Launch Dinosaur world

Travel back in time and meet the Jurassic giants roaming a 3D dinosaur landscape.

It's the return of an old favourite - the game that uses the same 3D engine as the BBC TV series Walking with Dinosaurs.

Requirements

This prototype game is a large download (20MB) suitable for fast internet connections only. Check you have the minimum specification required to play the beta version of this game:

Low spec version:
P2, 333 MHz with 64 Mb RAM, 8 Mb 3D card*, and DirectX 8.1

Higher spec version:
P2, 533 Mhz with 128 Mb RAM, 16 Mb 3D card*, and DirectX 8.1

Operating system:
Windows 98 and 2000, and appears to be fine on XP.

*Please ensure that the latest drivers are installed for your graphics card. Some 8Mb cards may not display the graphics properly due to lack of updated drivers.

  • Make sure you have enough free space on your hard drive.
