When I was a kid, I enjoyed playing Dinotopia: The Timestone Pirates for the GameBoy Advance. It is an interactive world full of art, science, and invention. In the course of their adventure they will get to explore for themselves many familiar locations including … It is set in James Gurney's Dinotopia. Dinotopia is an isolated island inhabited by shipwrecked humans and sentient dinosaurs who have learned to coexist peacefully as a single symbiotic society. There are three eggs hidden in every level. Scurvy pirates are hungry for treasure. Dinotopia is a solid, nonviolent adventure game based on the books by James Gurney. Navigation is perfectly simple and is mouse controlled by using the footprint icon. Items can be picked up and used by selecting the hand icon although using items is a little fiddly at times and may frustrate some children if they don't select exactly the right pixel. In the course of their adventure they will get to explore for themselves many familiar locations including the Hatchery, Waterfall City and the lofty heights of Tree Town. As the game progresses, it becomes apparent that the pirates are after the Timestone, a mythical artifact said to slow time around whoever holds it. The action takes place in the top two thirds of the screen and in the bottom third you will find the inventory, the map, and the icons for interacting with the game world. In this game there are lots items to collect and trade, lots of clues to find and plenty of good deeds to be done along the way, although it is not necessary to help every single dinotopian citizen in distress.
