The graphics in this collection are preserved from the original releases, featuring pixelated, 16-bit visuals that evoke nostalgia, though they may feel dated compared to modern standards. While some players appreciate the atmospheric music and the charm of the classic art style, others find the lack of display options and confusing level designs detract from the experience. Overall, the visuals maintain a retro appeal, but they may not meet the expectations of those accustomed to contemporary graphics.
“While the graphics may seem dated compared to modern games, they maintain a nostalgic charm.”
“The switch’s screen does justice to the classic art style.”
“The visuals have been meticulously polished for modern screens while still retaining that retro, pixelated charm that we grew up loving.”
“The dated graphics resulting in confusing level designs don't help much either.”
“There are no graphic options or any kind of options at all.”
“Aged graphics and mechanics: the visual and gameplay elements may feel outdated compared to modern games.”
Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection review
While the title included might have been good in the 90s, the Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection doesn't quite hold up today. You do get a decent amount of games, some are pretty similar, and other than the SNES version, few are as fun to play as they were back then.

Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is a bare-bones collection featuring the early days of Jurassic Park games. While there are some minimal quality-of-life enhancements added to the overall product, it’s the same we expect from all retro collections these days and does nothing to stand out like other offerings have. Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is good for people who don’t have the time or money to track down the consoles and games themselves and just want to play the games on modern hardware.

Unfortunately, you can only work with what the era of Pogs and Blockbusters gave you and the Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is a collection of titles mostly for novelty and nostalgia value. There is fun to be had if you are the type of person with a hankering for some raptor spankering, but likely, this will leave most newcomers feeling a little lost and underwhelmed by the difficulty and lack of features to make all on offer here more accessible.
