You may be asking yourself, "How different can two 16-bit versions of the same franchise really be?" Answer: very! Unlike Sega, Nintendo opted to turn to third-party developer Ocean to bring the Jurassic Park experience to their SNES platform. In 1993, we received a surprisingly forward-thinking overhead puzzler/ adventure coupled to a Wolfenstein-like first-person shooter.

The downside was that this was one of those fairly large adventure titles of the era that never bothered with things like a password system or battery save so gamers were expected to beat the entire game in a single sitting. You did get to zap roaming raptors with a cattleprod, though.
