This was the game that first introduced me to the RTS genre. The voice acting gave this game a quirky light-hearted vibe. Each level had you taking your human characters scavenging supplies and stealing dinosaur eggs that you could hatch into controllable dinosaur units. You can unlock a bonus level where you control one T-Rex and do as much devastation to San Diago as possible. With each difficulty-setting you have extra levels to try out at the end of the game's campaign. This game was way more fun than any movie tie-in game should be.
This game came from a time where licensed games had a higher than average chance of being good. It was also from a time when the RTS genre had more variety. Sure, you're still doing base building and gathering supplies, but that's not the focus of the game.
You also didn't often have games that would pay for the entire movie cast to voice their characters. Maybe things were different in the 90s and it didn't take long to record 45 minutes of dialogue. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this was a unique game from a unique period of gaming and it has been abandonware for almost 20 years. Time for it to emerge from the abandonware sites and get some kind of restoration and revitalization,
Amazing game with the real cast providing voice work. A really great RTS that felt really unique given the scenario. I would love to be able to add this one to the collection.
The basics are easy to pick up but the fun of building a velociraptor fleet or rampaging through a city with a T-Rex can't be beat!
Solid number of the original cast lent their voices as well!
THIS GAME! I love this. It's not only a time capsule of the time it came out, but also so enjoyably simple. I would buy this in a heartbeat and keep my eyes watching for the old school games from here on.

About SHOGUN: Total War
Japan, 1542, a country in turmoil. The last shogunate has collapsed, leaving a nation divided into numerous factions, each led by a daimyo, a feudal warlord.
Each daimyo is out to scheme, murder, and wage war to become supreme ruler. The emperor is powerless, a puppet of whichever faction controls Kyoto. Into this melting pot come the first European explorers; bringing guns, religion, and disease.
Out of this chaos will emerge only one daimyo, he who will master all the varied skills that make up the art of war; Politics, economics, subterfuge, strategic warfare, and battlefield tactics.
Only one will become Shogun.
