Jurassic Park for SNES

Released in 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Jurassic Park by Ocean Software is an action-adventure game that immerses players in the chaos of Isla Nublar. Inspired by the iconic movie and novel, the game puts players in the role of Dr. Alan Grant, tasked with escaping the dinosaur-infested park while completing key objectives such as rebooting power systems, collecting dinosaur eggs, and thwarting rogue raptors.

The game features a top-down perspective for outdoor exploration, showcasing lush jungle environments, and switches to a first-person view for intense indoor segments, like navigating the park’s power stations and visitor center. Players face off against a variety of dinosaur species, including Velociraptors, Dilophosaurs, and the deadly T. rex, using weapons like tranquilizer darts, rocket launchers, and cattle prods. Despite lacking a save feature, Jurassic Park was praised for its atmospheric music, engaging gameplay, and faithful recreation of the franchise’s thrills, making it a memorable experience for fans of the era.
