Dinosaur for the Game Boy Color, released in 2000, is a puzzle-platformer that adapts the animated film into an adventure of teamwork and survival. Players take control of a herd of dinosaurs, switching between Aladar the Iguanodon, Zini the lemur, Flia the Pteranodon, and Suri to navigate prehistoric environments.
How to play
The core gameplay requires swapping between the characters to utilize their unique abilitiesโAladar can crush rocks, Zini can fit into small spaces, and Flia can fly over gapsโto solve environmental puzzles and guide the herd to safety. The Game Boy Color controls use the D-pad to move, A to jump or interact, B to use a character’s special ability, and Select to switch between the active characters. In your browser, use the arrow keys to move, Z for A, X for B, and Shift for Select.
Tips
- When exploring, always use Flia first to scout ahead and plan a safe route over hazards.
- Since you must get all characters to the exit to complete a level, be careful not to trap the larger Aladar or leave a smaller character behind where enemies can reach them.
