is the way to speak of two or more of the American version of the Sega Mega Drive console.

They were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

Raptors are nice and cuddly…. until they’re not.

@HaileySheridon actually wondered if Konami might do that after the Turtles one. Throw in the arcade game and Space Mutants. But I'm not sure that many of them are that fondly remembered these days.

Would have been nice to get The Lost World from PS1. Remember liking it ages ago but may not have aged well.

How do they even manage to make it 2.5 GB? That's like 10 times the size of the games.

I was only aware of the SNES game, which we played back then & liked a lot. It was also way too hard for us. I might want to revisit that one for nostalgia. How much was it again?

I guess the physical version will take a while to be available.
But I'm not even sure, I wanna get this. Both SNES games are hard as hell. PART 2 is pretty unfair. Maybe the Mega Drive JP is the best of this collection.

Very cool. I'm glad to see all these collections being done. I still have the original SNES and Sega Genesis JP games. So I'll pick this up eventually when it goes on sale.

It would be nice if there was some kind of USB mouse support for the First Person sections on the SNES Jurassic Park.

I played a lot of the Genesis JP games but rare the Nintendo ones. Glad to see they are included as well.

@Joeynator3000 the park builder on gameboy advance would have beat them all. Most of the games in the collection really aren’t very good

Kinda wish it had the Sega CD game

I think I dabbled in one game here. Not something that attracts me.

@Nintendo4Sonic the physical has already been and gone on LRG’s website

Even if they added the other games, this would be a bad deal

I remember going to see the first film, was a big thing at the time. Had to look a few of these games up, interesting to see some of Ocean's later console releases as they were such a big part of the 8-bit mirco market here in the UK. The Game Boy 'Chaos Continues' made me laugh, a very Beano looking Dr. Grant with a gun, blasting dinosaurs... It looks like a much better collection than when first advertised, so will see how the emulation and presentation looks.

Hype. I preordered the physical edition as soon as it was available. Can't wait for it to arrive! Now they just need to do a Lost World collection!

the digital is the same cost as the physical ... seems fair lol

Ah yeah a bit too expensive. Will wait for a sale.

As soon as the Genesis title was included I was onboard. Wish we could have had the Sega CD and 3DO games as well, but what can you do? I splurged on the VHS tape Collector's Edition on this one. So we'll see if I can hold out until they're shipped or end up buying digitally, too!

@Joeynator3000
I also had that game. It was fantastic!

@ModdedInkling
Arguably the best of the 16-bit releases.

@ModdedInkling
I agree. I was looking for that one as well.

Oof... Who needs this I ask .. lol

The first-person stuff in the NES game blew me away back in the day. Haven't played any other Jurassic Park games afaik.

@HaileySheridon I guarantee if they did a Simpsons collection, none of those would be on it. It'd be arcade game, virtual Bart, a million versions of Bart Vs the space mutants and krustys super fun house.

I've never even watched a Jurassic Park film, but I've ordered a physical copy for the GB ROMs.

@HaileySheridon or older ones who are slowing down a bit! I seem to remember feeling pretty tired when level 1 turned to level 2 but with save states and rewinds it might be an interesting curio.
