Very nice 5 stars
But I wonder is there any new updates…
Dino Quest: a review 66 years in the making
Having played this game years ago when I was a kid, it was nostalgic to play this game again. Even if I beat it relatively quick. Though, it is still a fun lil time waster! Just wish it was finished and not left in limbo.
Like it is nice to finally see that the americas were added after so long. Though, that just begs the question why is Asia taking so long? Also, it kinda sucks that there’s only 8 dinosaurs in the americas. Given how up to this point, the number of dinosaurs went up by 2, you could’ve added a few more dinosaurs into the game. Especially since North America has some of the most popular dinosaurs of all time, yet only the Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus are here. Personally, I felt like the americas should’ve been saved for last if we’re gonna use BOTH north and south as one big continent, but that’s just me.
Also please, fix the issue of there only being 24 digsites in the Americas when there should be 25. The amber for Tyrannosaurus is literally impossible to find in the game as of now. I had to check the reviews to make sure it wasn’t just me. But aside from that problem and a possible dino roster expansion for the Americas. The selection is rather good for the first game. Definitely like some of the more out there picks like Alamosaurus and Oxalaia. It’s a fun way to help young players learn about dinosaurs that aren’t talked about as much as the usual ones.
Final thing to note is that after playing both this and its sequel, I’m kinda torn on which is better. While I think the gameplay and dinosaur selection is better than 2. It severely lacks the wonderful customization and simulation of Dino Quest 2. Which is understandable given the 2d art style, but it would be fun to add like dioramas to the displays. Would give them a lil more life and spark the imagination that I feel kids would have when visiting a museum. You already have amber that gives you a look at what these dinosaurs could’ve looked like if you find them, why not go all out??But overall, I like both games and hope they’ll be updated again in the near future!!
(Last lil thing, why is Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus in Australia and Africa respectively? Last I remember, they’re both from North America. It’s really just a nitpick since Dino Quest 2 has some questionable dino placements, but that always bothered me, haha!)

You have beef with Asia?
You haven’t put in any dinosaurs for Asia and I was just wondering, how long will it take until you do this? There’s so many fascinating dinosaurs for Asia.
Buen juego
Ya había jugado de chico este mismo juego, pero ahora me tomo en serio el completar cada fósil con cada ámbar, y se me hace muy frustrante que no puedo completar 2 fósiles de Australia porque no aparezca un sitio de excavación a pesar de que ya haya excavado todo Australia y todos los fósiles que me permite. Y estoy viendo que muchos tienen problema con el continente de Asia

Dinomite! Excellent game for all ages
Combines minesweeper-like search for fossil sites with an intriguing and informative set of dino bones from different continents to uncover. Easy mechanics, great graphics and lots of different tools to choose from. 10/10
