Holy cow, someone else in the world played this game. As badly as I did, even! (drat grass.)

I didn't have very high standards as a kid playing video games, but even this pissed me the hell off. They're Smurfs. It's GRASS. Why the gently caress don't they just go around it or step on it? Worst video game hazard ever.

This was one of the few games I had for this system and it drove me insane. This sums it up nicely:

Oh my god, I forgot about the hollow sound your head makes when it smacks against the ground. It makes sense, though. You'd have to be pretty damned brainless to fall over when you touch a piece of grass. :colbert:

Edit: Is that a poorly edited version of "Ode to Joy"? Guess their music budget wasn't too high either.

Worse; it's poorly edited "Simple Gifts." The Smurfs were really Shakers all along. http://youtu.be/kWTDgc96bg8

Oh wait, you're right. I got my songs mixed up.

If I remember correctly, the game was also really loving short...probably because the developers expected you to continually trip and fall over grass.

Hey now. While the controls are stiff, and the game a bit slow and glitchy at times, it's not a bad game. It has a survival horror element to it, especially since you can't kill the dinosaurs, and that Raptor could wake up any second, and OH poo poo RUN!


Volcano level loving sucks though.

Am I the only one who COULD NOT BEAT the last loving level? When nothing, not even rockets, had any effect on the raptors? gently caress that level.

And I agree with you on the survival horror part. I think what made that game so effective was the realism in terms of human physics. As in, if you fell from a 10 foot ledge, you would get hurt (grunt/health lowered). You couldn't jump up 6 feet. If you fell to your doom, you screamed.

And those loving dinosaurs. Holy poo poo. Those raptors were terrifying.
