- A playthrough of Bandai's 1990 game for the NES, Dynowarz: The Destruction of Spondylus.
Dynowarz is one of those games that very few people seem to remember, often evoking those "I thought I knew about NES and I've never even heard of this" type responses. Why is that?
Well, probably because it was a thoroughly mediocre game that never seemed to strive to be anything more than that. I don't think it's strikingly awful or anything, but it's pretty bland, ugly, and uninspired. The game is alternates between two different styles: in one, you platform as Professor Proteus in his "battle suit" through enemy bases to destroy their cores, while the other gives you control of "Cyborasaurus," a "Robosaur" who has to destroy other Robosaurs to collect power-ups as he transports the Professor to the next base entrance.
Do this enough times and you'll see a static picture with a congratulatory message and the game ends. It's pretty simple and straightforward. It's also pretty easy once you figure out which power-ups to grab and which to leave behind, but it's pretty clunky. A "no-hit" run doesn't seem too likely unless you cheat since the hit detection tends to be pretty hit-or-miss, and the jumping controls are often extremely awkward (just try lining up a shot while in midair!).
The idea probably would appeal to kids - I doubt the resemblance to Power Rangers (or anything else similar to the Power/Sentai Rangers) was accidental, and who doesn't want to be a giant robot dinosaur? Well, if your child wants to become one when they grow up, this might convince them otherwise! It's entertaining enough to begin with, but it's likely to bore you before you ever get to the end. It did me.

You don't understand how long I've been looking for this games. Probably the first game I've ever played. Nostalgia hit me hard seeing this for the first time in over 20 years
when you've forgotten all about this game but you later find out your brain hasn't forgotten once you see it
This bring me memories of my mom playing this one almost 4 am for a week
I LOVED the music in that game, and the scene before the dino stage. So epic. Over 30 years later, sounds as awesome as I remember. 😭
I had this game as a tiny kid! The music was so cool!
I remember this game. It was cool getting you know, robot dinosaurs. But the ending... oh boy. I was not happy when I finally beat it.
The music is so atmospheric, I can feel the isolation and emptiness of the outer areas, being barren, outside of a few robots, I love it.
I bought this game off eBay (With sleeve and manual) for Hanukkah of 2018 along with Mother 3...
You can probably tell which game I got more mileage out of, but I don’t regret the 9 dollars I spent on Dynowarz.
It’s been a year since I first played this, and while Mother 3 became my 2nd favorite game in history ever, Dynowarz I mostly forgot about, except for that great Dino mech music.
ACC had a great sound team. The same composers also worked on a game for the PCE Engine called Tatsu no Ko Fighter, so if you like this game's audio, you might like that one as well.
@@Doommaster1994 thanks for the recommendation. I’ll give it a look.
The ending slide is really funny: "Congratulations! You've finished another great game from Bandai." Well, at least they spell "Congratulations" right, unlike a certain other game...
yeah, Conglaturations. lol
Avgn moment
Great game my ass! This game is about as great as a shit sandwich 💩 🥪
Congraturation
This story is happy end
At least here it's not like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde lol
Awww, This game was sweet misery. I still remember that stage music as it were yesterday.That ending was just as bad as I remembered.
Classic. I remember when a buddy of mine got this for his NES and invited me over to check it out. The music was epic for "NES" lol. I remember thinking about the game long after I left his house. Man, how times have changed, lol.
I made myself believe this was a power rangers game back in the day
Ironically the character we controlled in this game was named Jason 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You was playing this when that show aired?
Rough childhood
No gaming system will ever have such nostalgic game sounds.
Double Dragon will always be the best
Dynowarz seems like a perfect concept for an awesome video game (who doesn't want to be a giant robot dinosaur?!), but it fumbles the idea pretty badly. It's not terrible, and I really wouldn't recommend it, but don't let my opinion stop you if your interested - I found it too clunky and boring, but who knows? You might like it just fine.
oh boy my favorite thing to do in a robot dinosaur based/titled game: play as a human
NintendoComplete Looks ok, Not like a bad game, Thought.
I think I would like it.
Honestly, I had this one as a kid, and it was one of my favorites! Granted, I didn't have too many games because we were pretty poor (no megaman, no final fantasy, no metroid, etc) but it still gives me warm and fluffy feelings to watch it again. :]
Holy shit this was one of my favorite games as a kid and forgot what it was called. Thank you!!!
I still remember my best friend boasting about this new game he got- it sounded like the most amazing thing in the world. I was entranced by the idea of piloting a giant robot dinosaur, and loved the robot's design. Then I watched him play it. Just... endless, endless boring levels with the same "flat plane, then sometimes a little second level" design, followed by just standing there and blasting an enemy boss", and then REALLY BORING "human levels". Just terrible. What a disappointment- if only they'd put that great sprite design into a quality game- we'd still be talking about it to this day!
This was the first game i bought with my own money as a child. Was 10 bucks at toys r us, back when they had thst separate area to pick games up. It always made you feel like the man getting a game there.
Now im 40, inna wheelchair. But ive never forgot how i used to feel as a spoiled middle class child in America in the 90s.
There's something about this game that's literally making me fall asleep. Must be the combination of music and gameplay... I rented this one and never got too far, as it would bore me each and every time. Darn shame that is, but what can you do - not all NES games are masterpieces, after all. :)
Mariusz Bosy So, so true.
I have such a bizzarely clear memory that this is the first video game I ever saw, I visited my neighbor across the street who was playing it on this thing I’d never heard of called a “Nintendo” and I was spellbound. Never knew what an influential moment that would be for decades of my future.
I remember reading about this in a magazine and then playing it myself. It was very sleepy. Very sleepy game.
What do you mean by 'sleepy'
@@shignificent Boring.
@@alucard624 thank u, I am daft
What do you mean by 'daft'
i used to love this game as kid. as an adult I can see it's flaws, but I sure a bit of fun with this one back in the day.
I remember that this game (its cover) caught my attention and my parents rented it to me (perhaps on more than one occasion). Unfortunately, it had a bug that prevented me from advancing more than 5 minutes, as the game was freezing before entering the first cavern. I didn't even remember its name, but I finally saw what secrets it kept behind and I think it wasn't so bad that it was broken, because I changed it for something else (surely Mega Man 3, Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania III, which were my favorite games) .
This game was the very first game I ever beat.
Seeing this on a Saturday night . July 20, 2024
Oh I remember this game. I was so excited because I thought the same thing - a giant robot dinosaur?!? How could it NOT be awesome. I think it was one of the few games that, after renting, I returned early because it was just that awful.
I remember renting this one as well. Never finished it though, it almost made me fall asleep a couple of times. The strangely hypnotic music combined with dull gameplay must be the reason for that...
I played many hours of this on my fake-nes in early 90's.
Now just imagine if they remade this game with the same level of luscious environmental detail that Mass Effect had, the action combat that Zone of the Enders 2 had, and the character customization that Custom Robo had. Throw in some RPG elements, unlockables, interstellar travel, and the ability to transform from robosaur to fighter mech and back. So many possibilities for older games like this, with a treasure trove of original ideas locked behind older generations of consoles, and yet they lay stagnant.
This type of game is ripe for a proper remake with modern gameplay mechanics. But no, all we seem to get is yet another 3rd person cover shooter with gear loot mechanics with Outriders, and more Call of Duty nonsense instead of something actually interesting. It's sad when it's the bootleg looking indie games that seem to be the only ones taking any sort of risks these days.
Im tired of outrider games too @@alucard624
Okay I'm born in 98 so I'm removed from the nostalgia but watching this there isn't much variety in levels and enemies compared to other NES games so I can imagine the gameplay feeling sluggish on OP's end. It doesn't do the phenomenal cover art any justice.
The old Nintendo games were hard AF! I beat ps3 to ps5 in 4 days.
Never seen this nes game before. Like nes fever dream.
I hated how there was not even a final boss to this game. I beat it when I was 7 or 8 and was disappointed
I used to love this damm game
I always forget the name of this game. I found it thanks to Google searching NES robot dinosaur game
This is the first video game I ever beat, even though the visuals are really weird and interesting the gameplay is dull and derivative. Still, there aren't a ton of dinosaur themed games on the NES.
I bloody love this game. I know people don't care too much for it or know of it's existence. I blame Bandai's lack of marketing for the failure of sales. If you enjoy 2D platformers that change it up and love dino saurs I suggest trying this out. No masterpiece by any means but it's a 40 minute diversion!
Glad I'm not the only one who appreciates this game. I want to livestream it sometime.
This game was awesome.
Pal sounds
My uncle got me this game for Christmas one year so I played it quite a bit. Pretty average game overall but the music is pretty moody and awesome.
Music stopping between screens is really off putting
damn dude save some skill for the rest of us
Bandai?
That explains all.
This is another NES game that was done by Advance Communication Company.
Didn't they learn their lesson from "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?" Just because the cover looks badass, the game will not look badass lol.
The Horizon games R the best games about robot dinosaurs.
ADDACOMMENT!!!...!!!...EXPLAINED!!!
It just wasn't enough to call their game freakin DYNOWARZ. They had to include that incoherent subtitle.
The concept is pretty awesome and I like the music, but boy did they come up with bland level design and gameplay. Why are there so many spike pits? It's like they took a look at the earliest Mega Man games and all they got out of it was that spike pits need to be a thing in their game.
Not to mention every single end stage boss is exactly the same.
Liked it as a kid. Not great but not bad either. Thumbs down however for not showing all the weapons. Looks like you were at first but then you didn't bother with the bombs.
What is even the story to this game?
Dino in, Dino out
My rocket arm will win this bout
Defeating all my foes for clout
What's there more to talk about?
This looks like a bad homebrew. I'm amazed Nintendo actually gave it their seal of quality. Then again they gave their seal of approval to crap like Power Punch II, so that ain't sayin' much.
Anyone else see Jontron's post on twitter about this game?
Huh. What a coincidence.
Did he go on some bizarre racist rant about it?
Great Question! lol Nah, he just said it had some of the best cover art.
@@chuckobscure Yeah something about the main character being black and that's why he can jump so high.
Another turd I thought was gonna be a masterpiece. Funny how NES all looked so awesome by the cover, but we're a total disappointment plugged into the system.
This has terrible music, but overall it is not too bad for a NES game that I have never heard about.
I actually liked the music on here
This game is so bad it's making dinosaurs roll over in their graves.
