Play Dynowarz Online

Game Overview

Dynowarz on NES is one of those weird, late-era dinosaur-mech games that feels like someone threw Mega Man and Jurassic Park into a blender. You play as Cyborasaurus—basically a T-Rex with laser cannons—hopping between planets to stop your creator’s mad ex-partner from turning the solar system into his personal robo-dino army. The levels are short but brutal, with jumps that’ll make you groan and enemies that pop up just to ruin your day.

What’s fun is how ridiculous it all is. One minute you’re stomping through jungles blasting raptors, the next you’re in some neon factory dodging conveyor belts. The controls take some getting used to (why does a robotic dinosaur slide when it stops running?), but once it clicks, there’s something oddly satisfying about wrecking everything in your path. Just don’t expect the story to make much sense—it’s pure ‘80s sci-fi cheese, right down to the evil scientist monologues.

If you’re into obscure NES games with janky charm, this one’s a trip. Just keep a finger on the reset button.
