It's radical.

 

[The Stig]

I liked jurassic park rampage edition on genesis

 

[Lulubop]

Yoshi's Island. I'm not even kidding.

This

 

[hollomat]

The latest Turok game is certainly the worst.

This is all you need, OP.

not even kidding this game is theme park / rollercoaster tycoon / pokemon / sim city
play it right now.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Monster Hunter has dinosaurs.

I'm gonna go with this. Certainly has that JP feel OP is looking for.

 

[Zakalwe]

Dino Crisis 2.

Hopefully Zero Dawn too.

 

[Skeletos311]

Super Mario World.

It's definitely not Primal Rage.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This thread is a sad reminder that we lack good dinosaur games!

 

[Unit 33]

NANOSAUR

Dinosaurs + Jetpack + Double Jump + Weird Pellet weapons = Fun Times

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Turok 1 on Steam lol

Perhaps it's too difficult to animate dinosaurs, whereas zombies are just poorly animated humans.

 

[nekkid]

Operation Genesis is the best answer.

Trespasser for an honourable mention, though. That game was the epitome of a flawed masterpiece, for me.

 

[imjust1n]

No one mentioned far cry blood Dragon.

 

[dangeraaron10]

Another signal boost for Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. Great little park simulator and you can even play god in a dino free roam island if you wish. For something a little more action oriented...

We really need more dinosaur games.

Yoshi has some pretty good games. He's a dinosaur, though sometime's it's easy to forget. Tyrantrum is pretty awesome in Pokemon too.

 

[nekkid]

No one mentioned far cry blood Dragon.

The clue is in the title.

Spoiler

It was more of a feature in the game, rather than what the game is centred on.

 

[MrS]

DINO CRISIS

 

[Rolling Start]

I'm also repping Monster Hunter. Not all of the monsters are dinosaurs, but the first few usually are. The first bits of Tri where you step out onto the Deserted Island gave me major Jurassic Park vibes.

 

[CrovaxPSO]

Depending on how much you want the Jurassic Park stuff, Trespasser is pretty awesome just for the voice overs and seeing places like Wu's office and Hammond's bungalow even if they're pretty barren. Go into it knowing it's not a good video game and you might have a good time.

 

[Apoleptica]

Another vote for Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, unfortunately the game is rare and super expensive.

 

[RexNovis]

Still the best after all these years.

So zombies were never really popular, it was just bad animators trying to hide their mistakes? I'd buy that.

Yeah the best way to enjoy Trespasser is more like an experience. Due to the game being rushed. With a cheats/trainer it can be an enjoyable stroll.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Where's residentdante?


DINO CRISIS PS1

 

[Cepheus]

The Zoo Tycoon dinosaur expansion.

 

[Fraeon]

Primal Rage, obviously.

 

[GlassBurrito]

Sega The Lost World Arcade is the way to go if you want the best Jurrasic Park experience in a game.
This game in vr would be gtrat

 

[wapplew]

Jurassic park arcade.

 

[notaskwid]

From what I played Dino Crisis 2 (it's the only one I remember playing lol) but it'a pretty good.

really hope for trespasser in vr

 

[atomic moth]

Since we're really stretching the dinosaur genre here, I'd definitely like to mention TMNT: Tournament Fighters on SNES. Lots of depth, much better than most fighting games of that era, even compared to the arcade. SNES is superior to genesis version.


And there's a dinosaur-looking dude.

 

[Patrick S.]

I still have a copy of this for PC:

It's good fun, my son likes it too and we can take turns playing which is nice.

 

[immortald3ath]

Starfox Adventures

 

[Horseticuffs]

Joe & Mac, guys. Joe & Mac!

If you want to stretch it even further, Halo also has dinosaur enemies

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Came in here to say Yoshi and that was the first post. Damn, I wanted to say it. I really love that game's art and music.

 

[Inorganic]

Congo's Caper on SNES.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

if we are going joe & mac youll also have to add bonk

 

[Imp the Dimp]

N64 Turoks suck and have like 2 meters draw distance. Most of us were young and just enjoyed everything we got to play but let's be real - there's a good reason these games didn't go down as shooter classics. They're really fucking bad.

Good dinosaur game:

 

[Pau]

I'm gonna be terrible and say Starfox: Adventures because it's the only one I've played.

The Zoo Tycoon dinosaur expansion.

This too.

 

[BlanketFort]

hope one day we get a battlefield game that looks like this

One of my favorite pictures on the planet. One of my favorite concepts for a lot of things (movies, games, songs even!)

Put it in my veins!!!

 

[Klappdrachen]

hope one day we get a battlefield game that looks like this

Not enough feathers.

Spoiler

Looks amazing though

 

[visiblemode]

Is so weird that we don't have a fantastic Jurassic Park-esque game by now. The tech is there in a major way.

 

[BPoole]

That Jurassic Park light gun game they had way back in the day in all the arcades

 

[Data West]

Definitely not Jurassic Park: Trespasser.

I'd actually say it probably is, even with all its issues.

Just imagine Alien: Isolation with dinosaurs, man. I'd be in heaven with something like that.

 

[Corine]

Ark easily. Amazing game.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Monster Hunter has dinosaurs.

And it's the best.
