    I honestly think that Jurassic Park Operation Genesis should've been WAY higher, like in the Top 5 alongside the arcade games! Even to this day it's still an amazing game, and far ahead of its time! I'm not saying JPOG is better than Jurassic World Evolution, but speaking of which JW Evolution is actually a successor to JPOG, and it wouldn't be the amazing game that it is if JPOG hadn't existed, as JPOG set the foundation for just about everything great about JW Evolution! From the park building mechanics to the incredible dinosaur AI (which even in JPOG was very impressive for its time. Despite JPOG being older and having blockier textures, the dinosaurs were so lifelike in behavior and they genuinely felt like real living dinosaurs)

      Well, Trespasser did get a possibly unintentional spiritual successor in the form of Peter Jackson's King Kong. It had many of the same ideas in the FPS sections like HUDless gameplay and predators that could be distracted or lured away with food. Sadly, you can't find it anywhere these days, and only the console versions were any good anyway.

    I was about 11 when JPOG came out. I got it for my birthday and remember just being glued to it in my room for hours and hours. That game got me through a hard couple of years. I was being bullied at school and my parents were going through a pretty nasty divorce. Needless to say I didn't have many friends at the time, and felt generally very alone in life. But JPOG was always there waiting in my PS2 when I got home from a crummy day at school. I could just zone out and get lost in the little islands I would create and watch my dinosaurs roam free to a peaceful soundtrack, or wreak havoc upon the guests. This game really kept me going through all of that nasty business, and I have fond memories of hours of fun playing it. The fact that they barely touched on it, and how low it was on the list was fairly upsetting. JPOG will always be number 1!
    Also I played the living crap out of Scan Command. I thought the whole barcode thing was actually kind of fun. It felt that much more satisfying getting a new power-up for your T-Rex. lol

      It's arguably the most innovative first-person game since Quake. Adaptive AI that could determine your threat level and attack/ignore/retreat accordingly, a fully-integrated physics engine (*6 years before Half-Life 2!*), huge open levels in an era of corridor shooters, HUD-less play, dynamic music, surface-differing sound effects, A-list voice actors, world-building via audio logs, actual writing... probably more I'm forgetting...
      Unfortunately it's also extremely content-poor, with many features badly implemented, close to the point of unplayability. But there's still value in Trespasser, and a poor game with ambition, technical merit and a fair bit of atmosphere surely deserves a higher ranking than at least half of this list.
      (I'd also put the Sega Megadrive/Genesis JP and Rampage Edition higher, and JPOG obviously. The latter would be #1 if built on modern software.)

      The fact that it has a active cult following STILL is quite impressive.
      Most of these graphics are awesome. *For their era.*. SNES was the funnest of the game, and its mind blowing how it had a first person section. (Again, at the time.) Most of his complaints are due to thinks like "Terrain not being varied enough." well, its a 16 bit console, with limited memory. Of course its going to repeat. Its still amazing for its time.
      And that is completely ignoring that, in the 90s, video game tie ins weren't given scrips, just an idea, and told to run with it. Its no wonder why the Genesis games went the way they did.

    I think The Lost World: Jurassic Park for PSX is rated pretty low since it was one of the best games for playing a dinosaur and had some cool bosses etc
    I have lots of good memories with the arcade game and happy to see it made it up so high, though.

    Oh, my favorite subject! I've played almost every single Jurassic Park game there is. Let's see if we share opinions...
    Edit: Alright, you ranked Jurassic Park Interactive for the 3do, arguably the worst JP game ever created, higher in the list than the games developed by Ocean. What a joke....

    I grew up playing danger zone on my family’s pc, it was one of the first pc games I played. I remember my dad getting it at staples while my family was getting school supplies.

    The Jurassic Park for the Genesis is the real OG ! That Game captured the Jurassic Park feeling, the jungle ambiance, the T-rex design was on point and the fact you could play as a raptor was the cherry on top ! So much nostalgia 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

    I remember me and my sister played Danger Zone pretty much all the time when we were kids. We loved that game.

    I actually had a lot of fun with Scan Command. You didn't really have to scan barcodes, just anything with lines will eventually work. I remember scanning the arm of my couch constantly to build up power ups.

    I literally sneezed when you said you can beat the game in less time then you can sneeze XD

    Trespasser should be at the top of the list, yeah it might play like crap but the story, dialog and voice work alone especially from Richard Attenborough should make the game a must play for any Jurassic Park Fan.

      I agree it should've been higher on the list, but definitely not at the top. Maybe top 10, because of everything it could've been.
      But hey, it's a list where there's two rail shooters near the top so you can't expect too much

    Wonder how much Frontier paid them to put Jurassic World Evolution at the top of the list when Jurassic Park Operation Genesis was superior in nearly every way over a decade prior to it's release.

    The Lost world 1997 on the Genesis was pretty fun. And you definitely nailed exactly what went wrong, it gets pretty long trying to find something or blowing up a generator.
    The ending was a bit underwhelming as well. Still fun the motorcycle scene

    Man... we need an actual AAA survival horror Jurassic Park, one kinda like Alien Isolation.
    Imagine trying to sneak through a building or forest with raptors hunting you and other survivors. Maybe a wandering T-rex is around the open areas. You get tools to distract them, knock them out, and maybe sometimes kill them. Can maybe get them to fight each other while you escape in the confusion. Could be a very difficult but thrilling adventure.

    I find the SNES version very fun.
