Play Hungry Dinosaurs Online

Hungry Dinosaurs came out for the Super Nintendo in 1994, published by Sierra On-Line. It was one of those educational titles that tried to blend learning with the platform's action-oriented library, a common approach for the era. You don't hear much about it now, but it had a specific look and feel that was very much of its time.

You control a small, round dinosaur named Dexter, and your goal is to guide him through a series of maze-like screens to find and eat the correct types of food. The main challenge is identifying which foods are healthy for a carnivore or herbivore, as indicated at the start of each stage. You move Dexter screen by screen, pushing rocks and avoiding enemies like pterodactyls and erupting volcanoes. The game is slow paced, focused more on puzzle solving than quick reflexes, but the mazes can get tricky and the enemies become more persistent. It feels like a quiet, thoughtful puzzle game dressed in a prehistoric theme.
