Designasaurus II

Designasaurus II is a video game in the action genre developed by Visual Concepts, Ltd. and published by Britannica Software, Inc. originally released in 1990. It is currently playable on DOS.

One of the best and most original edutainment titles ever made, Designasaurus II is the superior sequel to Britannica's Designasaurus, the only 'dinosaur simulator' for the Commodore 64.

Forget modern dinosaur games: Designasaurus II lets you BE one instead of just learning about these animals. Your job is to first create a dinosaur and then guide it through the five ecozones to prevent its extinction. The game starts with a storyline: the Foundation needs your help to send a dinosaur, created by you, back in time to find the missing genetic footprints before Jurassic Park becomes a reality on Earth. If you don't know what a genetic fingerprint is, you will after you finish your first mission.

The controls are intuitive, and the game is challenging and unique enough that kids of all ages will enjoy creating and controlling dinosaurs for hours on end. They will learn a lot of interesting information about these intriguing animals in the process, while having fun, the hallmark of good edutainment. Too bad there is no other game like it, even today. . .
