      PAC-MAN 256

      23 hours playtime

      10 of 10 achievements

    • Jurassic Park: The Game
      Jurassic Park: The Game

      6 hours playtime

      30 of 51 achievements

    PAC-MAN 256 - Not much to say here - it is infinite Pacman with some different power ups. Fun for a couple of hours but if you go for a 100% you are in for many many hours of it. The only reason why I even bothered doing it is because I was watching a series on my other monitor anyways.
    Jurassic Park: The Game - Really buggy - the sound gets screwed up every once in a while, mouse cursor disappears and some people are even unable to play episode 2 due to crashes (worked fine for me). Also there are way too many pointless QTEs where most of the time if you fail one you will end up dying and having to restart from checkpoint. Other than that the characters were generally very unlikable to me SPOILERS: The only one I liked died in episode 3 and by the end of it I was hoping they are all going to die - all but 2 did.

    Yeah.. getting 100% on pacman is quit time consuming.. I still have to get “every power up unlocked” and “every PU upgraded”.. Altough its pointless I would still like to get the last two achievements too. So thanks for idea. Will open it and play around when watching something..

    Oh and agree about Jurassic.. Annoying game. This being one of the older Telltale game Im not really surprised its buggy and uninteresting mostly, but still, expected something more from this. (altough havent really finished it yet - I get bored after half an episode)

    Good luck on getting it! It should take around ~18 hours of playtime in total (mine is higher because of idling).

    I was expecting more too. I actually did not mind it for the first episode and half, but after that it just went quickly downhill.

    That’s a real shame about Jurassic Park. I’ve seen a bunch of mixed/negative reviews but I’d still look at it like “it looks like so much fun though….dinosaurs!” Can see why that’d be frustrating. :/

    Yea, I really wanted to like it and at the beginning it wasn’t all that bad, but after a while it became awful. I still got a bunch of other Telltale games on my to play list, hopefully those are going to be better :)

    I hope you enjoy them! The Walking Dead alone is a classic, can’t really go wrong there. :)

    MouseWithBeer

    I got that one but I know nothing about The Walking Dead at all. Is any preexisting knowledge necessary or can you enjoy the game anyways?

    JaffaCaffa

    Not at all! It’s completely separate to the comics/show.

    MouseWithBeer

    Great! Thank you for the info :)

    Supposedly there are some cameos from the comics/show, but I’ve not watched the show/read the comics, and loved the TWD games.

    Oh yes, Jurassic park :( I’ve given it 3 attempts now, and I can’t get past chapter 2, because all the bugs, poorly made QTEs and sound issues keep annoying me. I love most of what Telltale has made, but Jurassic Park… nope, can’t play it.
