There was a time when Game Crazy was actually pretty damn good. Game Crazy was a hub attached to Hollywood Video back when these relics existed.

Afterward it was 11:30 and I decided to drive to a nearby Game Crazy to see what SNES goodies they might have that day. After class that day I had a couple girl friends go buy some books with me at the local campus store. That semester Wednesday was the best day of the week because I only had one class on Wednesdays (9-10:15 AM). It was a Wednesday I can still vividly recall. It’s a fond memory for me as it fell on the first day of my final undergrad semester at my old college. When I got back into the Super Nintendo nearly 12 years ago (Januto be precise), Jurassic Park 2 was one of the earliest games I picked up. I never played Jurassic Park 2 back in the day but I fondly recall the crazy 6-page EGM preview in their December 1994 issue. That Barbasol can is in honor of one, Dennis Nedry Rest In Power, Dennis Nedry Jurassic Park 2 comes off a bit like a mix between Alien³ and Contra III, proving that going back to the basics can be what’s best for business. But this time, rather than an overhead action game with first person shooter sections, Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues was a more basic and traditional side-scrolling shoot ‘em up. Exactly one year later, they were at it again with a sequel.

Later that November, Ocean released a video game adaptation of Jurassic Park to mostly rave reviews. After the smashing blockbuster hit, dinosaurs were back and bigger than ever. Jurassic Park fever swept the world back in the summer of 1993. Pub & Dev: Ocean | November 1994 | 16 MEGS
