Thrasher: Skate & Destroy.
I thought I was the only person who actually enjoyed it.

Played it a load when I used to work in an indie store back in the day. It's like a more sensible, considered approach to a skateboarding game. Definitely not as polished as the THPS games but I always liked giving it a spin.

Battle Beast for Windows 95. Amazing SVGA cartoon graphics for the time but shallow gameplay.

That's Battle Bugs, from the goode olde days of DOS

I fancy a nice hot cup of tea. Splash of milk. No sugar.

^Correct, it was a off-beat real time strategy game with insects.
Carry on.

It is a Gameboy game, but not a Turok game.
It was made quite late in the Gameboy's life and is quite hard to get hold of these days... but still quite a well known title.

OK... clue time.
So we've established that it's a Gameboy game released mid to late 1990s - it's also a film licence and this particular version is unique to the system...

I'm having to cheat slightly and look at some of the bigger mid-late 90's films on google
Through process of elimination (as many titles don't fit the image type,
although you could argue that Titanic would) is it Jurassic Park?

Close enough... it was
The Lost World: Jurassic Park released in December 1997!
Not to be confused with Jurassic Park (1993) or Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues (1994)
