Jurassic Park (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of Ocean's 1993 action-adventure/first-person shooter for the Super Nintendo, Jurassic Park.
When the game came out, I remember looking at reviews and photos thinking it looked sweet. It was probably in part because the movie was like the most hyped thing ever, and it was amazing (at least so I thought as a kid - those special effects back then were pretty revolutionary), but it still looked good as a game. Doom+Zelda+dinosaurs? I mean duh, that's an obvious win.
When we rented it, I was amazed. It looks choppy and lame now, but the 3D levels were kind of terrifying back then, and just the fact that they were 3D really made them a big deal. I never made it very far in the few times playing it: I got so lost in those indoor levels! But, I had a good time with it anyway. It was an incredibly difficult game, and it still makes me grind my teeth in unhealthy ways.
It's kind of neat to reflect on now, but as an adult playing it again almost 25 years later, I'm thoroughly unimpressed with it. Maybe I should've just not gone back to Jurassic Park..
Haha, it's not that it's bad. The mechanics are solid enough, and the 2D graphics still look reasonably good. The soundtrack is as good as I had remembered, though I never understood why it so randomly shifted to just ambient noise or another song as I'm getting into the jungle music :)
The place that the game suffers the most is in the 3D levels. They impressed at the time, but today they border on unplayable. I spent hours mapping out these stages before doing a final recorded run of it, and I still had a hard time with it. The frame rate seems to always be in the single digits, so turning feels like driving a Mack truck, and since so many rooms look identical, it takes about two seconds to get lost. And these levels get massive - the biggest has five floors. No wonder I never got anywhere as a kid. I suppose I have much more patience now.
It was a great game for its time, but for how modern it was, it has aged less gracefully than even Donatella Versace. If you don't know her, look her up. A picture really is worth a thousand words.
Looking at it now is fun through nostalgic eyes, but if you have fond memories of it, don't go back and play it again. I assure you, disillusionment won't be far behind. It's better than many of Ocean's style-over-substance titles at the time, but this one had a lot of potential to become a classic. So many of the elements were there. But they never came together properly, I'm guessing because the thought of flashy money-maker shots on the box won over the guys in charge.
The other huge disappointment is the ending. I mean, seriously?! You made a game this hard, and the ending is just about identical to the intro? Mode 7 isn't that cool, guys - what a kick in the teeth after making it through the gauntlet.
Jurassic Park was just soooo cool when I was 11, but in hindsight it tripped over its feet for how it soooo wanted to do things that it could never properly hope to do. The SNES wasn't a Ferrari. Hell, it wasn't even a Corolla. It was a Skoda with a nice paint job. The devs set their sights a bit too high, for sure.
I did get a kick out of the random Kenner logo on the Visitor Center, though. I'd totally forgotten about that one. It was also shown in the ending of the NES Jurassic Park, which is a significantly better game than this one, despite everyone's belief (mine included) at the time that the SNES was unquestionably the version to get.

I never once beat this game. I had no clue what to do or where to go. I would get so scared in the buildings that I would hide in the elevators and listen to the music to calm down.

As a kid I put literal YEARS into beating this game. It was my childhood nemisis. Considering the scope of this game, and how much effort went into it and everything, I was convinced that the end was going to be EPIC. So, for years I toiled away at this game. Exploring absolutely everything. Finding all the keycards, the eggs, all the secrets. Nights only illuminated by the glow of my CRT. My child brain trying to stay brave in the 3D sections. Imagine my fucking disappointment when the end sequence was just the intro in reverse followed by "Congrats". I think that night I literally vomited with rage. I'm pretty sure I shit my pants in protest.

[@JCarey1988]

My condolences. I had the biggest rage in years when I finally finished it as an adult. I didn't even get the video game mags so I didn't even have a chance to try and enter the contest when the game was new.

You describes most nes games , “okay” games but shitty underwhelming endings

[@Anomaly188]

Given how much this game takes its inspiration more from the book and not the movie it could've been a lot worse. The movie ends after the survivors escape in the helicopter, but in the book the survivors (Alan, Ellie, Tim, Alex, Robert, Donald, and Dr. Harding,) are all detained by the Costa Rican government and informed that they're not going home any time soon, the Costa Rican Air Force completely destroyed the island with napalm to eliminate the dinos, and that an unknown pack of animals have been moving around in the Costa Rican jungles eating farmers' crops and chickens which hints that some dinos had successfully escaped and reached the mainland.

[@bill351]

This game randomly popped into my head so I came to look it up, and I'm glad that everyone else had the same experience as a kid: -No idea how to accomplish objectives -Enjoying the music -Getting really scared at the first-person parts -Never actually beat the game I feel a kinship with all of you.

[@tylercooke920]

I would play this over and over and over every single time I went to my grandpa’s house. I could never beat it because the game was never able to save somehow even though it DID have a save function. So at the end of everyday I would get closer and closer to beating the game but my mom would come pick me up and the second it was turned off all the progress was lost. Every. Single. Time. 😂 I still never beat it to this day yet it will always be one of my favorite games

[@hanon2012]

[@largol33t1]

You missed out on nothing. You just waste half an hour running around looking for eggs. Seriously, what were they thinking? You don't even get to fight the T-rex. One of the worst games ever released on Super NES because it was mind numbingly boring. I frequently shut the game off after an hour because it bored me so much. Even a plain racing game on Super NES was more fun than this.

[@ShockerTopper]

[@SunnysFilms]

Back in 1995, my parents got me this game for Christmas. They knew how much I loved Jurassic Park and dinosaurs, and I was so excited when I opened this up Christmas morning. The game started off fun enough - until I had to go inside one of the buildings and got lost and found out you couldn't complete missions out of order and had no idea what to do. I thought maybe it was just my dumb kid brain, but after watching this walkthrough, I'm still lost. All those rooms in all those buildings (and the boat, apparently) look the same and there's no map to help guide you and no way of knowing where you've been. Thank you for uploading this walkthrough. It was still really cool to see the game played to completion and finally get closure seeing that incredibly anti-climatic ending. I still have this SNES game, and I'd say I might play it again someday, but knowing there's no way to save my progress means I'd have to be in it for the long haul, and I just don't have the time. Still, nostalgia overload right here.

[@threezysworld8089]

LOL I had to map out the inside kf the buildings. It was way too easy to walk around in circles if you didn't somehow track what ground you've covered.

[@MT-vi6vb]

As a wee youngin, this was the first video game that made me feel truly "immersed." After playing for some time I would completely forget about my physical surroundings and become completely immersed in the game world. Man I loved this shit - and watching it now feels like some distant dream from the 90s. Nostalgic.

The gameplay and especially the Mode 7 rocks. It's the Ironman difficulty and complete lack of guidance that kills the overall experience.

I have to say, I don't know how I beat the game originally, unless I sat with a guide pulled up on my computer or something, a lot of this seems really random; how is anyone to guess WHERE to gain security level 1 or 2, OR to be near the bottom of the ship to call for the helicopter, especially when the last task is to plant the nerve gas in the raptor nest..... only to THEN high-tail it back to the ship? Still, a really fun game!

Just like pretty much everyone here, I was lost 60% of the time, specially in the 3D map/buildings. Also felt scared playing it but I wanted to beat it so bad, unfortunately I never could and then moved on to my N64. But I’m here because every time I use facebook messenger, and I hear the sound effect of someone messaging back, my mind goes to this game and the sound effect of opening doors on the 3D buildings. It’s so similar! Isn’t it? I think another one is whenever you collect eggs and the yellow card pops up, it’s that sound that sounds like facebook messenger.

[@JCarey1988]

There's some logic to it if you remember that the dinosaurs cost a completely CRAZY amount of money to create. Trying to catch the adults running loose is a fools errand, obviously. But if you were absolutely desperate not to lose your entire investment you could still try running off with any eggs. Of course what the game doesn't implement is angry parents/packs guarding said eggs. Which you absolutely would have to get past IRL.

[@johnnymartinez733]

I think people like and prefer this one better though.... But the second one is also great no doubt

[@damienfayant5390]

The hero of that really was the elevator and its music.

[@barryfennell9723]

"Que lindo eres" Jurassic Park doom clone. For a movie video game this was great. Never could finish it.

[@Amadeus8484]

Everyone as a kid told me you could get into the Raptor pen where all the trees are itself. It never happened :(

[@OneTwoMark]

When I was a kid i seem to remember my cousin playing this and getting to a part where youre in a car being chased by a T Rex, but couldnt find in this video or others. He didnt want me to have a go at that part cause he knew id die as a kid, and i did lol.

[@ZalesakVID]

That's one of the different games, I think JPII for SNES

[@OneTwoMark]

@@ZalesakVID I had a look, and the one i remember was a different perspective. Where the car is driving down to bottom of screen and T rex chases from the top.

[@ZalesakVID]

@@OneTwoMark In that case, I'm not sure. It certainly wasn't this one, and the sequel is a side scroller, so I dunno which it could be.

[@jvee6683]

This game frustrated me for years no idea what to do no save or password entry yet it was still fun 😊

[@Rokabur]

Really wish we could get a GOOD modern open world Jurassic Park game, possibly set among all of the islands (preferably at 1:1 scale of the real world).

[@JCarey1988]

Same. This is just crying for a remake. The Isle is the closest thing there is ATM and you can only play as dinos for now.

[@violeteyeztarot]

I loved this game and played it with my lil bro. I used to love chillin by the ocean to listen to the song at 57:12

[@Arbeedubya]

My biggest complaint about the game was that there was no way to save it and resume play at a later time. I did think the T-Rex charging out of nowhere and chowing down on Dr. Grant was pretty hilarious, though.

[@thelastgamer1]

I was a kid when this came out tried so hard to beat it cant remember where I used to get to just know it was past the night vision parts and having less then 6 eggs to get

[@johnochiltree1170]

The amount of times I tried to beat this game and never once coming close! Forgot how good the music was

[@Kalaida]

So according to that weird introduction, Isla Nublar is located in the middle of a giant lake surrounded by rocky mountains.

[@mynamejeff9027]

I remember I would play this game as a kid and have no idea what I was doing The even funnier part is that I was born a decade after the game came out

[@bruh_original]

Dude. This is exactly how I played it too. My uncle was a game collector and that how I played it lol. It was awesome.

[@goatsmiserable555]

I was a kid when this came out and I’m an adult now. It still confuses the hell out of me lmao. Without a guide I would be lost. The ship is the worst location on the entire map. It’s so large and easy to get lost.

[@parin3140]

I always just headed directly to the secret room to get extra lives and extra bola & rocket ammo after I stumbled into it. It made the game easier to go through without worrying about running low on lives.

[@danmang923]

When I was little competing this was a dream to me. I was never able to do it. And due to no save system you always had to start from the beginning……. At least from what I remember. Those indoor parts use to scare the hell out of me!

[@ThrillaWhale]

Pretty sure those first person rooms were the source of most of my childhood nightmares.

[@MB-rl5hi]

This game was a living Nightmare as a Kid you were always anxious while playing this... The building Area was Scary asf. I never beated the game and now I finally saw how it ends 😅 after like 13-14 years later

[@allthebootlegsnacks7675]

Oh man this game was so intense when I was 6 years old playing this down in the basement with my boy I miss the good old days this is definitely one of my top favorite games for snes hahaha double dragon was awesome too

[@Azuraeon]

There was an infinite ammo exploit in this game that I discovered. All you need to do is find a floor where ammo can be found, ride the elevator either up or down and go back to the floor where the ammo is. The ammo will always respawn and you can hoard as much as you want.

[@CanadaDragon1]

I used to play this game a long time ago back in the late 90's and early 2000's when I was very little. Being so young, I had no idea what to do to win the game. I just wandered around just to see the dinosaurs. I used to think the Velociraptors were T-Rexes. Speaking of which, I never found the T-Rex until recently I found out that you have to go to the area where there's a white letter "E" on the grass. I don't know what the "E" stands for, but that's where you go to see the T-Rex.

[@JCarey1988]

The white letters were related to a contest run by the software company that published the game. Check the Wikipedia entry and/or my PSA comment.

[@jessejames6157]

oh man what a nice memory watching my 2 older brothers play this, even tho i never got a turn I just really liked the music :3

[@Greenpoloboy3]

I loved this game but never finished it.... Either I had to get off and couldnt save it, or I wanted to play another game, or I got completely lost and had no idea what to do next

[@JCarey1988]

Nintendo should not have allowed companies to publish games without a password/save system. It really was unfair for younger players who were given limited times each day (if that often!) and usually had to share consoles. Basically guaranteeing you can never beat those titles.

[@Greenpoloboy3]

@@JCarey1988 Yes! Totally agree with you. I'd get to a point in the game , then have to turn it off due to dinner or some other reason, like mum wanting it turned off or someone else wanting to play something

[@ProWrestlingReality]

I never seen the movies but had this as a id and thought it was cool now looing back makes me think of it as my first survival horror experience

[@doomsday2703]

Someone explain to me: why did pushing the box in the raptor pens somehow stop the raptors from entering the Visitor Center? Did I miss something?

[@thisaccountdoesnotexist7142]

i love how half the game cartridge’s storage space is taken up by just the elevator music

[@JCarey1988]

Funnily enough, the elevator sequences were where a terrified kid player could recharge their nerves. I listened to that 32khz elevator music for a fair amount of time back in the day.

[@Luke17d]

I almost beat this game without using any guides. All I was missing was just one egg which I could not find. It was still the best game I played when I was little :D

[@JohnnyOTGS]

Not exactly the better movie based video games I have played, but it was quite good enough. I only got up to the Ship episode where you need to liberate the ship from the Dinosaurs, but couldn't figure out how exactly to stop it from sailing.

[@professionalpissdrinker5623]

That moment when you rush deep in the jungle an a dinosaur comes from nowhere and you're just like "AAAAH WTF HELP"

[@julesgamergourmand]

I play my favorite film on my favorite console, it was very emotional to have discovered it with my best friend. I never managed to finish it, I miss an egg and a card every time I try. I love the game's music. Incredibly nowadays, the 3D mode scared me so much that I didn't dare play.

[@VideoGaming4U]

I really like this game, but I hate that it is so freaking long! WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK!

[@pixelgoat7317]

That first track when you start the game, just after,"Welcome to Jurassic park!" is a goddamn banger!

[@shortbusryder8584]

Just seen these games are coming to newer consoles! I remember playing this on snes having no clue what i was doing lol cant wait to play it again
