    I've never even seen anything substantial enough on this game to form a valid opinion. Just alot of speculation and innuendo.

    The only dinos you will see are the ones in PTW.

    (has anyone bothered to make a scenario using those animations anyway?)

    There should be more games about dinosaurs.

    i thought this forum was for super old games that you just can't play anymore, like touchdown football for the pcjr...underdogs has been looking for it for like 3 years now, and i can't find my disk.

    If somebody would draw the dinosaurs for me, I'd be willing to make a dinosaurs mod pack for Freeciv. It might not be what sid intended, but it would be a game about dinosaurs.

    What minimal info was released about this game always sounded rubbish to me. I'm glad it got canned.

    Note that my Freeciv modpack would be like normal Freeciv, the differences being that it would have the scientific names for dinosaur families for nation/unit names and different tech tree. If someone will point out the relevant threads I'll try to base it on what was released about sid's dinosaurs game, otherwise I'll find a good dinosaur information site and use that.

    But I would still like to see this game completed.

    BTW...does anyone know: Was there ever a publisher for this game. How did Firaxis fund the development they did on this game. Out of their own pockets?
