Hello. This is David Schroeder. In 1983, I wrote the computer game DINO EGGS (for Apple II, C64, IBM). 

(This game is available here on VIZZED as an emulated game in its C64 code form.  I wrote the original code on an Apple II.)

In DINO EGGS, you become Time Master Tim, traveling into the past to save the dinosaurs from extinction. As you search for eggs and rescue the hatching baby dinos, there are dangers all around, not the least of which is the heavy foot of Dino Mom (!)

I am pleased to announce that my game is coming back - expanded and re-imagined - as DINO EGGS: REBIRTH. I hope you will enjoy the video about the game available on youtube -- http://youtu.be/fxBWO1651Ss
 
If the early 1980's were a "golden age" for computer games, perhaps it was because a single artist could create a full-featured game by himself. Every pixel, every tick of the speaker, every byte of self-modifying code was born of the same vision.

In writing the original "Dino Eggs," I took pride in packing everything I could into those big floppy disks, that 48K of memory, and those six screen colors on the old Apple ][.

It is not simple to bring an 8-bit game "up to date." It is like adapting a story to an entirely new medium. I hope you'll enjoy the results.

We're aiming for a Windows PC release later this year.

Thanks for reading...

Hello to you to. That actually looks like quite an addictive game. Something that I could spend quite some time on and not get bored. I'll certainly give it a try when it's finished.

That game sounds like a handful to me to save dinosaurs from extinction that's a very interesting topic right there I'm not really into apple ll games though but it's worth a try.
