Big Al Game was recreated!

[AndyPandy]

Dinodrifters Free Mode and Scenarios gameplay was directly inspired by an awesome old-school PC game called the "Big Al Game."
Your goal was to raise an Allosaurus from infant to adulthood back in the Late Jurassic Period.
Unfortunately, it was removed from the BBC website many years ago, much to the disappointment of many Walking with Dinosaurs fans.

Fortunately, in 2018, game developer Jennifer Edwards recreated the Big Al Game! She released it online. You can either download the EXE file to play on your computer, or play it in your browser:

When you play, appreciate how much Dinodrifters has remained faithful but also greatly expanded upon the gameplay of its ancestor :P

Such a fantastic recreation.

It's well worth a play to see what the Big Al Game was. As well as to have a good fix of nostalgia for those of us who grew up with it.

I'm glad that this exists :)

Thought you would appreciate the link :)

I have no idea how Jennifer recreated the Big Al Game so accurately without access to all the original assets. Definitely props to her!

It's that strange feeling of playing something you thought was lost forever from childhood.
So much nostalgia haha
