Dinobasher Starring Bignose the Caveman is a prehistoric action platformer developed by Codemasters for the Sega Master System. Players guide the club-wielding Bignose across hazardous islands filled with aggressive dinosaurs and environmental traps in his quest to catch a pterodactyl for dinner. Known for its bouncy physics and fast-paced platforming, the game challenges you to collect bones, find weapon upgrades like throwable stones, and survive long stretches of tricky terrain.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate Bignose through each level, defeating prehistoric enemies and collecting bones while avoiding pitfalls. Use the standard browser mapping for Sega Master System controls:
- Arrow Keys: Move Bignose
- Z: Jump (Button 1)
- X: Attack with club or projectiles (Button 2)
- Enter: Start/Pause
Tips
- Bones act as currency; collect as many as possible to spend at the shop screens between levels for crucial upgrades or extra lives.
- Bignose has heavy jump momentum and bounces when landing on certain enemies or objects. Master this mid-air trajectory to avoid leaping directly into hazards.
- Keep an eye out for hidden springs and alternative routes that can launch you up to secret areas filled with extra bones and power-ups.
