Item Description

A tyrannosaur with a big grin and bigger heart leads the way in We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, a bright, friendly platformer based on the 1993 animated film from Steven Spielberg's Amblimation studio. Developed by Visual Concepts and published by Hi-Tech Expressions, the Super Nintendo version uses the movie's characters but tells its own story rather than retracing the film's plot.

Here, the villainous Professor Screweyes has kidnapped the children Louie and Cecilia, and Captain Neweyes and the dinosaurs set off through different time periods to rescue them. You control Rex across five stages, steering past traps, taking down the enemies scattered throughout and collecting power-ups that increase and replenish his health. Rex does not travel alone, either. His dinosaur friends Elsa, Woog, Vorb and Dweeb pitch in from time to time, a fun nod to the film's ensemble that keeps the adventure feeling like a team effort.

The presentation has a cartoon warmth that suits the source. Large, colorful sprites and bright backdrops capture the film's playful look, and the time-hopping structure gives each stage a different flavor. The Super Nintendo game is also its own creation, distinct from the Sega Genesis version, so it offers something different even for players who knew the other console's take.

The difficulty is approachable, but there is still real SNES-era platforming to master. It is also an early credit for Visual Concepts, the studio that would go on to make its name with sports games, which adds a bit of history to a cheerful licensed cartridge. For players revisiting the family-friendly corner of the 16-bit era, it is a charming and nostalgic find.

About the game

In this version, Professor Screw Eyes has kidnapped Louie and Cecilia. Hearing of this, Captain Neweyes and the dinosaurs launch into action to save their friends by traveling through various time periods. The gameplay is a side-scroller that has the player take control of Rex, traveling throughout the levels avoiding traps and defeating various enemies scattered throughout the stages (five in all). Rex can also receive help from his dinosaur pals, Elsa, Woog, Vorb, and Dweeb from time to time. There are also power-ups that increase and replenish Rex's health.
