Fun with Photoshop: Dino-Riders for the NES!

Harness the Power of Dinosaurs! This is a game I would have loved as a kid, it had aliens, lasers and dinosaurs. Originally a toy line from Tyco, Dino-Riders appeared on TV (watched the first episode on VHS) but it never became popular. The premise of the show was simple, space warriors from the future travel back in time and use dinosaurs as battle vehicles in their ongoing war. The concept would have worked on video game form, but as other games based on cartoon, it would have sucked (nonetheless, I would have begged my parents to buy it).

The cartoon may have failed, but the toy dinosaurs looked amazing. They all had an action features, some of them walked on their own! After the TV series failed, the toys were re-released (without the weapons, alien figures and action mechanics) as part of a line approved by the Smithsonian Institution. With all the recent remake craze, maybe it's time for Dino-Riders to return.
