Play We?re Back! ? A Dinosaur?s Tale Online

I remember picking up We're Back! A Dinosaur's Tale for the Sega Genesis back in 1993. It was published by Hi Tech Expressions, one of those many licensed games based on a movie that filled the rental shelves at the time. On a system known for its speedy action games and colorful platformers, this one always stood out to me because of its subject; you don't get to play as a dinosaur every day.

In the game, you control a young Tyrannosaurus Rex named Rex. Your main goal is to navigate through a series of side-scrolling levels to find and rescue your dinosaur friends who have been scattered. The gameplay involves a lot of running and jumping across platforms, but your primary method of dealing with enemies is a unique tail whip attack. You also collect special bones hidden throughout the stages; gathering enough of them grants you an extra life. The levels can feel a bit cramped and the controls require some precision, making certain jumps more challenging than they first appear. It feels like a straightforward, slightly clunky adventure from that era, where success often depends on memorizing the stage layouts.
