Brings back memories...
...but not good ones. I "played" this when it was published in 1995 and was just as underwhelmed then as I am now by games like this. A friend of mine, who was a sucker for graphics, bought it the first day it was released and showed it to me. Back then, the game more or less screamed, "Hey, look at my pretty renders! Can you hear your graphics card's sobbing? See my beauty! Yes, I use top notch, state of the art graphics, bow down to me! Never before have you witnessed such pulchritude!" To which I replied, "But what about the gameplay?" Game: "Huh? What do you mean: gameplay?" I: "The gameplay; is there anything beyond the nice graphics?" Game: "You've lost me... look HERE, a breathtaking, full motion cutscene!" I: "You really don't know, what I mean, do you?" Long story short, there really is hardly any game worth playing. The abolutely, utterly unforeseeable story mainly consist of railroading the MC from one pretty background to the next. And even by using the brute force approach to adventure games (trying to use everything in your rather limited inventory with everything or everyone else), you can be done with this game in roughly 30 minutes. Is there anything else worth mentioning? Oh yes, you can die if take a toilet break while visiting and staying at the one screen where even the background music tells you to leave. Really, there was no reason to buy this title then and there certainly isn't one now. Apart from looking at 1995's state of the art graphics. P.S. Humans riding dinosaurs? Whoever gave this title the science tag ought to be shot.
Is this helpful to you?
