a confession.

[Ibrahim]

I have a confession to make, a bit of a weird one:

I have a personal vendetta, but not the kind you'd expect: its not a guy or lady whose the object of it (Adam savage aside, but I'll get to that). its not over money, women, a slight against me by another person.

instead, its over a video game, which also happens to be the object of my vendetta: its called return to Jurassic, which was made in 1995 by Ednovation, for the PC. a puzzle game. I have a vendetta against a video game-why? well, I was at the second section of the game, and I was about to put the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle in, and the game just froze momentarily, and then its CD exploded, sending debris 40 ft or so away from the hard-drive, and till now forever denying me the satisfaction of playing it. its been 6 years since then, and I have been unable to finish the puzzle.

where does Adam Savage fit in? he's the one who called the exploding CD myth "busted". well, busted my aching ***

which brings me to the present: I've been looking for that game, starting with he company that made it (ednovation). unfortunately, the company is defunct-though for some odd reason, the website is still running. I tried to find it everywhere on line, and I found it: its in Australia, and I can't email them, because my Google AND my Hotmail servers do not recognize the format. on finding that out, I had a nervous breakdown, which has taken a while to recover from. as you might expect, I never found a second copy, and don't think there is any more out there. and yet, like a final fantasy addict who has to keep buying FF games no matter how bad they are, I am still looking. this obsession has my mom worried a bit-and my dad.

so I ask two questions:

1-am I crazy?
2-if so, do I need help?

I ask because my mom is somewhat worried about my obsession with that game.

that, and I figured this was the best place to unload about my darkest secret. (video game wise)

Is this an English language game? Because I can't find it anywhere on Mobygames. Google's only reference is ironically this thread that it's already cached.

its not an honor issue-I just want to see what's at the end of that game; it has denied me that opportunity, so I've been on a quest to hun it down, and play it until I win

ok-the until we win part was a bit too much

it is..I think. I know my version was totally in english. its about this guy named Harold Peabody (I know, go with it), who is tasked with finding a missing time traveler who has this pot of a helmet that she uses to travel back in time. along the way, he has to take publicity pics, to save the area she was last seen in form being developed by this nasty contractor (the area being, apparently, Dinosaur provincial park, or at least the retarded inaccurate version of that place.). I got to the point where I'm in a cave on a cliff face in the park, and there is this puzzle (the one I mentioned), that I have to solve to get the codes for the helmet+the helmet itself (turns out the time traveler is dead-I think).

LOLwut?

Have you tried writing a letter to Ednovation? That's what I'd do.

Mobygames lists it under the Ednovation entry, but doesn't provide a link or further info on it.

Google and Amazon both draw blanks on searches for this game. I think this one might be simply too obscure to find again.
