Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition

May 17, 2007 by Tom Briggs 2 comments

You’d think that after everything he’s been through, after all his near-death experiences with dinosaurs, Dr. Alan Grant would stay as far the hell away from remote islands as possible. Apparently, he must has some deep, subconscious attraction to them, because he keeps going back for more. In Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition, the good doctor is actually trying to save the vicious reptiles from InGen thugs. The beloved raptor also makes a return, and with new graphics and equipment, it’s a whole new adventure in the most dangerous place on Earth.

Jurassic Park (CD)

May 14, 2007 by Rodger Swan 1 comment

Jurassic Park CD is a decidedly different take on the franchise. Going the point-and-click route, it was a fresh experience that forced gamers to think instead of shoot, and any misstep could result in a quick death. Read on and see why there’s yet one more game that should be in your Sega CD library.

Classic Collection

May 10, 2007 by Zebbe 0 comments

Europe saw many releases that never came to the U.S., and among them was a series of compilation carts that featured four Sega games each. One of them had Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Flicky, Altered Beast, and the seminal Gunstar Heroes. Quite a handy little collection on a single cart, wouldn’t you say? Well, it just so happens that we have a full review for you, so check this one out and see if it’s worth adding to your library.

Dracula Unleashed

May 3, 2007 by Rodger Swan 1 comment

A while back, staff writer Rodger Swan reviewed Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the Sega CD. You have to commend him for having a strong enough stomach to sit through such a thing, and the same can be said for his willingness to tackle yet another Dracula game. This time, it’s Dracula Unleashed, and it’s actually not half bad. Check out his full review, but just be sure to cover your neck.

Disney’s The Jungle Book

April 30, 2007 by Tom Briggs 0 comments

Virgin Interactive, together with Disney Software, produced some of the most solid platformers on the Genesis, racking up such hits as Aladdin, and The Lion King. One title that flew under the radar of many gamers was The Jungle Book. Some may say that it takes more than a few pages from Aladdin, but they’d have things backwards. Programming guru David Perry stopped work on Jungle Book to tackle the famous game, and he brought a lot of its gameplay elements with him. Unfortunately, it was released afterward and eventually got lost among a wave of quality games that arrived in 1994. Anyone who’s a fan of either of the aformentioned Disney hits should give it a try.
