10 Video Games Based On Movies That Actually Didn't Suck

9. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (Arcade)

Jurassic

The second and last arcade game on the list, The Lost World is an on-rail shooter. In the game, you play as a ranger at Isla Sumar who is part of the clean-up crew. Throughout the game, you must fend your vehicle off from attacking dinosaurs and other threats. Now granted, it's hard to get arcade games wrong; their one job is to entertain, and they do their job well enough most of the time. Here in particular though, the game makes very good use of the license. I remember when I first played this game; it made me jump a few times. It also didn't skimp out on the difficulty; from the very start, you are often outnumbered, as most of your enemies like to hunt in packs. I saw myself pump quarter after quarter into that game just so I could get a little further.

I'm a fan of pop-culture in all mediums: Music, Film, Gaming, Comics, TV, Whatever. I can generally find something enjoyable in even the worst trash. I guess as a B-Horror enthusiast, I kind of have to. Currently I'm an author working on a manuscript for a crime novel, and attending school to be an Environmental Health and Safety Technician. In the past I've made a go at running in an election for MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) for my hometown of Glace Bay. I was 23 at the time, and though I lost (by like a lot), I learned a lot more about politics in a month than I ever learned. Get at me on Twitter @DanWilsonWC
