Jurassic Park is being brought back from the dead again. This time in the form of its original two games, Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues. Limited Run Games has decided to resurrect these two classic games, bringing them to both consoles and PC.
To be clear, these are not full HD updates of the games. They have added a few quality-of-life fixes, such as new-in game maps. Limited Run Games is making a name for itself in the video game world as a type of necromancer, bringing the games back to life so to speak. OK, I’ll stop with the re-animation jokes.

Jurassic Park Classic
I know that I have complained in the past about nostalgia farming, but I am completely on board with this approach. I just hope that one day we get to see a really horrific version of Jurassic Park the way that Michael Crichton (Sphere) intended.
