So I was with my family at this indoor fun center/jungle gym thing when my youngest goes into the Jurassic Park Arcade game. It's one of those big ones with a cover over the top, seats inside, and fake looking guns mounted on the console pointed at the screen.

My youngest is too young to play and too young to notice that he isn't really playing, so he's just smashing buttons and turning guns while the intro plays. About the third time it goes around I notice the text on the screen explain the situation:

Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom SPOILERS AHEAD

"An active volcano had threatened the dinosaurs! Save them before it's too late!"

Which is pretty much the first plot of Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom. They managed to throw on some other stuff because that one thing won't sustain an entire action movie, but still.

So this 15 year old video game is literally the same plot as a major movie, but no one noticed. WTF America?

On a side note, I also discovered that the makes of the game don't know the meaning of the term "non-lethal". I got a lock out of that too.

I'm just glad arcades are still around, and those games that make you hold a tangible fake gun.
