Jurassic Park Longplay (Amiga AGA) [QHD]

[@wyndgrove9452]

Man, I was obsessed with this game. The settings are so well designed, even in hindsight.

[@nmlcygni5221]

One of the most underrated Amiga games ever.

[@foglakeproduction]

Definitely! 👌

[@danyoutube7491]

I wouldn't say it was a great game. Decent, but not great in my opinion. But then, I am fairly sure I never got past level 3 before I gave up (the 3D sections were definitely the weak point of the game). I spent most of my playing time (which was not inconsiderable) in the sewers on level one, which was quite tense with that crocodile thing swimming around. They designed that section rather well, making it necessary to get in the water and so expose yourself to that risk. But I think I also found it a bit frustrating; couldn't find the exit. The general gameplay was alright, and the graphics were nice, but I didn't find the weaponry very satisfying. It made sense to be using that electric thing most of the time, because he isn't there to slaughter dinosaurs, but it was not an exciting weapon and there was little opportunity to use anything else. Perhaps most importantly, having salivated over the screenshots of the T-Rex in magazines I never got to see it, not having progressed far enough. It was the biggest reason for me getting the game! Seeing it now, although it looks good in still shots I think they could have given it more frames of animation.

Yep, it's true.

[@benvinciblevince4067]

Dean Evans made some incredible music! I still to this day listen to this soundtrack! So much atmosphere! I loved how dark it felt, there was a distinct eeriness to this game.

[@applescruff1969]

Even though it's not music, i absolutely love the menu sound effects. So eerie.

[@benvinciblevince4067]

Landon Cooper me too!!! I always listen to that track! When I was a kid, I would just leave it on the menu screen and play with my Jurassic Park toys

[@SQron188]

I was about to say the exact same thing; the sewer track is one of the most atmospheric, immersive pieces of music I know of. The graphics inspired my imagination really strongly when I was exploring the game as well.

[@benvinciblevince4067]

@@SQron188 i would love a fan remake of this!

[@SQron188]

@@benvinciblevince4067 Well, the FPS part certainly reminds me of the various Doom Total Conversions and other WADs. I haven't looked it up; there may be a Total Conversion of these FPS levels already?...

[@CarlosFontes]

You can tell the devs really nerded out about the novel. Cool details they didn't need to include, but did such as the computer expecting a certain number of animals and then counting them.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

I lived for Jurassic park as a kid! I had some of the toys and the game on amiga which admittedly I found really hard with the respawning enemies and puzzling level design. I had to wait till the level codes came out in a magazine before I could really see any of the game

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

It's definitely a tough game, espcially the 3D sections.

[@adruralo]

I remember playing this game back in 1995. Took me a very long time to complete using text based walkthrough. Amazing you can now visually watch it on KZbin. Thankfully I still have a copy of this game along with my trusted Amiga 1200.

[@EpicJasonX9000]

I really wish MS-DOS & Amiga games such as this were available through GOG since that would be a great way for new players to experience these now forgotten gems.

[@Efreno]

Best ending ever!!!! Not the chopper... but the T Rex devouring you thanks!! This game reminds me so much of the super nintendo one those First Person parts really used to creep me out

[@nok13579]

I think this is still the best Jurassic Park game

[@deceiver444]

Average game with a great soundtrack. Managed to finish it back then, even though the 3D section music used to scare me stiff

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

It actually does look pretty fun. Sort of like an open-world Caliber 50 with missions and a storyline. Now I'm disappointed that I only played the shitty SNES version

[@ram-4]

A guy called Dean Evans did the music for Ocean. He also did Lethal Weapon, an equally great Amiga soundtrack!

[@Turk182_]

Average game????🤔

[@deceiver444]

​@@Turk182_average game with a great atmosphere

Can't believe how good this looks compared to nes and snes.

so many good and old memories...dude, thanks for uploading this video! :D

[@BikerBenny]

Wow Amiga has great graphics and music

[@turrican4d599]

Yeah, Amiga has, but thos game does not.

[@andrewguerra9343]

What the Super Nintendo version should’ve been!

[@redraptor6464]

I managed to get my hands on an image for this game to try out on an Amiga I restored for a client a few years back, and playing this on authentic hardware was an experience. I've tried the DOS version and the Amiga AGA version, and I have to admit the performance was much better than what you're running appears to have, that level 4 slowdown was rough. I had the Super Nintendo version growing up, and the only thing in that version that is superior to all others is the elevator had the best elevator music in any game ever lol

[@EpicJasonX9000]

it's a shame we never got a Jurassic Park game collection compilation release since I've never played the Amiga version as a kid, and it would be nice to have these games brought back in modern times in HD (and with some much needed save states for other console versions). looking at the footage now, I would of loved this back then if I even knew what an Amiga was when this came out. Dean Evans brought a lot to adding the dark, moody atmosphere in his scores since he also did the outstanding soundtrack to the SNES game JP II The Chaos Continues. I also love the added touch of those station screens being in different places throughout the park. I can actually imagine something like that being useful.

[@jamyskis]

Turns out we're getting one now, although only for the Nintendo versions of the Ocean games. This won't be on there. The chances of getting the DOS Version on Steam/GOG have just risen though.

[@mycatismolly]

Playing this as a 8 year old I never got beyond the T Rex. Scared the hell out of me playing it and I gave up!

[@RetrozaurusRex]

I was so lame back then. Never menaged to escort kids to the safety. Most of the times even sewers was too much to me. loved the music though.

[@TYNEPUNK]

back when amiga ruled the roost.

[@v509-cassiopeiae3]

This game was so underrated in the gaming press at the time. 60-70% only. To this day it's the best adaptation of a film I've ever played! The atmosphere was extremely dense on the amiga, the 3D sections were exciting like you hadn't experienced before. I think the bad ratings came because the game testers never got past the first 3 levels and simply used the passwords for the remaining levels to have a quick look. The level of difficulty was very very high. But you had to experience the game fully to understand the fascination.

[@Ireallylovetrains]

Had it back in the day. For a kid it was very tough and had a forbidding atmosphere. Never got past the triceratops in l2 without the codes! Great memories

[@sacredmoon4239]

Oh my God this version is nice. I've never seen this version. I'm still watching though to see if it's better all the way around than the super Nintendo version.

[@crappymeal]

Me and my brother never figured out the sewer level as a kid so thats as far as we got

[@danyoutube7491]

I think I eventually got a bit further, but the sewer did have me stumped for some time. I seem to remember getting bogged down in the boring and confusing 3D section, and deciding enough was enough, and gave up!

[@crappymeal]

@@danyoutube7491 there are loads of games that buggered us up

[@oxskull1831]

I never got past the final 3D section made it outside. Prob cuz I was fighting all the raptors outside.

[@ULTRAWIDE.]

Man the Amiga versions music is so much better than the DOS one.

[@burretploof]

This game terrified me when I was a kid. 😅

[@PrimevalDemon]

People talk about Ocean and even the JP games like they're bad but generally each iteration seems impressive and downright revolutionary, or at least closer to that rather than the way most seem to speak tonally. Obviously brand deals and such but that should show how well they did when so many more never even tried! This is a game unto itself more a branch from similar base as nes/snes were but that's all to say that the quality in presentation and in tone as well is very high seeing as it definitely wasn't their lone work or concernment.

[@RoqueFortStu]

I thought there were more monster types in the 3D sections of this AGA version, I may be mis-remembering the SNES version

[@104d_3rr0r_vince]

quite an effort

[@turok4977]

This is what I don't get about the game Is that the T. Rex only shows up one Time. Why is that??

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Looks like a cross between the NES and SNES version.

[@kennethshiro9500]

i know the snes ver is kind of a dumbed-down ver of this, but I prefer that version because it's an open-world adventure rather than a linear level-to-level game.

[@MrStrangermoon]

mega drive last offical game jurasspc park 2 lost world also look like this game and also have 3d secitons like this game.

[@MarcGameplays]

Good game. I played it on Amiga a long time ago.

Fantastic atmosphere, had a lot of book content in it, the river, the aviary etc...

[@gonzaloNMF]

Second that. It looks gloomier and darker that the movie, quite similar to what I pictured Isla Nublar would look based on the book.

[@ryanvalenzuela9894]

[@mikejohnson699]

Anyone ever notice the music similarities between Jaguar and Amiga?

[@BaconMinion]

I guess the sewer level was from the novel, rather than the movie.

[@redcomn]

Oh look at here the first pc game i ever play

[@Imgema]

Still can't understand the point of AGA. Most games look like regular Amiga 500 ones.

[@Jebbidan]

The point of AGA is to improve graphics capability

[@Imgema]

@@Jebbidan Ok, i know this. I just don't see it.

@@Imgema hint: lazyass programming

[@AL82RetrogamingLongplays]

AGA added support for more colours etc., but I'm not really sure if Jurassic Park AGA changed much. I guess the 68020 CPU made the 3D sections run faster.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

@@AL82RetrogamingLongplays I think the raptor fps sections run smoother compared to my old a600 hardware
