'''''Dinosaur World''''' is a [[freeware]] [[video game]] developed by Asylum Entertainment and published by the [[BBC]]. It is a spin-off of Episode 2 of ''[[Walking with Dinosaurs]]'' ("Time of the Titans") and the special ''[[The Ballad of Big Al]]''. The main point of the game is to find all the [[animal]]s and [[plant]]s, including several location features, that are distributed in five different zones. |

The game starts in the beginnings of a dry season at the 'Mossy [[Plain]]', where are some adult ''[[Diplodocus]]'' and ''[[Araucaria]]'' [[tree]]s, with the presence of a single [[dragonfly]]. From this zone you can go to the '[[Desert]]', to the '[[Forest]]' or to the 'Dry Riverbed' [[mountain]]. In the Desert, which is rich in [[cycad]]s, you'll find a pair of [[pterosaur]]s flying, some adolescent ''Diplodocus'' that are chased by Al (the ''[[Allosaurus]]'' from [[The Ballad of Big Al]]), who usually kills the smaller one, but is rare that he doesn't, and then later tries to attack one of the larger ''Diplodocus'', but fails to kill it, got injured, but gets up and wait for the exhaustion to finish off the sick herbivore and then eat it. To the south, two ''[[Stegosaurus]]'' (one dead, trapped in [[quick sand]]). In the middle of the Dry Riverbed you can see some [[dinosaur]] [[Animal tracks|tracks]] that are from a hatchling ''Diplodocus'' and an ''Allosaurus''; when you arrive at the end of the riverbed you'll find the ''Allosaurus'' (female) eating the ''Diplodocus'', apparently she killed him. In the Forest are mainly [[Coast Redwood|redwood]] trees and [[tree fern]]s, at first you won't find animals but an ''Allosaurus'' [[nest]] that is later plundered by an ''[[Ornitholestes]]'' (not featured, only indicated in the news, however, itis sounds can be heard in the forest, easily identified as the noises of the Ornitholestes in [[Walking with Dinosaurs]].) and subsequently noted by Al's mother. The forest has a [[tunnel]], where you can find [[stalactite]]s, that connects with the '[[Volcanic crater|Crater]]'. That zone consist mostly of a [[lake]] (which is really an underwater crater) surrounded by walls, where are many [[Bennettitales]] and like in the Mossy Plain, a sole dragonfly. When you discover all the species and location features, there will be news indicating that a pathway was opened in a Desert cliff. Then, you'll be able to go up, and wait that one of the pterosaurs come close to you for 'tagging him' and fly to a new secret area, the 'Salt Lake'. Another way to get to the Salt Lake is to tag onto the Diplodocus at the edge of the Desert at the farthest distance, untag when you reach the wall, then go along the wall, and you will reach the Salt Lake. Al tries to hunt a flock of ''[[Dryosaurus]]'', but tripped over a tree stump, broke his leg and died in a dried-up riverbed. |
