Dinosaur'us is a platform and role-playing video game developed by RFX Interactive and published by Electronic Arts. It was released exclusively for Nintendo's Game Boy Color on 2 February 2001 in the United Kingdom.[1] However, its release was cancelled in the United States.[2]
The gameplay involved the player taking control of a newly hatched baby dinosaur and controlling it around the game, avoiding hazards and pits like in platform games. However, in addition, enemies were fought in turn-based fashion like on the Pokémon games[1] which were popular on the same console at the same time. Health lost in battles with enemies could be regained in the platform play.[1]
Multiplayer battles were available on the game via a link cable.[2]
Spong.com said of the game "Dinosaur’ Us as a complete game is well crafted, with a good balance between the two genres. This rare quality in a game will make it more appealing and accessible to a much larger audience".[1]
