While The Lost World is in no danger of being considered anyone's favorite movie of the franchise, the 32-bit incarnation of the franchise earns our top spot for offering up a surprisingly tricky 2.5D take on the source material that opens with players scampering around as a tiny Compy before allowing them to advance through the evolutionary ranks.

By the time the romp is over, you will have played as everything from a lunge-happy Raptor to a human hunter, human prey to the mighty T-Rex itself.

The game wasn't critically praised upon release and has largely slipped through the cracks in the years since, but playing it now is a reminder of a simpler time in gaming, when platforming, shooting, timing were all it took to handle Isla Sorna like a boss.

Jason Russell has been working in video game journalism since the early 1990s before the internet existed, the term "fanzine" had meaning and sailors still debated as to whether or not the earth was flat. The first time. More recently he has been the guy responsible for the Retrospective column for Old School Gamer Magazine, pens up a Game Skinny column on a plethora of video game topics. He's somehow managed to author nine novels, writes and runs the blog CG Movie Review, is co-founder of the science fiction publishing house Starry Eyed Press, and sometimes, when the planets align and the caffeine has fully left his system, it's rumored he sleeps.
