Games: Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

posted by on March 20 at 11:46 AM

Sorry to sully the streak of books- and essay-related posts today, but geez, this cracks me up. Hat tip to Games for Windows Magazine, who highlighted this free 3D web game in its April issue’s “Free Play” section (and already made the prerequisite “Snakes on a Plane” joke). I’m proud to encourage the Slog nation to get fired from work for driving a jeep through mountains and crashing into velociraptors on your web browser. Give it a whirl; the game requires a quick install of a little free program that (from my research) doesn’t do anything fishy, though if you’re at work, that could be a funny permissions request to the IT department. (“You say you need to run this .exe to enable… ‘spreadsheet backwards compatibility,’ huh?”)

Suggestion for a sequel: Sewer Tunnel Hovercraft Chimp Jamboree. Get on it, Flashbang Studios.

First it was my Blackberry. Then it was Gmail chat. Now this. There is no way of avoiding it, I will be applying for unemployment by next week. Tops. I'm sure of it.

Thank you Slog.

Neat! I wondered if I'd see a game written using Unity's weblauncher . . .

They are working on a sequel already. It's called Jetpack Brontosaurus.

@3: Awesome, thanks for the tip. My idea's better, though.

sam, you really need to make it more clear to the people that the driver of the jeep IS A VELOCIRAPTOR and that you are running down the other velociraptors to send them into the future.
