'''''Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition''''' is an Action game released for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] in 1994 and developed by [[BlueSky Software]]. The game is the direct sequel to ''[[Jurassic Park (Mega Drive)|Jurassic Park]]'', which was released the year before on the Sega Mega Drive.
+
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] action platform game developed by [[BlueSky Software]] and published by [[Sega]]. Based on the 1993 film ''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park (film)|Jurassic Park]]'', the game was first released in the United States in October 1994, and was later brought to Europe, Korea, Australia, and Brazil in the following months.
 +
 
 +
An evolved sequel to the earlier 1993 title ''[[Jurassic Park (Mega Drive)|Jurassic Park]]'', ''Rampage Edition'' features improved programming, artwork, and gameplay design, and greatly expands on the original release.
  
 
==Story==
 
==Story==
−
The game takes place directly after the first game. Dr. Alan Grant's Helicopter has crashed back onto Isla Nublar due to unknown circumstances (he apparently crashed not too long after takeoff). Back on the island, Grant must fight his way through not only hoards of dinosaurs but also some unknown group of soldiers and guys that look like janitors. Presumably, these men are either Ingen workers, people from the company Biosyn (the same company that hired Dennis Nedry to steal the embryos in the novel and the motion picture based on it), or members of the Costa Rican military.
+
After the events of the first game, Dr. Alan Grant escapes Isla Nublar on a helicopter. While the Costa Rican Army is blowing up parts of the island to destroy the park's dinosaurs, Grant spots a helicopter of armed InGen field agents arriving on the island. Fearing that the agents have plans to collect any remaining dinosaur eggs and DNA samples for a new dinosaur park, Grant attempts to contact the Costa Rican Army. Grant's helicopter crashes on the island after the pilot attempts to stop him. Grant survives the crash and must find a way to stop InGen.
  
−
Just as the previous game, the player can also choose to play as a Velociraptor. In the game, you play as a different Velociraptor trying to escape the island.
+
==Gameplay==
 +
{{ScreenThumb|Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor Rage.png|width=200|Raptor Rage}}
 +
Like its predecessor, ''Rampage Edition'' is an action platforming game that allows the player to choose between Dr. Grant or a ''Velociraptor''. The game features a faster pace, larger levels, more enemies, and more weapons for Grant to use. Both characters move with {{left}} and {{right}}. They duck with {{down}} and move while ducked with {{downleft}} and {{downright}}. They jump with {{C}} and jump off of some platforms with {{down}}+{{C}}.
  
−
==Gameplay==
+
Dr. Grant travels through the island while fighting InGen agents and dinosaurs until he can escape by boat. Grant starts out with a dart gun with effectively unlimited ammunition. A wide selection of weapons is available to obtain throughout the game, including an assault rifle, shotgun, flamethrower, grenades, rocket launcher, and shock rifle. Grant cycles between weapons (for which he has ammunition) with {{A}} and uses the selected weapon with {{B}}. Fired weapons can be shot at upward angles by holding the D-Pad while shooting. He climbs ladders with {{up}} and {{down}}. He automatically grabs ziplines. He cannot use weapons while on ladders or lines.
 +
 
 +
The Raptor tries to escape the island on a departing cargo boat to find a safe place to nest its eggs. The Raptor fights with physical attacks such as biting and whipping opponents with its tail. The Raptor runs with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. It bites with {{A}} and kicks with {{B}}. It whips its tail by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction that it is facing with {{B}}. It jumps higher with {{up}}+{{C}} and spin jumps by pressing {{C}} again in midair. It can jump kick with {{B}} in midair. It pounces with {{down}}+{{C}}. Collecting Lysine crates with {{down}}+{{A}} increases a meter; when the meter is full, the Raptor enters a "Raptor Rage" mode where the screen turns red and it becomes invincible and can kill enemies by touching them for a limited amount of time.
  
−
The game plays similar but also different to the first game. As Dr. Alan Grant, the player uses an assortment of weapons and ammunition to combat the dinosaurs and people that block their way and attack. Controls for Grant are the same as the original game. {{A}} makes Grant switch the current weapon he is using. The default weapon is a Dart Gun with an extremely large supply of ammo. It is possible to run out of the darts though but difficult to do. {{B}} makes Grant fire his current weapon. {{C}} makes Grant jump. Grant can no longer cling onto ledges like he could in the first game but hardly needs to.
+
As either character, the player starts the game with four lives. When the health bar is emptied (or the character falls down a bottomless pit), the player restarts at the beginning of the level or the last checkpoint. Fall damage has been removed. Grant retains his weapons and ammunition after losing a life. The game ends if the player runs out of lives.
  
−
As the Raptor, the player must use a combination of physical attacks, jumping, and eating the Lysine cases scattered throughout the levels to progress through the game. Pressing {{A}} makes the raptor bite. Biting can be done in several ways depending upon what part of the D-pad is pressed. Using the bite attack is required to eat the Lysine cases. After eating a certain number of these, (the number required becomes greater with difficulty level.) the screen turns red and the raptor becomes invincible for a limited time. This allows the player to kill any normal enemies the raptor touches with one hit. (the exception being the Raptor's final boss.)
+
The game has three selectable difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), which affects how much damage is taken from enemies.
  
−
Pressing {{B}} allows the raptor to kick. Pressing {{B}} and the D-pad button opposite to the direction you are facing will allow the raptor to attack from behind with its tail. {{C}} controls jumping. Tapping {{C}} once again in midjump allows the raptor to spin jump for higher distances. The spin jump can be used while moving backwards. Pressing {{Up}} and the D-pad button in the direction you are facing enables the raptor to run fast. Jumping and pressing {{B}} will make the raptor do a flying kick.
+
===Weapons===
 +
Weapons are only used by Dr. Grant. He starts with a Tranquilizer Dart Gun and acquires additional weapons along the way. Weapons have limited ammunition, and the ammunition quantities are retained between levels.

This level is available to both Grant and the Raptor from the start and can be chosen by the player as an alternate to the other two choices the player gets at the start of the game. As Grant, the player starts off the level being carried to the top of the level by a Pteranodon for dinner in the nest. Grant must make his way down to the bottom of the level to complete it and must avoid getting picked up by Pteranodons that swoop down to grab Grant and take him all the way back up to the nest. As the Raptor, the player starts at the bottom of the level and must make their way to the Pteranodon Nest that Grant was taken to at the start of his version of the level, and grab the egg in the nest. After doing this, the player must make their way back down to the bottom of the level.

===Improvements and Differences From The First Game===

===Improvements and differences from ''Jurassic Park''===
−
Unlike the first game, which used stop motion prerendered sprites and actors in costumes, ''Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition'' uses what appears to be a cross between cartoonish and pre - rendered sprites. The sprites look sort of pre-rendered but are very cartoonish as well. Animation frames move faster and smoother. The odd slow downs that occurred in the original game are nonexistent (not frame rate drops but some other kind of slow down.) and Cheap deaths are not as frequent, Dinosaurs actually die, and the game is more fast paced. The stiffness of the controls that plagued the original game is no longer apparent.

Due to similarities between game engines, it is very possible that parts if not all of the source code from'' Jurassic Park: Rampage Editio''n were used for ''[[Vectorman]]''. Many mechanics for the platforming elements of ''Vectorman'' are similar. This is no surprise since BlueSky Software was responsible for both games.

Due to similarities between game engines, it is very possible that parts if not all of the source code from ''Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition'' were used for ''[[Vectorman]]'' as [[BlueSky Software]] was responsible for both games. Many mechanics for the platforming elements of ''Vectorman'' are similar.

[[drx]]'s February 23, 2008 release yielded 11 prototypes, some of which had many differences from the final. Unfortunately, for some reason only 9 of the said prototypes will run on Kega Fusion. The two oldest, the 0620 and 0622 betas will not run on any emulator. When loaded on an emulator, the player is greeted with a black screen that lasts forever. Oddly enough, the ROM header information says "JAPAN GAME NAME" rather than "JURASSIC PARK: RAMPAGE EDITION". The 0630 prototype, which is the third oldest beta released, has this header as well but runs properly.

Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition is a Sega Mega Drive action platform game developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega. Based on the 1993 film Jurassic Park, the game was first released in the United States in October 1994, and was later brought to Europe, Korea, Australia, and Brazil in the following months.

An evolved sequel to the earlier 1993 title Jurassic Park, Rampage Edition features improved programming, artwork, and gameplay design, and greatly expands on the original release.

Story

After the events of the first game, Dr. Alan Grant escapes Isla Nublar on a helicopter. While the Costa Rican Army is blowing up parts of the island to destroy the park's dinosaurs, Grant spots a helicopter of armed InGen field agents arriving on the island. Fearing that the agents have plans to collect any remaining dinosaur eggs and DNA samples for a new dinosaur park, Grant attempts to contact the Costa Rican Army. Grant's helicopter crashes on the island after the pilot attempts to stop him. Grant survives the crash and must find a way to stop InGen.

Gameplay

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor Rage.png

Raptor Rage

Like its predecessor, Rampage Edition is an action platforming game that allows the player to choose between Dr. Grant or a Velociraptor. The game features a faster pace, larger levels, more enemies, and more weapons for Grant to use. Both characters move with Left and Right. They duck with Down and move while ducked with Down-left and Down-right. They jump with C and jump off of some platforms with Down+C.

Dr. Grant travels through the island while fighting InGen agents and dinosaurs until he can escape by boat. Grant starts out with a dart gun with effectively unlimited ammunition. A wide selection of weapons is available to obtain throughout the game, including an assault rifle, shotgun, flamethrower, grenades, rocket launcher, and shock rifle. Grant cycles between weapons (for which he has ammunition) with A and uses the selected weapon with B. Fired weapons can be shot at upward angles by holding the D-Pad while shooting. He climbs ladders with Up and Down. He automatically grabs ziplines. He cannot use weapons while on ladders or lines.

The Raptor tries to escape the island on a departing cargo boat to find a safe place to nest its eggs. The Raptor fights with physical attacks such as biting and whipping opponents with its tail. The Raptor runs with Up-left and Up-right. It bites with A and kicks with B. It whips its tail by holding the D-Pad in the opposite direction that it is facing with B. It jumps higher with Up+C and spin jumps by pressing C again in midair. It can jump kick with B in midair. It pounces with Down+C. Collecting Lysine crates with Down+A increases a meter; when the meter is full, the Raptor enters a "Raptor Rage" mode where the screen turns red and it becomes invincible and can kill enemies by touching them for a limited amount of time.

As either character, the player starts the game with four lives. When the health bar is emptied (or the character falls down a bottomless pit), the player restarts at the beginning of the level or the last checkpoint. Fall damage has been removed. Grant retains his weapons and ammunition after losing a life. The game ends if the player runs out of lives.

The game has three selectable difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard), which affects how much damage is taken from enemies.

Weapons

Weapons are only used by Dr. Grant. He starts with a Tranquilizer Dart Gun and acquires additional weapons along the way. Weapons have limited ammunition, and the ammunition quantities are retained between levels.

Levels

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition MD, Stage Select.png

Stage select

Grant

The player can choose between the Aviary, Cargo Ship, and Savanna levels at the beginning of the game. After completing these, Grant plays the Hidden Ruins, River Run, and Burning River levels.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Grant, Stage 1.png

Aviary
This level is an adaptation of the Aviary that housed the flying reptiles known as Pterosaurs in the Jurassic Park novel. Grant starts the level being carried to the top of the level by a Pteranodon for dinner in the nest. He must make his way down to the bottom of the level to complete it and must avoid getting picked up by Pteranodons that swoop down to grab him and take him all the way back up to the nest.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Grant, Stage 2.png

Cargo Ship
The first part of the stage takes place on a boat in a thunder storm. The second part of the stage is indoors and has different music. The inside of the ship is partially flooded. Grant kicks open doors with B.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Grant, Stage 3.png

Savanna
This is the longest level in the game. Grant can choose to jump on the back of the Gallimimus at the start of the level. The player can also attempt to complete the level on foot, but it is difficult because of the slow walking speed and the infinite amounts of Raptors that appear and attack from behind.

Attack choppers that frequently appear through set parts of the level and fire missiles and drop napalm. The napalm bombs not only severely damage Grant but also kill any dinosaurs or people in the radius. Shooting the chopper destroys it.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Grant, Stage 4.png

Hidden Ruins
This level becomes available after completing the initial three levels. The level has a host of alternate paths. Some of these alternate paths have bottomless pits that mean instant death for Grant if he misses the narrow ledges that surround these pits. Grant rides a Triceratops out of the level at the end.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Grant, Stage 5.png

River Run
Grant rides a boat down a bunch of rapids while taking on guards riding boats as well as sitting on the pipes that surround the water and dinosaurs. The color palette changes from day to night to sunrise as Grant goes down further to the bottom of the stage.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Grant, Stage 6.png

Burning River
This is Grant's final level. The Tyrannosaurus rex is invincible, but Grant can use his ammunition to repel the Rex while trying to reach the other end of the river. If the Rex catches the player, it is instant death.

Raptor

The player can choose between the Aviary, Hidden Ruins, and Savanna levels at the beginning of the game. After completing these, the Raptor plays the River Run and Cargo Ship levels.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor, Stage 1.png

Aviary
The Raptor starts at the bottom of the level and must make its way to the Pteranodon nest and grab the egg in the nest. After doing this, the Raptor must make its way back down to the bottom of the level.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor, Stage 2.png

Hidden Ruins
This level is mostly identical to Grant's version, except it has different enemy and object placements and triggers.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor, Stage 3.png

Savanna
The Raptor blazes through the level in the same fashion as Grant would on the Gallimimus, though there are no Raptors that chase after the player.

As with Grant's version of the level, attack choppers appear throughout to fire missiles and drop napalm. The Raptor and jump at the chopper to destroy it.

Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor, Stage 4.png

River Run
The Raptor uses the pipes as platforms to travel through the level rather than riding the rapids as Grant does. Triceratops are found swimming in the rapids and can pose problems if not taken care of properly or avoided. The color palette changes from day to night to sunrise as the Raptor goes down further to the bottom of the stage.

  • Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor, Stage 5.png

  • Jurassic Park Rampage Edition, Raptor, Stage 5 Boss.png

Cargo Ship
This is the Raptor's final level. The first part of the stage takes place on a boat in a thunder storm. The second part of the stage is indoors and quite different from Grant's version. Some of the rooms have ice in them. The Raptor kicks open doors with B.

The Raptor must fight another Raptor to beat the level and complete the game.

History

Improvements and differences from Jurassic Park

Unlike the first game, which used stop-motion prerendered sprites and actors in costumes, Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition uses what appears to be a cross between cartoonish and pre-rendered sprites. The sprites look sort of pre-rendered but are very cartoonish as well. Animation frames move faster and smoother. The odd slowdowns that occurred in the original game are nonexistent (not frame rate drops but some other kind of slow down) and cheap deaths are not as frequent, dinosaurs actually die, and the game is more fast paced. The stiffness of the controls that plagued the original game is no longer apparent.

Due to similarities between game engines, it is very possible that parts if not all of the source code from Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition were used for Vectorman as BlueSky Software was responsible for both games. Many mechanics for the platforming elements of Vectorman are similar.

Prototypes

drx's February 23, 2008 release yielded 11 prototypes, some of which had many differences from the final. Unfortunately, for some reason only 9 of the said prototypes will run on Kega Fusion. The two oldest, the 0620 and 0622 betas, will not run on any emulator. When loaded on an emulator, the player is greeted with a black screen that lasts forever. Oddly enough, the ROM header information says "JAPAN GAME NAME" rather than "JURASSIC PARK: RAMPAGE EDITION". The 0630 prototype, which is the third oldest beta released, has this header as well but runs properly.

Release

While the original Jurassic Park game for the Mega Drive was released shortly after the theatrical release of the film in the summer of 1993, the release of Rampage Edition was timed to coincide with the release of the movie on VHS cassette in October 1994.[4]
