Dinosaurus is a platformer released for the Game Boy Color in 1988. The main objective of the game is to navigate through prehistoric-themed levels, overcoming obstacles and enemies while collecting items to progress. Players control a dinosaur character tasked with reaching the end of each stage safely.
The pace of Dinosaurus is steady, encouraging careful timing and strategic movement rather than fast reflexes. Its unique mechanic involves using different dinosaur abilities to tackle environmental challenges, which adds a layer of strategy to the traditional platforming gameplay. This mechanic emphasizes the distinct traits of various dinosaur species featured in the game.
A distinctive element of Dinosaurus is its prehistoric setting combined with pixel art graphics tailored to the Game Boy Color’s limitations, creating an immersive atmosphere. The unusual idea of controlling a dinosaur as the protagonist sets it apart from typical human or robot characters common in platformers of that era.
