What is the best way to teach children new things? Through a game! And learning through the gameplay is Dinosaur Safari main advantage. As you may already have guessed from the title, the game is about dinosaurs. In the game you go on a journey through time to prehistoric era, when dinosaurs walked on the earth. You have been given a task to find the different types of dinosaurs and as you travel around the world, you have to photograph dinosaurs in their natural habitat. At the beginning you have just a basic camera, but gradually as you will gain pictures of dinosaurs, you gain more money and you get access to better equipment, such as a video camera or a detector, that will help you find the individual species. You must be able to distinguish between herbivores and carnivores, because some more aggressive types of dinosaurs may attack your vehicle. Difficulty of the game is not very hard, but that is quite understandable, because the game is designed especially for children, to educate them about... wait for it... dinosaurs!
