Description

Dinosaur Safari is an educational title produced in partnership with the Oregon Museum of Science that that teaches children about dinosaurs. It sends the player's character back in time to photograph dinosaurs and other types of prehistoric reptiles as a member of the National Chronographic Society.

By taking photographs and progressing power-ups can be unlocked, such as a call to attract dinosaurs, a radar device to find dinosaurs more easily and a video recorders. Certain animals are aggressive and will attack the Kronos Sphere, the player character's vehicle. The captured images and videos are stored on crystals in the National Chronographic headquarters. There is a large dinosaur index where all information is brought together.

The game is played from a first-person perspective and most of the actions are performed through menu structures, clicking actions in the interface. About two thirds of the game is used to display the environment, the rest is the HUD with buttons and a world map.
