Description
Designasaurus II is an adventure and educational game that was released in 1990. It is a sequel of Designasaurus, but
in many ways considered superior to its predecessor. Unlike Designasaurus which focussed more on the educational aspects
than entertainment, Designasaurus II is a more realistic simulation of Dinosaurs in their natural habitat.
The player gets to play as a Dinosaur and gets to build and customize their Dinosaur by picking and choosing parts of
its anatomy such as head, tail, and body. The player then gets to name the Dinosaur after which they travel thousands
of years back in time to embark on a quest. The goal is to find hidden geneprints in different geological periods.
These geneprints were stolen by a rogue scientist from a prestigious research facility with intentions to wipe out
Dinosaurs from the face of the earth. The player now needs to navigate through five different ecozones to retrieve
these gene prints and save the species from extinction. Designasaurus II has cleverly incorporated action sequences
into the game in a way that throws light on the predatory nature of dinosaurs and how they behave in their natural
surroundings. The player's dinosaur can either fight and eat other dinosaurs to sustain itself or mate with them to create
offspring and maintain the balance of nature. The game can be saved at any point to continue later.
The player can also choose to return to the starting point and resume the quest all over again. The game can be played
using a keyboard or joystick. Once the quest is completed, the player is awarded a certificate and the prestigious position
of Chief Scientist.
