The 1-Upper: Dino Run
Run, Dino, Run!
I’ve got a thing for nostalgia. I grew up with a Colecovision and an Atari 5200, and it’s everything I can do not to dig them out of my parents’ basement closet from time to time. That’s probably why I loved Dino Run from the get go, given it looks like it came straight from an 8-bit system or the guys who do Homestar Runner.
Dino Run is a bit like Sonic the Hedgehog, since pretty much all you do is run, jump over stuff, and collect eggs, all while running away from the big meteor and pending extinction. Stepping into the role of what I’m guessing is a velociraptor, you’ve got to dodge dopey triceratops and rocks and pitfalls, and the faster you reach the end of each course - and with a good number of eggs in tow - you’ll get more DNA to spend on better abilities.
Let’s just hope Dennis Nedry turns up in time.
Go play Dino Run here.
