Man, this picture brings back many memories. Here's a shot of the actual Hollywood Video from my childhood town. Talk about highway robbery! It was one HELL of a dealįirst day of my last college semester and this? LIFE WAS GOOD I ended up buying Shining Wisdom and Iron Storm for $2.99 each while getting Saturn Bomberman for free. He pulled out this thick black binder, unzipped it and there were a bunch of harder to find Saturn titles. He told me he got in a stash of games recently but that they had not yet display. I don't know why but I asked him, and boy, am I glad I did.
I remember asking the cashier that day too if he had any Saturn games in storage. Talk about kickstarting my final undergrad semester off with a BANG! On this particular afternoon, I found much to my delight The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues and The Lost Vikings, which I got free as part of their buy 2 get 1 free deal back then. They used to carry a solid variety of top-notch SNES games in excellent condition, before things went corrupt and downhill. There was a time when Game Crazy was actually pretty damn good. Game Crazy was a hub attached to Hollywood Video back when these old relics used to exist. 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 concluded that day I had a couple girl friends go buy some books with me at the local campus store. It was Wednesday, the best day of the week as I only had one class: 9-10:15 AM.
It's a fond memory as it fell on the first day of the spring semester of my final undergrad semester at my ol' University. When I got back into the Super Nintendo nearly 10 years ago (on Januto be more precise), JURASSIC PARK 2was one of the earliest games I bought. I never did play Jurassic Park 2 back when but I fondly recall the crazy 6-page preview EGM ran in their December '94 issue. REWINDING THE HANDS OF TIME BACK TO JANUARY 25, 2006 Sometimes, going back to what works is the prudent thing to do But this time, rather than an overhead or first person view, it was a "basic" side-scrolling shoot 'em up, like a mix of Alien³ and Contra, proving that going back to basics can be for the best
A year later they were back at it again with a sequel. Later that October, Ocean released Jurassic Park the video game to rave reviews. After the smashing blockbuster hit, dinosaurs were back and bigger than ever. JURASSIC PARK MANIA swept the universe in the summer of 1993.
