I was completely autistic for Jurassic Park when it came out. Read the book. Played the Sega game. Poured over all the preview articles in magazines. Read the book again. Fantasized about all the girl characters. And then when the movie finally came out I didn't go with my family to see it because I wanted to stay home to fap. I didn't end up watching it until years after my obsession had already faded. Kind of funny to think about now.
The game was cool though despite the naysayers, especially since you could play as a raptor and it was basically two separate games in one.

The movie really is quality. I also recommend the episode called 'Animaniacs!', where they have an animation festival at the school. It's one of the funnier episodes. Can't decide if Dodo just submitting the old Joe McDoakes short So You Want To Learn To Dance, or Monty's short where he brutally murders Buster and Babs with a sledgehammer is funnier.

I've never played this mod, but a mod of Zero Hour is out and you can play it as an FPS game, on a keyboard and mouse. It's a somewhat new project but I think it still fits the /vr/ theme since it's based on Zero Hour. I would like to try this myself.

The devs were specifically asked by 3D Realms to make a third person Duke for two main reasons:
1. Third person games were becoming more popular at the time thanks to IPs like Tomb Raider. 3D Realms wanted "side" Duke games to try and cash in on this trend while Forever was still in development.
2. 3D Realms wanted to hide the fact that Zero Hour was still being made on the same engine as Duke 3D. Going third person would help give the impression that the game's tech was all new.

The guy behind Zero Hour Overclocked held a two hour long interview with a couple of the original devs where they talked about this, along with a bunch of other stuff. It's on the mod dev's youtube channel.

I wish there was a way to get Duke Nukem: Time To kill in first person mode. I love that game and I always wanted to play it as first person shooter. It's great that we live in a time where those 90s fantasies of 'I wish this was a first person shooter' are actually possible now.

>to hide the fact that Zero Hour was still being made on the same engine as Duke 3D.

They could have said "we made a new graphics engine for Build" or simply "we improved the engine"; but instead they did this. This is why I beleive they hid it to avoid paying royalties to Ken Silverman. It worked too, nobody found out until 15 years or so ago; despite the fact that once you know, it's very obvious (they even used Duke3D's sector effectors, in fact I wonder Duke3D programmers should have gotten royalties too).

Bumping this thread, just reached Victorian London. I've never played the original game but I'm really enjoying myself. I've only missed one time machine part so far. I'm playing with a controller though and I wish I could enable rumble. Some sensitivity settings would be nice too.

That's great. I'm going to play it soon too. If you miss a time machine part you can always level select and get it back.

Psx greatest hits aren't hated, they're just generally viewed as less valuable to collectors and the cover is ugly. Also a lot of cart fags didn't keep the case so it's less noticeable on a shelf next to a bunch of other grey recrangles.

I think it mostly comes down to an aesthetic thing, the gold just looks good and Nintendo knew it worked because of the Zelda packaging design, people loved them. So here instead of just feeling you're buying a cheap discount version, feels the opposite, a premium collector thing.

>ITS A BIZARRO REALITY BOT BAIT TROLL THREAD
>brought to you by Tranny Smith!

Nigga, Players choice was ssuch a neutered concept, there were games that sold 1 million and were excluded from this tsupid label, such as the Street Fighter games, Mortal Kombat 2, Killer Instinct, really it was just the games nintendo wanted to re-release because they didnt bother to add cult classics.

Thats were Sony beat them, with Greatest Hits not only they included games that sold half million and 1 million units, they even re-printed rare games that got positive word of mouth and previously only got putrid limited releases (SotN for example, almost all relases you used to saw in the wild in the 2000s were the GH green label, good luck finding an original 97 print black label).

If anything Majesco covered Nintendo just a tiny little by reprinting more obscure choices that nintendo left out like Goof Troop, Aladdin, Super Bomberman 2, TMNT IV, they also reprinted Megaman X1, Super Castlevania IV and the original Street Fighter II The World Warrior (but who wanted that version at that point?), unfortunely those had the terrible cheap ''assembled in mexico'' labels, and also most of the rest of the games were mediocre shit like AAH Real Monsters!, Scooby Doo Mistery and Tom and Jerry, yeah...........

But for some strange reason they also re-printed Super Godzilla which original US 1994 Toho print was rare as fuck, i have a beat up Majesco cart tough (pic related), really out of the 48 titles they re-printed only like 18 to 20 decent to okay.

They made it third person because were inspired by Tomb Raider. It's just what they guys at Raven wanted to do, it was the plan from the get go. It was something that really wasn't possible before because of hardware limitations so it excited them.

I don't know what is it about it, maybe the fact you can't do much but fly around but it really feels like you're not playing the game or at least not in a satisfying manner, it feels like a really pointless task with no stakes that plays out itself.
