That word is enough to rock the earth, and my wallet. I am the proud owner of Dino Master, developed by fallen-on-hard-times once-proud-now-pitiful Taito and published in the US by Majesco, publisher of all things small and fiscally questionable! And while I play Dino Masters every Night before I go to bed...
I want more...
That is why when I saw Dino King Battle on gonintendo this morning, I was ecstatic! This will be my next foray into my childhood love of everything paleontology! Again developed by almost pathetic development house Taito, U.S. Publishers: please don't force me to import this title!
GoNintendo's translated source
Dinosaurs:
ankirosaurusu <--- Ankylosaurs are my favorite!
yutaraputoru <--- The much famed Utah-Raptor!
parasaurorohusu <--- Check out it's vicious bug-eyed rabid stare!
Tyrannosaurus <--- Hey! They got a name right!
kentorosaurusu <--- I've never seen such a pwnful Stegosaur!
torikeratopusu <--- That has got to be the kickingest Triceratops color scheme I've ever seen! Black 4tw!
Too bad it's card based... if it's actually based on REAL cards, it'll never come out stateside! /cry

QuoteAnkylosaurs are my favorite, too; small world. I used to have a tiny rubber toy when I was a little kid. I would put it in my mouth. And then destroy hordes of those little green army men with it.

And then you'd run around the town on a market day.

100% ditto. Sadly, I wasn't spoiled enough as a kid, so I didn't ever get any others besides the pterodactyl hang glider. I watched that video over and over again, complete with commercial breaks for their other toys, mostly Lego ripoffs and RC cars. I think it was Tyco.

PS I love the internet!
Looking at that, it seems most of the ones I had were from series 1.

That vile vicious falsyfying name rears its ugly head yet again! When will people learn, Brontosaurus it is not! No thunderlizard! The Brontosaurus, originally thought to be a different creature, was really the Apatosaurus, just with bones connected differently! Hear that world? APATOSAURUS! FLAT-FOOTED LIZARD! Its not as sexy as THUNDER, but it's CORRECT!
LOL. But really, you do redeem yourself by using "Land Before Time" terminology. All is forgiven. You would've even garnered bonus points if you'd called it a "flat-head!"
Either way, I collected sturdier dino toys. These Dino Rider toys, while cool, had a flimsy empty feeling to them and tended to break easily. MY dino toys were all solid plastic and chunky chunky, so that my Triceratops really FELT like it had some heft when it was charging at my T-Rex!
...oh...and I used the small rubber/eraser dinosaurs as babies...

Did you spell that right? It sounds like a photogenic kind of dinosaur.
By the way, there are creatures called "Edmontosaurus" and "Albertosaurus". And I live in Edmonton, Alberta, so I take pride in that dinosaurs used to live here!
I once played a fact-filled dinosaur computer game, and came across this fact: "Albertosauruses lived in what is now Montana." Well, sure, smart guy, but what was it with them that they couldn't name anything in Canada? Would it have killed them to say that it got its name because they lived in what is now Alberta? HONESTLY.

Hahaha, me too...I wish I didn't remember... ;_;
"Did you spell that right? It sounds like a photogenic kind of dinosaur."
Absolutely positive! The Royal Tyrrell Museum isn't that far away from you, so I recommend you go and review your dinosaur knowledge! ^_^
