About

Dino Wars is an exciting adventure game for two players. Each player controls a
rampaging dinosaur. If you aren't quick, you'll find yourself ruthlessly attacked
by your opponent. Gaining territorial rights is everything. Only the strongest
can take command. It's fast, furious and fun. You may use a 4K system, but
best results are obtained on a 16K color computer.
