Dino

About

Dino is a side-scrolling platform game where you control a dinosaur rider racing to accumulate points by traveling as far as possible. You leap over gaps and mushrooms while dodging flying creatures and spiders. The gameplay focuses on timing jumps and avoiding hazards to stay in the race. Each level scrolls horizontally, requiring quick reflexes to maintain momentum. The game stood out in 1987 for its straightforward but challenging mechanics on the BBC Microcomputer. With no story or complex systems, its appeal lay in simple, tense progression. Community archives note its tight controls and escalating difficulty as key draws. Though short and single-player-only, it remains a niche example of early platforming on home computers.
