Nanosaur (Mac 1998/PC 2002)

Nanosaur For Mac OS and PC by Pangea Software
--------------------------
Nanosaur is a science fiction third person shooter video game developed by Pangea Software and published by Ideas From the Deep. The game revolves around a race of intelligent dinosaurs, "Nanosaurs". The species was bred by human scientists via genetic engineering; however, the human civilization ended shortly following their discovery, as a plague struck the planet and killed them. The few dinosaurs resurrected were lent an unusual amount of intelligence from the humans, leaving them to expand on the growing civilization. However, as the Nanosaurs were the only species on Earth, they were forced to inbreed, which slowly began to pose a threat to their society. In the game, the player must assume the role of a Nanosaur in an attempt to retrieve eggs 65 million years in the past in order to freshen the Nanosaurs' gene pool. The game was being ported to Linux by Three Axis Interactive, but the port was never completed

The protagonist is one of these dinosaurs from the future who has been sent to this time period, and must collect the eggs of 5 dinosaur species before the giant asteroid hits Earth, wiping out the dinosaurs seemingly for good, in 20 minutes. Of course, there are complications, such as the "primitive" dinosaurs, which will attack when their eggs are threatened. Being a dinosaur from the future, the player is equipped with several pieces of technology to help the player in their mission. Some of the enemy dinosaurs encountered by the player are the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Dilophosaurus (who spit like in Jurassic Park), and (not actually a dinosaur, but a flying reptile) Pteranodon.

The landscape features water and lava, which slow the player down, allowing them to be caught by other dinosaurs. However, the player's avatar is not helpless, and possesses the following aids: the fusion blaster, a multi-purpose, basic weapon, the jet pack, for flying over obstacles and enemies, a temporal compass for finding time portals to deposit eggs, and a GPS locator for figuring out where the player is and where they should go. This provides the player with a wide choice of actions and objectives, all within a 20 minute period.
