I was scared of this intro

*gets hit with your darts*
UUH
UUHH
AAAAAHHHHH

>>719195967
the intro and really the whole game was scary, the music had a really unsettling jungle feel and all the stages were dark

>>719195512
They had good medical insurance and t
he was just starting a family, so he wanted the stability.

>>719195606
Carlos!

>>719195512
Genesis does what Nintendon't.

>>719195512
Their own park

i remember this game being hard as balls and having a lot of slowdown

last level soundtrack went hard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWqRMLvXSWE
>>719197168
the first megadrive game isn't hard at all as long as you can keep yourself stocked with weapons. the sequel was much harder

>>719197168
It was really unkind about camera too. Raptor can jump like a motherfucker, but you can't even see where you need to go with it.

>>719198393
Rampage was easy as shit wtf are you talking about. First game has the grant final stage with the bullshit puzzle, and the raptor sewer stage, my god that sewer stage is on par with Chakan level design.

>>719197168
Fall Damage is a bitch in this game, it's constantly taking chunks out of Alan's Health.

What about the Rampage edition

>>719198831
Final boss is incredibly boring and its short as fuck. Fun though.

>>719198831
It starts out WAAAAAY better. The first level is an action stage, not whatever the hell the sewers were.

Rise
From your grave.

>>719196124
That was my first videogame, it was a Christmas gift.

>>719198502
yeah that was one of the bigger problems with the game. it helps a ton to just memorize the stages
>>719198751
it only took me a couple of hours to beat the game with both characters. everything in it has a cheese strat

>>719195450 (OP)
incredibly kino but i always disliked the jurassic park 16bit games
rampage edition was only okay in my opinion

>>719198831
I couldn't get into it at all. Why was Grant even going postal on some soldiers or some shit?

For me it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHK6pwaeeZE&list=RDDHK6pwaeeZE&start_radio=1

>>719198831
The Ship was my favorite Stage. The Final Stage kinda sucked, but it is pretty.

kino map

Funny story, someone told me as a kid that the rest of the cast were hidden in the Levels and I spent a whole day looking for them.

>>719199204
>Why was Grant even going postal on some soldiers or some shit?
Think "Weyland Yutani." There's always an evil human element in these movies alongside the more natural animalistic threat. And I mean, Nedry was working for somebody behind the scenes, so it's not exactly against the theme.

>>719199891
there's INGEN, and uh I forgot who the other bad guy corporation was, EXOGENI? Bio Major? Something like that

>>719199891
There's a difference between subtle corporate espionage and "that's Dr Grant, send the full bulk of our mercenary army that we shouldn't have in the first place and fucking get his ass!"
That said it's a spinoff videogame so it can get some leeway

>game features choices
>one choice is objectively superior

>>719200217
Yeah, when dealing with a Sega Genesis action game, just don't question it. There's weirder shit in these things than an armed mercenary group.

>>719200417
>>719200217
Isn't there the OTHER JP Genesis game where Grant has a shitton of weapons and goes around just blasting man and dinosaur alike? It had a top down view and he had some kind of lightning gun.

>>719200558
I think you're describing the SNES game (or the NES game which is basically the same).

The Genesis ones are sidescrollers, until Lost World, which is also top-down.

>>719198393
every time i hear this track i wanna replay shadowrun but then remember the insane grind

>>719200738
RIGHT thank you it was SNES
I guess vidya makers in them days just thought it was easier to portray good ole Dr Grant as an action hero because a full survival game closer to the movie would have been too hard at the time

>>719198393
I can't comprehend how anyone could tell you SNES had a better sound chip than Genesis

>>719201061
because that track is mid at best, typical GEMS fartfest

The Sega/SNES Games are the closest we're ever going to get to playing around with Muldoon's Rocket Launcher from the book.

>>719200321
this was amazing to me as a kid, to my young brain it was like playing as Godzilla

>>719195967
same. the T-Rex saying "Sega" scared me and the opening to Grant's game scared me too.

>>719201061
Big Apple 3 AM mogs Turtle Swing and it's not even close

>>719203227
Same. I still haven't gotten over the coolness of playing as raptor.

>>719200321
I beat the game a million times as Grant but I could never figure out how to beat Grant at the very of the Raptor's game. I legit thought you were supposed to lose as a kid.

>One Stage is Grant traversing the Island's Volcano
>That same Volcano erupts in the 2nd Jurassic World movie

Huh.....foreshadowing?

>>719204029
I just assumed you were supposed to approach from JUST the right angle. But the truth is even simpler. You kick the base of the skeleton he's standing on. There's no indication that it's fragile at all, no cracks, no nothing. Just attack this random piece of scenery like you were supposed to know physics applied to this background element.

>>719200892
Which Shadowrun is the "definitive" version, SNES or Genesis?

>>719195512
>>719195606
Heh

I really liked playing as the raptor in the Savanna stage just going fast as fuck murdering everything, this is the perfect game to showcase why CRTs are not a meme for emulation. An anon the other day link me to a shader for Retroplay to apply the effect of a full CRT and it is awesome.

>>719204176
Volcanoes are just "dinosaur core." Especially because for a long time people thought volcanoes alone made them extinct.

>>719195740
>>719196124
As a horrorfag, I'm impressed.

>>719204393
Depends on your definition of "definitive"
If it's "closest to the tabletop" then Genesis hands down
Otherwise I find SNES to be a much better game even if it's linear and simple

>>719196124
for me it was the power plant

I want them to make another Jurassic Park run 'n gun.

I only had a Megadrive and I didnt have a snes so my main experiences with Nintendo was the Gameboy until I got an N64. So I was more of a Sega kid. I'd say the biggest influence Sega had on my life was my taste in music. The music in games like Revenge of Shinobi and the Streets of Rage games and the Sonic games in particular.

>>719204908
same. to me the 'Genesis sound' is what video game music is.

>>719204908
>The music in games like Revenge of Shinobi and the Streets of Rage games
so Yuzo Koshiro

>>719195740
>>719196124

Jurassic park on the genesis is goated. I dunno why I got stuck on the boat level so much as a kid

>>719205317
IIRC the boat level is kind of a maze where you have to go down the right waterfalls... also the T-rex is kind of unpredictable and he can 1-hit kill you.

>>719204981
>>719205170
also Super Hang On and Golden Axe and X-Men 2 Clone Wars

>>719205317
Was it the zip line guys? The zip line guys are really annoying.

>>719205493
I dont remember zipline guys I remember waterfalls

>>719205546
No, I'm dumb. I got confused and thought you meant the Ship Level in Rampage, that's on me.

The Boat Level sucks because it's a guessing game which path isn't instant death. I had to use save states last time I played it.

>>719205493
you're thinking of a different game
>>719205317
river was tricky for the first time but once you cleared it, the level was stupid easy every time you played it after.

>>719205473
for me it is the Adventures of Batman and Robin OST
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=915k0mMK-Fo

>>719195450 (OP)
this game scared me as a child

>>719205940
it was moody, had dark and gritty color palette, and was filled with scary digitized dinosaurs, it was scary for kids

>>719205473
I'm partial Rocket Knight Adventures' music too
Hell I'm partial to Rocket Knight Adventures' everything, honestly, best game on the platform if you ask me

>>719206063
>best game on the platform
that would be Donald Duck in Maui Mallard

I miss when every game had a unique intro. Now days its the same thousand companies generic logo in a row

Why was the Genesis so spooky?

The intro to this game and The Adventures of Batman and Robin legitimately scared me as a kid, both Genesis kinos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntOA5PTSATE

>>719206334
Sound chip made scarier sounds than normal sounds
Color palette was extremely limited

>>719204746
>genesis
>this
Sounds like shit. For the Genesis sound card, it should sound way better.

>>719195450 (OP)
Rampage Edition is way more complete, but I love the original one >>719196124 since it's the first Genesis game I had

>>719206334
It was simply the edgier more big kid system. Sleeker, darker, more badass, Tendies don't want to admit it still.

why did japanese genesis games always have fantastic music and western games usually sound like farts?

>>719195450 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQZZ3Hgbmh8&list=PL1B7E6CD3610BFF42

>>719206718
because amerishart games mostly used the GEMS sound driver

>>719206349
this game scared the shit out of me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Gg9Fabrus
also briefly had splatterhouse 2 but it was promptly returned after it gave me and my brothers recurring nightmares
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFS2LsmjbBc

>>719207162
Splatterhouse is peak Genesis
It's not even my favorite game on the platform but I feel like it just embodies it somehow

holy gacha slop
fucking kill yourself you weeb social outcasts
protip:being a loser is universal. japanese hate you as well

The Genesis/Megadrive was always more serious/scary than what Nintendo had.

>>719207162
>unregistered hypercam 2

>>719206534
Rampage feels like a shitty arcade game.

>>719195450 (OP)

This would be so much better if they looked like shaggy feathered muppets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJHch9IeMRw&list=PL1B7E6CD3610BFF42&index=8
It had such neat soundtrack

>>719207252
>gacha slop
bot post

has anyone played Lost World for the genesis? Those 3D stages blew me away, especially the one where you run from the rex and have to ram his head against the fence with the car

it's silly as fuck now but i remember it scaring the shit out of me, especially since it could snatch you out of the car and 1HKO yyou

>>719207486
i had no idea there even was a Lost World game on Genesis of all things, wasn't that movie like late 90's? 97 I think? Wtf was it doing on Genesis?

>>719198831
I liked figuring out all the special moves you could do with the raptor. Lots of button combos. Plus eating your victims. It all really sold the power fantasy of being a vicious dinosaur

>>719207486
I have. Both as a kid and replayed it this year as well. Still plays alright, but the slowdown in coop is too much.
>>719207570
>Wtf was it doing on Genesis?
Ironically, being the best version of the game

>>719207486
I can't believe that they managed to put that game inside a cartidge

Almost every soundtrack is integrated in my head because of how much time sometimes I spent in those levels.

>>719207570
i guess you could call it an open world game but it's more "complete missions in a zone, get the boss fight, move to new zone"

it had 3d stages at the end of each zone as the boss, the t-rex escape along with the music is something that's deeply engrained in my mind to this day

>>719195450 (OP)
How many DIFFERENT Sega's...are there?

>>719207826
>>719207703
this is blowing my mind I had no idea there were any Genesis games as late as 1997 wtf

>>719198987
Altered Beast was so much shorter than I remember. Also it's hard not to view it as bara musclefurry transformation fetish shit because the internet has fully poisoned my mind. Oh and the bad guy is practically le happy merchant

WELCOME TO YOU'RE "DOOM!"

>>719198987
Powerrrr up!

>>719198987
>>719207946
>>719208014
why the actual fuck has Sega not re-released the arcade versions of Altered Beast and Golden Axe yet?

>>719199491
I'm sorry anon, but that story wasn't funny at all.

>>719195450 (OP)
Game Gear version was genuinely better to me, as SOVL as this is.

>>719198831
That takes me back

>Be me, 11 years old
>Need to get new shoes, old ones worn out
>Dad decides to give me 120 bucks to spend
>He figured the kids liked the expensive nikes or whatever
>Sends me into the shoe store to pick something out while he does stuff
>I buy the cheapest 18 dollar sketchers because they're comfortable enough
>Go to Toys R Us next door and spend the rest buying two Sega games (Rampage Edition and Beavis and Butthead)
>Dad finds this hilarious
>Have a great time playing both games

>>719208597
Useless fact: the Master System version reskins the protagonist to Dr. Grant with scaled down sprites taken from the Genesis version.

>>719207838
Are we including TV commercials?

>>719207838
the sonic one
the screaming meth head one from commercials
countless ones of licensed characters saying it

>comix zone
>brutal: paws of fury

all i know of

>>719208983
that game was particularly farty, I remember renting it. the same team made the first X-Men game which also farty as hell.

90s dino mania was a fun time to be a kid

>>719208983
>not Maximum Carnage

>>719209556
it took me until I was like 25 to realize after so many years that Primal Rage is basically Ray Harryhausen: The Fighting Game.

>>719208983
>>719209556
spiderman vs. the kingpin was the best spiderman game on the system. it had actual web slinging and photography mechanics

>>719209556
god bless the dude who restored the sequel to a playable state

>>719207264
It also had more gross out stuff like Toejam and Earl.

>>719209864
Well, the console was trying to be more "mature"

>>719195512
An apple.

>>719195740
For me it's the car switching from the jeep to the explorer then back to the jeep again.

>>719195512
They paid in cute Unix-using preteen girls, which are delicious. Er, I mean, that dinosaurs find delicious.

I had a dream as a kid that I beat this game, having been stuck at the final boss as both Grant and the Raptor, complete with a final epilogue level where you're running along as the Raptor to the dock. I even did it by breaking the skeleton and everything.

But it didn't seem to work in-game so I dismissed it as the way to win.

I wonder if we will ever see a faithful adaptation of the novel? Would it work better as a game or episodic tv series?

>>719205238
watching this with the lights off as a kid was terrifying

KEGA FUSION FUCKING KICKS ASS
I FUCKING LOVE SEGA GENESIS GAMES

>>719208802
Isn't the protagonist on Game Gear also Dr. Grant?

>>719210952
bro what
i never noticed

JESUS

>>719195450 (OP)
Fun fact: BlueSky also got the deal to make an Aladdin game, but that was on the back burner while they made Jurassic Park, widely seen as the bigger brand. Disney got so angry at the slow progress that they cancelled the deal and handed it to Virgin Games.

Is there a way to adapt an original 3pad and 6pad Genesis controller to pc?

>>719211861
Yes, you can build it from scratch yourself or buy it if you're lazy. Called Daemon adapter.
Can make it for few others controllers like SNES. Also has virtually no input lag, so no need to ever think about buying another retro-bit or 8bitdo shit.

>>719195450 (OP)

>>719195450 (OP)
*crunch*

>>719214854
my cousin had this game, it used to piss me the fuck off

>>719195450 (OP)
I had a bootleg Megadrive with a bunch of games like JP, and including one weird one that was two games in one cartridge, where you reset the console to switch to the other one. First was Sonic the Hedgehog 1, and the other game was, of all things, a Doraemon game, a property I had zero familiarity with at age 3 or 4, whatever I was (an still do I guess), and the game was entirely in Japanese so I had no fucking idea what was going on. You beat the bosses by playing rock paper scissors with them, so I did learn something from it.

I think I had a four in one cartridge too.

>>719215742
now this is kino, I wish I had a Sonic / Doraemon matchup back in the day

>>719215742
Now I know it sounds dumb to have to learn rock paper scissors from a video game but even the "3, 2, 1" countdown was in Japanese so the timing was confusing and it was just random hand signals to me. I thought I had to match them at first.

>>719216419
alex kidd had a RPS minigame as well, with the countdown in japanese. jan, ken, pon
