Dinosaur Predators

About this game

Dinosaur Predators is essentially a reskin of Animal Quest, the better-known game in this short-lived series of strategic animal simulations. The object is to move your chosen dinosaur around the grid, eating food and avoiding predators.Dinosaur Predators is a DOS-based action-adventure game that was released in the early 1990s. The game was developed by Dark Ridge Software and was aimed at players who enjoyed fast-paced action, prehistoric settings, and challenging gameplay. Dinosaur Hunting: The core gameplay revolves around hunting dinosaurs or surviving their attacks. Players take on the role of a character who must traverse dangerous terrains, fighting off different species of dinosaurs that pose a threat. The game features a range of dinosaur types, from smaller, quicker predators to massive, terrifying creatures, each with its own attack patterns and behaviors. Action-Packed Combat: Players use various weapons to fend off attacking dinosaurs, ranging from primitive tools to more advanced weaponry. These weapons must be carefully used, as they are limited in ammo or durability. The combat system involves both ranged and melee attacks, allowing players to choose their preferred method of dealing with enemies. Platforming and Exploration: Aside from combat, exploration plays a major role in the game. Players must navigate through different levels, jump over obstacles, and find hidden items that may aid in their survival. Levels are designed with platforming challenges, such as climbing, jumping, and avoiding traps, in addition to battling dinosaurs. Variety of Dinosaurs: The game features a wide array of dinosaur species to encounter. These range from smaller carnivores to large, intimidating predators such as Tyrannosaurus Rex. Each dinosaur type behaves differently, and players must adapt their strategy accordingly. Some dinosaurs are aggressive and actively hunt the player, while others may be passive unless provoked. Resource Management: As a survival-based game, players must manage their resources, including ammunition, health packs, and other items found during their exploration. This adds a layer of strategy, as players must decide when to use resources and when to conserve them for more difficult encounters. Environment and Setting: The game takes place in a prehistoric world, featuring dense jungles, volcanic landscapes, and treacherous terrains. Each level has its own environmental challenges, such as hazardous cliffs, quick sand, or raging rivers, adding variety to the gameplay.
