Play We’re Back!: A Dinosaur’s Story (dos) Online

We're Back!: A Dinosaur's Story is a platform game released for MS-DOS in 1993. Developed by Visual Concepts, Ltd. and published by Hi-Tech Expressions, Inc., it is a licensed title based on the animated film of the same name. The game presents a side view and features characters from the movie, though it does not follow the film's plot directly. Instead, it introduces an original scenario set within a science fiction framework involving time travel.

In the game, players control Rex, a dinosaur, on a mission to rescue the kidnapped children Louie and Cecilia from the villain Professor Screw Eyes. The objective is to guide Rex through five distinct side scrolling levels, each representing a different time period. Progression involves navigating environments, avoiding environmental traps, and defeating a variety of enemies encountered throughout the stages. The core gameplay systems consist of precise platforming movement, straightforward combat against foes, and the collection of power ups that restore or increase the character's health.

Rex is occasionally assisted by other dinosaur characters from the film, namely Elsa, Woog, Vorb, and Dweeb, who provide aid during the journey. The structure is linear, with players advancing from one stage to the next. The challenge primarily comes from navigating the level layouts and managing encounters with enemies and hazards.
