Oh, you KNOW you've always wanted to hear the sound of an exploding dinosaur!

[Mood:
¡amused!

And such a sweet, sweet sound 'tis, as well!

Point being that I found this game that someone pre-installed and then hid on my iBook. It's called Nanosaur II: Hatchling.

The story of this game defies all the laws of time and space. And good writing. Ever.



“The year is 4122 and a species of dinosaurs known as the Nanosaurs rule the earth. Genetic experiments by human beings brought the Nanosaurs back from extinction and gave them intelligence, but a plague wiped out the humans so the Nanosaurs built a society of their own.

“However, genetic inbreeding among the Nanosaurs was beginning to pose a threat to their society, so a lone Nanosaur was sent 65 million years into the past to retrieve the eggs of their ancestors. The plan was to incubate the retrieved eggs and hope they would hatch into new breeding stock. But more nefarious elements of the Nanosaur society had other plans for these new eggs...

“A rebel group of Nanosaurs bent on the domination of planet Earth stole most of the eggs and took them to rebel controlled planets with environments suitable to breeding dinosaurs. Their goal is to turn these hatchlings into warrior drones who will fight in their uprising to take over the earth.

“One of the remaining eggs was hatched to form a new Nanosaur, and using wormhole technology based on the time portals used to retrieve the eggs from the past, this hatchling was sent on a mission to retrieve the stolen eggs and destroy the rebel bases.”

Seriously. That’s the story.

You fight with a pterodactyl against all manner of other dinosaurs. And the pterodactyl has a jet pack. And bombs. And there are giant laser-space stations. And Diplodocuses that try to eat you.

Surprisingly, the graphics are ok! And there’s a mode where you can play the game in 3-D if you have 3D glasses.

It would be impossible for me to be any more amused right now.

Oh, and one last thing.

You *know* you’ve always wanted to hear the sound of a dinosaur exploding.
