Dino Genesis

About

Dino Genesis is a mobile RPG from 2000 built for early smartphone users in Japan. Players manage a team of dinosaurs in turn-based battles while navigating a simple story and character progression. Gameplay focuses on tactical positioning and stat management with limited real-time elements. The mobile format meant quick sessions but also reliance on a now-defunct online server for key features. Developed by Capcom during its early mobile experiment phase, the game’s server shut down in 2004 and no playable copies remain. Despite its brief lifespan, it’s noted for blending prehistoric themes with early RPG mechanics tailored to i-mode devices. Scant records suggest a modest following among collectors of obscure mobile gaming history.
