Video summary

The video documents a full playthrough of the 2001 arcade game *Jurassic Park 3*, which the narrator had never experienced despite its release during his childhood. He explains that he missed out on playing it at arcades because he was around ten years old and no longer visited bowling alleys, only rediscovering the game recently when it became available for home consoles. The gameplay involves controlling a character who must search for accident victims while fending off various dinosaurs, including Dilophosaurus, raptors, and massive bosses like the Spinosaurus and T-Rex. The narrator notes that the graphics are surprisingly good for an arcade title from that era, though he finds the experience somewhat short, lasting only about half an hour before reaching the end credits. A significant portion of the commentary focuses on the game's mechanics, particularly the unique evasion system that was common in physical arcade cabinets but feels different on a home setup. The player must physically dodge attacks by pressing escape buttons or moving within the controller's range, a feature that adds a layer of chaos to the gameplay. However, the narrator frequently criticizes the lack of variety compared to *Jurassic Park: The Lost World* arcade game, pointing out that players are forced to shoot the same types of dinosaurs repeatedly without much environmental interaction like trees or rocks for cover. He also laments the absence of bonus items such as grenades or snack bars, which were present in other versions and would have helped extend the playtime and difficulty curve. Despite the repetitive nature of the enemies and the occasional frustration with aiming issues where shots seem to drift left, the narrator manages to complete the game with a final accuracy rate of roughly 50% after firing over a thousand shots. He humorously reflects on the absurdity of the situation, noting that he effectively "mass murdered" dinosaurs in an empty cage area and survived multiple bites from apex predators. Upon finishing, he receives a simple congratulations screen rather than a traditional game over, marking the completion of his journey through all three *Jurassic Park* arcade titles. He concludes by ranking this installment as his least favorite of the series, placing it just above the original 1993 game, while still expressing nostalgia for the days when he and his friends would visit arcades and play these games together.

What's this? What's this? A game from 2001. There's a Jurassic Park 3 game that I haven't played before. That's right. It's Jurassic Park 3. The arcade game. I literally never played this game. By the time it was in arcades, I I didn't care about it anymore. I didn't I didn't go to arcades. I have friends. I don't know. I was What How old was I when this came out? I was I was 10. I was 10 when this came out. And apparently we didn't go to bowling alleys anymore when you're 10 years old. So this has just recently became available to the main frame. Basically I I'm playing this because I've got sticks and stones holding this whole thing together. We're going to put all of our work the blind play through. Here we go. I'm super excited. I think it's about half an hour experience. This is going to be brilliant, guys. This is going to be brilliant. There he is. There's Paul Kirby. Oh, there's me. I mean, one of them is me, I think. Oh, >> this is Grant. Can you hear me? You're at sight B. >> Oh, it's Grant. >> Your task is to search for accident victim. >> Not the copies. Is that Grant? Shoot him. Here we go. That's right. Run. So, we're not Grand, but we're we're we're Okay. Also, the the way I've got this set up is that um it everything's slightly off to the right. So, I I I don't know how to calibrate things. You got to shoot him in its head. But that by that factor, I mean shoot it a little bit to the left. So, I got to be like, yes, killing all the guppies. >> Go for the head. >> Oh, lined herself up there. Oh god, it's a female raptor. No. Oh my Oh my god. We've already taken hit. We've We've already lost some life. This is terrible. There we go. Head shot. Oh, that was close. Not going to give me that one. Oh, there we go. Wait, is that the plane? Damn, that rotted quick. Another dilophosaurus killing. Yes. More dilopas. [screaming] Oh, he's dying. Oh, he's he's exposing his putty. He's ready for the cup. No, don't take him. Take me instead. Oh, he's he's okay. He's alive. He's running away. He's running to us. Oh. Oh, it's the It's a dinosaur cuz look at this beautiful graphics. Oh, the JP3 graphics. I got a life bonus, which is going to send me into a seizure. rescue. >> What? WHAT WAS THAT? SORRY, I DIDN'T HEAR IT OVER THE SPINOSAURUS. PLAY THE PHONE ring tone. Okay, there's an evade button in this one. You've got like this isn't just a Don't just sit down when this arcade was around. No, no, no. You had to evade stuff. You actually had to body dodge. I think the uh the actual arcade cabinet would uh pick out your movements. So yeah, pretty cool. Pretty cool stuff. >> Reload. >> Although I don't know whether I saw I saw that version of the uh of the game. I mean, there's no there's no freaking grenades in this one. So it's it's definitely inferior to the Lost World. >> Oh god, did did I dodge? I I saw it come up for a split second. You got to shoot the female. She's the one in charge. Yes. Oh, there it is again. Slowly trundling towards us. >> Oh, I clicked it. Just say it to his screen for a second. Four-wheel drive in the open space where you've landed. >> Okay. Oh, burning makes me makes me build up gas. Are these levels we're going through? This feels very quick. Surely that got me level two done. We didn't even finish the health bar of the Spinosaurus. Oh, hell yeah. Weak spot in its jugular. Also, its eyes. Press escape button. You can get away when the dinosaur reaches you by pressing escape buttons in certain stages. Well, escape. Oh, look. I moved. I'm moving. I'm escaping. >> AVOID THAT. [groaning and screaming] >> OH, IT'S THE CLASSIC SOUND EFFECT. >> There we go. There we go. Escaped again. Oh, I'm so good at this game. [screaming] >> YES. FREAKING DODGED IT. >> YEAH. >> Apparently that was from another game. 911 or something it was called. I'm not exactly sure. >> That's definitely not working. >> What are you talking about? HE'S GOT NO HEALTH. He's dead. [laughter] That's definitely not working. Spinosaurus dies. You've done it. >> Oh, wait. Hold on. What's that? >> That was the T-Rex. >> Oh, here he comes. [screaming] Oh, get him. No, he got the neck. Is it going to rerun or rewrite the ROM of just three? Ah, who cares? Anyway, here we go. More score. These are so short. Oh, look. We got a Spinosaurus medallion area two. JP3. Who knew we'd be on JP7 at this point? Good god. >> It seems the accident victims are in the hatching facility. >> Of course. >> Whoa. Avoid that. >> Oh, yes. AVOID THE FATTY. AH, YOU IDIOT. [laughter] There was ONE THING IN THE WAY AND YOU WENT STRAIGHT INTO [screaming] IT. YOU ROYALLY PISSED IT OFF NOW. WELL, shooting a die. All right. Well, here we go. Look at this innocent creature. Oh, evaded. >> Whoa. Avoid that. >> WHAT? YEAH. WELL, WHAT? >> OH, OOPS. I FORGOT. SORRY. I I I could avoid Oh my god, the glitching. >> Definitely. Reload. >> This guy just doesn't stop talking. So basically all I got to do is just keep on clicking evade when it gets close to me. What? >> Yeah, I think there there's some cabinets that have the directional buttons and other cabinets that were motion sensored. So you literally have to dodge out the way of it. Oh god, we got 60 seconds. Really? It's a timer that's the issue here. >> Reload. >> That's definitely not working. >> Well, maybe we need to reload. Don't die. I've got loads of pennies. >> Well done. >> Oh, there we killed it off screen. Yay. [laughter] >> Hurry up. >> Hurry up. HURRY UP AND DIE ALREADY. >> OH, it's the engine facility. >> Are we going Do you think we're actually going to see >> Amanda >> Amanda Kirby and the rest of them? We're going to see Udeski. Oh, we're going to see Paint Tal Plus in Olive Gardens. Defeat Raptor and run away. >> Well, that's every game. [laughter] THAT'S MY LIFE. NO, HE BIT MY FACE. Stop giving his kisses. Oh my Jesus. Oh, was I supposed to help? I'm Oh god. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. I'm the monster here. Shoot it since I see it. Oh, this a little bit. Oh, hold on. There's one coming late. Apparently, I was supposed to be a little bit slower with that one. Oh. Oh, at least I haven't worked out how to climb ladders. OH, NO. They worked out how to climb ladders. Oh, I'm on death store, guys. It's not looking good. This is like when I tried to shoot in real life and I had to like close the eye a bit weirder. Everything was a little bit to the left. [laughter] I had to adjust my sight. Hello. [screaming] You could see it, right? You could. It's not just me. I'm not making excuses. Oh. Oh, I see. There we go. I've adjusted now. [laughter] I'm making myself deliberately shoot bad and it's working. We got 16 crit shots. Oh. Oh. Oh. Could have had that one. NO. [screaming] I GUESS WE GIVE UP. It It just doesn't have the same feel as the Lost World one. I don't know why. There's loads of them down there. Oh no. IS THAT CRAMPED? RELOAD. >> NO. SO OH MY GOD. HE'S GOT legs for days. Look at him go. He's calling for help. >> Sorry, I'm out of bullets. >> Oh no, there's another one there. I didn't see that one. I like if they they get a a bite off of me, then uh they get away with it. Like that's it. They don't reset position, try to bite me again. Like bye-bye. Yeah, there's no grenades. There's no extra little things to shoot out for bonus points of life. No little snack bars. No Hershey's kisses. This is really missing a trick here. The dodge mechanic's interesting, but you know, I can only use it for the bosses. Oh no, that one did reset. My bad. Sorry. Oh, HEAD SHOT MIDAIR. A GOT me again. Oh, what can I say? I'm just so tasty. Come on. Open the other door. Hi. Oh no. Why are you kidding me? I love that little jump. >> Oh, there it is. What a what a sassy walk towards me. Did we do it? Oh, look at them go. >> Where have they gone? The accident victims seem to have gone. [laughter] >> They don't even get names. They're just the accident victim. So, hold on. Do we destroy the Spinosaur right away? Oh, Acuras. Oh, there he is. parking lot. Is that Grant? Grant, stop waving your arms. You attract Ah, you attracted the T-Rex. Weak point. It's eyes and it's gobb again. Would you believe this church has seen better days? Well, I know. I know. WAIT, WHAT? THERE'S FOUR EXPLORERS HERE. They're worth a fortune. [laughter] We could sell them on eBay for millions. >> Reload. Oh my god. >> Oh, that was good. That was good. I don't get extra weapons. >> Reload. >> Oh, well, at least I know I could I could tank like a T-Rex bite to the face and survive. >> Definitely not working. >> Can I shoot the cars? Can the cars blow up? Nope. Although something did. You see that? It was like an explosion over there. No, you don't. >> Oh, wait. Hold on. Is it the T-Rex? I think the T-Rex IS THE DOOR. HIT HIM OFF SCREEN. >> I did do it. >> Some of my colleagues are still in the big cage. Okay, I got it. >> The big cage. They're still over there somewhere. I [laughter] love how they just couldn't be specific. I wonder why they couldn't be specific. Life bonus. [laughter] Area three. Is this the final area? >> That's the big cage. Oh, the bird cage. Did you mean bird cage? Oh, look at us. We got a This is comedy gold. I love this. >> Uh-oh. We're saved. Thank you. >> Sounds like Beetle. >> Thank you. >> Oh, they make the sound effect that the toys make. The react attacks. Okay. Don't know if I could shoot that one. Can't tell if I'm a terrible shot or if I actually couldn't shoot it. Oh, what? How was I supposed to know that one was there? Okay. Oh, my eyes. WHO WENT FOR ME EYES? [laughter] OH, come [screaming and groaning] on. Well, that one didn't get me. I mean, I I I don't know what to say. I'm I'm trying my best here, guys. The best just isn't working for us. There we go. It's hard work mass murdering all of these dinosaurs. The problem is there's nothing like there's no there's no anything. There's no trees. There's no other rocks. This is just a an empty cage with apparently a million pteranodons. >> Go for the head. I >> mean, I'll try. Go for the head. Ready? Ready. Oh, never mind. [laughter] We just walked past that one. I shot him once in the hip and he went, "Ah, I'm out of here." No, be dodgy hip. Look at us go. Oh. Oh. Well, line up and take a chop, would you? Yes. Get the guy. Go through. HE'S GOT A DODGY EYE. [laughter] He can't shoot properly. They know my weakness. This must have This must be what happens after all of the eggs hatch that we saw in Park 3. Another million raptor eggs. How do I get him in the back? Got to go for the female. Female's the ring leader. Oh. Oh, was I supposed to shoot that one? I love the dramatic. You know, if you don't shoot them the head, they don't do a back flip. They do a dramat dramatic fall on the belly. No. How was I supposed to know which way he was going to come up from? Disposal port of Terasaur. >> It's me. >> It's the alpha. The one that was cut from the film. But then, you know, had toys and everything. >> Well done. >> Oh, thank you. Thank you. >> Oh, did I Oh, did I mean to I don't know if I meant the dog. Oh, he's got cronies. >> Am I supposed to kill his cronies? >> Hey, reload. >> Thanks for telling me, mate. >> Hey, reload. >> Get that boat started. >> Hey, reload. Whoa. Avoid that. Well, I'm trying, dude. It's not up to me, though. >> Hey, reload. >> Oh, no. No. It's coming right for us. I mean, I you you I mean, there there really is no excuse at this point, guys. [laughter] >> I could say that I'm I'm I'm doing a mix of actually aiming and then forgetting and then aiming for the left and then it working. >> I mean, do I Does it really matter what I go for here? What I get? Reload. >> Well done. >> Oh yeah. Didn't even need a dodge there. Got him on the ropes. >> Reload. Yes, you've done it. [laughter] >> Yeah. Another endangered species murdered. Got to love these games, man. They're short. They're beautiful. Oh, and this Hey, if this is what it was like in the actual arcade, dude, you you you save so many pennies by just dodging all the time. Heading towards the marina, but be careful. >> Marina. No, we're not going to see a mossaur, are we? Or a dinosaugus. Oh no, more flying dinosaurs. What does Oh my god. Mega jumping copies. They just freaking jump. Look at them all standing. Look at all those chickens. Oh, see you later. They don't even want to attack me. They just want to say hello. Except for these guys. These want to attack me. Uhoh. He nibbled my giblets. Oh, here we go. Ready. And [laughter] got to wait for line him up. [screaming] Oh yeah. Ah, [laughter] great one, D. You wait for the right moment and then you uh you have no bullets left. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. Now we're doing it. Maybe this is what I should have done the whole time. Oh, maybe not. What the heck? Never mind. I thought I was shooting them. I'm just glad those didn't hit at all. Oh, if they're really close to me, the the reticle seems to work. Uhoh. Oh, that's not good. Oh, why do they ALL WANT ME DEAD? WHAT DID I DO? OH, THOSE DIALOG. OH, [screaming] [ __ ] OH, GOD. YOU OKAY? >> AH, you're okay. Wipe it off, mate. Thank you. Just cost me another few pennies. Oh, what the hell was that guy doing? I think he tried to land on the boat. Yep. There we go. Oh, there we go. Just got to wait. Just got to wait. Oh, missed that guy. Are we going to see the spinosaur again? >> OH, SPEAK of the devil. [laughter] So, what if you could see the dark side of me? Oh, there he is. Right. Where are you? Whoa. >> Oh, so I just need to shoot the weak spot and then I don't need to evade. Gotcha. Look at it go. Okay, wait for the weak spot. Yeah, [screaming] there it is. I'm not a coward. I'm not evading you. You click the escape button. Not me. Okay, take it back. I didn't realize you had claws. My guy's very confused. It's not actually doing anything when I do that. >> Hey, reload. >> Yes, that's right. Look at the boat. Don't go for the clone. NO, THE CLAW AGAIN. OH, I actually stopped him. >> Not working. >> My teammate doesn't have any uh what do you call it? Any faith in me. It's like it is not working. Yeah, I know. Yes. Yes, you've done it. >> I've done what? That's the second time I've killed him. I don't know if we've killed him this time. >> Stay on course. >> Wait, what happened to the other guy? The one wearing the hat. Did we lose him? Ah, casualties of wall. I was way more accurate that time. Fair enough. Fair enough. I I I I don't know what's good, what's bad, really. Area three. It's night time with the raptors. juicy. Not so juicy. Terrible. In fact, ran out of bullets. [laughter] Oh, here we go. Hat trtick. Oh, look at him. He's using the TREES AS COVER. OH, THAT'S not fair. You can't just be like surprise. That That guy D took effort like Yeah. There we go. Work for it. Oh, there. You earned it. You earned it. If you're just going to jump from the side, that's that's so cheap. You got to run up run at me. And if I still miss it, you you've earned it. Look at that guy. See, he earned that one. >> Hey, are you okay? >> No, I'm fine. This is going to take a million mummy kisses to fix it. Oh, so we got two Spinosaur things. Oh, wrong. That was a terrible time to reload. Maybe I shouldn't spray and prey. [laughter] Now that's a sitting position. We can just leave these guys. THEY'RE OH GOD, NO. They be They've become hostile. I thought if I just let them prance around in the woods, they'd be all right. Why do you sound like a comp? God, it hurts taking loads of bites on the face. Hey, look, it's end of Oak Street. >> It's a spino. Is it still alive? I think so. He's like, I wish I wasn't. [laughter] I wish they'd put more different enemies in the game instead of punishing me over and over. They could at least change its design, you know? So they it Oh, okay. That was fast. Are we just doing like a Oh, we Yeah, we really are. This is the one where you know this is the the quarter sucker. This one. You made it this far. You're going to get to the end, right? Oh my god. Stop it. That's definitely not working. >> I can't even evade anymore. Oh, I can. Oh, I can't evade. Right. So, this time I definitely need to evade. [screaming] [groaning] >> Reload. >> It's all right. It's all right. Look, I've got plenty of pennies. >> Or do I? >> Now I do. I actually ran out of me pennies. No. How am I going to afford lunch? Yes, it's dead. I think maybe was one of those Grant. I don't know. I'm going to assume one of them is Grant and it's a job well done. 55% accuracy. Three spinos. Wait, that's it? Oh my god. Wow. Look at all these Japanese people. Wataru furu they did brilliantly Yoshi knowi brilliant D crisis 2 hear this sort of thing didn't they well you know what I the the first arcade game Jurassic Park we played them all on the channel that's it Jurassic Park the arcade Lost World Arcade Jurassic Park 3 Arcade and this this was the last one cuz we'd already played Jurassic Park the arcade or whatever. ever. It was called the one where we had to catch a T-Rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaur. And this 16 years later or 15 years later, is it? It came out in 2001. So, it's actually 25 [laughter] years later. 25 years in the making. Was this this uh this playth through? Wow. 1,118 shots, 50% accuracy. Well, you know, it's not so bad, is it? I suppose. Game over. You lose. Oh, well, usually get a game over screen if if you know you've lost. Not if you've won. No, you get a congratulations. That was sort of like there. Off you go. Smack on the ass. Onto the next [laughter] one. Slap in the face. Well done. You've played the game. Now off. Off you go. Oh my goodness. Oh, where can I I don't know. I I feel like the Lost World was nicer because you had way more varieties of dinosaur here. You had compies, raptors, spino, T-Rex, and Dilophosaurus. You had five enemies. Oh, and Kylo, six enemies, and four of them were bosses basically. There was only compies, do small pteranodons, and raptors, I suppose, that weren't bosses. Yeah, not the best. I I think I think that's probably the second I'd rank that second lowest, actually. Just above the original Jurassic Park Arcade. And technically, you could even see those are the original buttons where you could run left and run right that you could tap. And even the original AR Jurassic Park Arcade, I think that one just had more >> crazy stuff going on. You were you were charged by what was it? 50,000 Triceratops at one point. >> [laughter] >> It was just madness. Balls to the wall. I kind of liked it. Whereas this one was a Oh, here's the locations. Shoot the same dinosaur 50 times. Oh, okay. On to the boss version of it. Um, SO YEAH. WELL, ANYWAY, GUYS, there there it is. 25 years in the making, and we finally played Jurassic Park 3, the arcade, and that's it. We played every Jurassic Park arcade game that's ever existed, I think. So, if you've enjoyed this video, leave a like. Let me know in the comments which is your favorite of the arcades to play. I know I I still think the Lost World arcade. It's just it it holds a special place for me. When I was, you know, I'd go with friends birthday parties. We go to bowling alleys and it would be there all the time. I'm sure this was I I feel like I saw this one in person occasionally, but I never played it. Um I was obviously too cool at that point. Dinosaurs weren't cool anymore. I was in high school and I I had to be I had to pretend to be grown-up and like adult things like football. [laughter] No, I can't even lie. I never even pretended like that. Anyway, guys, if you enjoyed this video, leave a like. Until next time, I'll see you guys later. Oh, bye-bye.
