This was the game that first introduced me to the RTS genre. The voice acting gave this game a quirky light-hearted vibe. Each level had you taking your human characters scavenging supplies and stealing dinosaur eggs that you could hatch into controllable dinosaur units. You can unlock a bonus level where you control one T-Rex and do as much devastation to San Diago as possible. With each difficulty-setting you have extra levels to try out at the end of the game's campaign. This game was way more fun than any movie tie-in game should be.
This game came from a time where licensed games had a higher than average chance of being good. It was also from a time when the RTS genre had more variety. Sure, you're still doing base building and gathering supplies, but that's not the focus of the game.
You also didn't often have games that would pay for the entire movie cast to voice their characters. Maybe things were different in the 90s and it didn't take long to record 45 minutes of dialogue. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this was a unique game from a unique period of gaming and it has been abandonware for almost 20 years. Time for it to emerge from the abandonware sites and get some kind of restoration and revitalization,
Amazing game with the real cast providing voice work. A really great RTS that felt really unique given the scenario. I would love to be able to add this one to the collection.
The basics are easy to pick up but the fun of building a velociraptor fleet or rampaging through a city with a T-Rex can't be beat!
Solid number of the original cast lent their voices as well!
THIS GAME! I love this. It's not only a time capsule of the time it came out, but also so enjoyably simple. I would buy this in a heartbeat and keep my eyes watching for the old school games from here on.
Cities: SkylinesCities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation genre. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience. From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You're only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!Sandbox Business
