This repo contains the unpacked files from a legally-downloaded copy of the PC game Dinosaur Safari;
the game is available for download at: http://www.abandonia.com/en/search_abandonia/dinosaur+safari
I played a great deal of this game back in the day and wanted to get it running on my laptop.
Compatibility mode didn't cut it, so I'm using DOSBox to play.
This repo has been created in order to facilitate the study/use of the game's code, potentially for a collaborative project.
The project envisioned will be more of a "Dinosaur Staycation" and involve use of APIs/dinosaur databases.
If that doesn't pan out, I'd still like to dig around in the code to get an idea of how PC games operate.
The original notes associated with these files have been moved from README.txt to below the second dinosaur safari heading.
All of it; this is a work-in-progress.
The game files in this folder are included to make it easier for young children to play Dinosaur Safari.
The files allow you to select the level of difficulty of the
game. Rookie is the normal (hardest) level. Junior,
Senior, and Ace levels are each progressively easier
(because you have additional tools at your disposal).
The plus (ending with _X) files allow you to start with
extra Energy Credits. Standard games start with 200 Energy
Credits. Plus games start with 1000 Energy Credits.
To use any of these files just run the program, go to the
office and select "Open Game". The files are called:
ROOKIE.DSS
ROOKIE_X.DSS
JUNIOR.DSS
JUNIOR_X.DSS
SENIOR.DSS
SENIOR_X.DSS
ACE.DSS
ACE_X.DSS
For very young children (ie, 4-6 years old) an adult or
older child should play the game through to Star Level and
then save the game. Double-clicking on this saved game will
permit very young children to look at all the Dinosaur
animations in the Cladogram Room, flip through the NCS
Special Issue Datazine in the Office and explore the
Mesozoic world with unlimited Energy Credits and Data
Crystals.
And don't forget to look at the Hint Book in the Office !
