Dinosaur Fossil Hunter

Publisher: PlayWay S.A., Pyramid Games S.A.

Developer: A Pyramid Games

Genre: Simulation

Release Date: Out Now

Platform: PC

Many kids (and adults) develop an odd fascination with dinosaurs; something which Jurassic Park certainly encouraged. The problem is, palaeontology is an incredibly competitive field that is difficult to get into, so the idea of a simulator that allows you to live out this dream is certainly very appealing. With my emotional support Orthoceras fossil in hand, I jumped at the opportunity to try out Dinosaur Fossil Hunter.

As you start your escapades the tone is immediately set with music reminiscent of old adventure movies and a lovely narrator. You're guided through an interactive intro as you're told the story of the main character and how he went from his own childhood love of dinosaurs to being in the field of palaeontology. Doing a draw-bynumbers dino was a pretty big highlight and as the thought of asking my mom to put it on the fridge came to mind the Steam achievement "Daddy I Drew a Dino" popped up which was pretty funny at the time.
