A Dinosaur's Tale

released on Dec 31, 1994

Play as characters from the Spielberg animated movie We're Back, based entirely on the preview trailer. Run and jump through a variety of levels and defeat Dr. Screweyes. Every second level is a side-scrolling platformer where you take the role of the human kids Cecilia or Louie and move through obstacles to get to the end of the level. These levels are set at various New York locations including a TV studio and a circus that wants to keep the dinosaurs as an exhibit. Every other level is a 3D level where you play one of the dinosaur characters, e.g. skateboarding on the back of a pickup truck as Rex or flying as Elsa over central park while collecting balloons. This is one of the earliest Genesis games with 3D gameplay.

Quit after the first level. If your going to add fall damage to a 2D platform, either a) make it more generous or b) MAKE IT MORE VISUALLY APPARENT THAT I'VE DIED FROM FALL DAMAGE INSTEAD OF JUST SMASH CUTTING TO THE START OF THE LEVEL AS I HIT THE GROUND WITHOUT ANY SORT OF DEATH ANIMATION

this game feels like a bootleg but admittedly is kinda fun. i've had this since i was three but didn't even know it was based on a movie until a few years ago. the movie's mostly bad but the ending portion in the circus is cool in a weird and twisted way.
