You are a dinosaur (a Nanosaur to be exact) from the future who has traveled back in time to collect the eggs of 5 dinosaur species before the giant asteroid hits the earth. The “primitive” dinosaurs will attack you as you try to get their eggs, but just remember that it’s for their own good that you blast them into oblivion!

Being a dinosaur from the future, you are equipped with several pieces of technology to help you in your mission:

  • Fusion Blaster: a multipurpose weapon for killing things.
  • Jet Pack: for flying over things that might kill you.
  • Temporal Compass: for finding time portals.
  • GPS Locator: for figuring out where you are and where you should go.

You can jump, swim, run around, jet around, shoot stuff, etc. The general rule to playing the game is “if it moves, kill it or it’ll kill you.” You only have 20 minutes to collect all 5 egg species so being efficient about your actions is critical.

About this port: Nanosaur was released in 1998 by Pangea Software. It was a pack-in game on Macs that came out around that time. This port aims to provide the best way to experience Nanosaur today. This port was made and re-released under permission from Pangea Software, Inc.
