Games where you have the option to play as a dinosaur

[DigitalSpace]

Let's see how many games we can think of that have the option to let you play as a dinosaur, whether it's the main character, a bonus, whatever.

Here's a few to start things off:

Dino City (SNES)
Bronkie the Bronchiasaurus (SNES) - A Raya Systems game about asthma
Jurassic Park (Genesis) - You can play as a Raptor, which imo is the best feature in the game.

You failed to mention Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Island DS, and all three Super Smash Bros. games.

Primal Rage, Radical Rex and King of the Monsters 1&2 come to mind.

Tekken 3

[CosmicMonkey]

Tekken 2: Alex the Raptor is the 'alternate costume' of Roger the Kangaroo.

Tekken 3: Gon the cute SD dino is an unlockable character. There's a Manga featuring Gon too.

[Three-P]

There's also that Ivan Drago tribute game on I-Mockery.com. If you win as both Ivan Drago and Apollo Creed, you can unlock a dinosaur. (What the hell this has to do with the Rocky movies, I have no idea.)

[Blitzwing256]

Color A Dinosaur for NES? I know you don't really get to "play" as the dinosaur, but really, there's not anything much else to DO in the game (other than, as the title suggests, color a dinosaur).

[machine.slave]

Surprised no one has mentioned Primal Rage yet.. man, what a terrible game that was..

**edit** nevermind, Chris has already

[Keir]

Trog!Quoted, because it's really the only one you need!

[Ruudos]

Killer Instinct
Killer Instinct Gold

[Lemmy Kilmister]

This may not count, But in Toy Story (For the genesis) There is a level where you are riding rex, The toy dinosaur.

You can also ride dinosaurs in a couple of the Adventure Island games.

[Snapple]

EVO Search for Eden was the first game that came to mind. You can only play as a dinosaur in one section of the game though.

Not true. You can choose to not evolve into a bird or a mammal, and thus spend the last three chapters (the majority of the game) all as a dinosaur.

Don't forget the Trogdor game from homestarrunner.com

I don't think ol' Beefy Arm quite qualifies as a dinosaur.
