Same. Back when I was a kid, my imagination had me and the main character as best friends. In my head we were so close that the both of us were inseparable.
Friends, I am now 24 almost 25 and this game takes me way back... to a much simpler time, which if you're reading this, was a much more simple time for all of us. Just words can't really describe how I feel after finding something lost from my childhood like this, I'm sure it's the same for all of you.
I have been thinking about what this game was for years now. Not because I want to play it, but to prove my memories weren't deceiving me. I vaguely remember the house I lived in when I played it, and the family moved when I was only 4 years old. Part of me thought my brain made it up. Strange weight to be lifted for sure, but I feel vindicated.
I received this from another teacher in elementary school. I felt a deep connection between me and the main character. In my imagination we're the best of friends and we were so close, no one could take his place.
I am 24... and for some reason i had a dream of this game. Back when i was only 6 years old. Thankyou for the upload!! I rediscovered my nostalgic childhood!!
A few of those short sequences featuring one particular prehistoric animal used to freak me out as a kid. The _Cynognathus_ one at 19:25 freaked me out the most, to the point where I was most reluctant to click on it.
I got this as a Christmas present when I was 5 and I couldn't use enough hands to count how many times I played this game and complete it. I was so obsessed with this game I played it well throughout high school. And even in college a few times just for the fun of it I played. I honestly don't think I'll ever get tired of this game. It's just so good and I used to be one of the biggest dinosaur fans you'd ever meet.
This was my first real video game. Took me forever to find this game again. Never did get to finish it and I've always wondered how it ended. Now I get to find out!
As a kid, I never could tell if the parasaurolophus main character was a boy or girl, lol. I always assumed a boy, but I guess some people saw the opposite. Loved this game
@@mmgamer9276 right, I'm definitely aware that the voice actor is a woman hahah. But thanks for that interesting tidbit! I'm just referring to the character themselves :p
Had a wild flashback to this game when we started talking about dinos in class. I played this when I was 5ish (2004) when we got a home computer. So great to find your video!
oh my god! I've always remembered the island map, it's insane watching this again and seeing how much of this rings a bell, even the little things like the music skipping in the intro then Pterrence is introduced
I played this game so much as a kid that entering my first name would cause the logo to repeat endlessly, and the egg matching minigame eventually stopped working altogether. I'm unbelievably happy that it runs perfectly on my current pc and that I can once again use my first name without breaking the game. The egg minigame's still broken though, but that's a small price to pay for such a blast from the past. And yes, I will occasionally pick this game up and play it.
I got this game for Christmas when I was probably 10, I'm 26 now. Only got to go through it once before the guy who offered to burn the disk for my mom, stole it.
@@mmgamer9276 that's good to know! I had tried downloading an ISO of the game a couple years ago and couldn't get it to run. Could have just been a bad download. Did you have to do any kinda compatibility settings? Or did it work immediately
Me and the main character are best friends in my imagination. We're both so close and no one could ever take his place. I may be 20 years old but he has never left my mind.
Hey, I've been trying to get this to run on my machine, and I was just curious if there was anything you would suggest I try since you got it working on yours.
@@mmgamer9276 Oh cool I'll look at your guide, cause Ive been struggling with getting it to actually install. I get to the little menu with the dino looking into the cave but then when I click install nothing happens. Hopefully the guide helps :D
Imagine if this spiritual sequel was revamped as the theme park from the original while having the same aesthetic of the new while moving around Paleo Island with either an arrow keyboard and click on the mini game with the mouse.
You can tell that this game has out of date info. T-rex is not the biggest carnivore but it definitely was the most dangerous. Biggest belongs to the spinosaurus.
Mmm. I've been wondering about the voice of Rolf the Parasaurolophus for a long time. Plus, I'm just double checking. could it be Pat Musick voicing Rolf? it sure sounds like the same voice talent. Or was it Jeannie Elias who voiced Rolf as she voiced Huey in Quack Pack?
After listening to some clips on BTVA, I’d say Pat Musick is pretty sure. Also, did anyone else get confused on Rolf's gender back when they first played this?
I remember an old game in which a child was transformed into a dinosaur by a witch, and in the game the child’s true form was restored. Is this the game or not? Does anyone remember this game?
Yes it is possible emulate the game But you can put the game in install from Windows 7,8.1, or 10 on 7 it will Give odd color with 32 bit or 64 bit for 7
Easy just put the disc in the dvd drive You will see a CPU speed pop up message and click yes and then click Install and let it finished after that you play the game
If you are using a desktop or laptop that doesn’t have a dvd drive you can use a dvd drive to a usb or usb-c and you can play with the dvd drive USB port.
Sadly no there’s is no free download of the game but you can use 7zip to copy from the disc to archive into one ☝️ file and that’s how you can get the free version of the game and no longer need the game disc. Hope this helped.
@@mmgamer9276 thanks,I'll try that method. but how do I copy from a disc when I don't have the disk currently? I used to back when I was in middle school but not anymore.
@@mmgamer9276 unfortunately I can't currently afford to purchase games online since I don't own a credit nor debit card. at least I was able to get Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection and Jurassic Park Danger Zone, I guess I'll just wait till a download file becomes available.
@@lordreptilestormblade1749 that is sad and hopefully 🙏 the game will be available if the developers still have the game license if they can try getting to release the game to digital.
Humans didn't show up until 65 million years after the dinosaurs died, and even then, those weren't humans as we know them, they were called homo erectus

I want pink panther passport to peril
Eyewitness VR Dinosaur Hunter being one.
I just finally rediscovered this game after looking for 15 years
nice
I wish i can play it on my mobile
@@ahmadwaheed8634 same here lol, do you know where to find it online at all?
Me friggin too lol
Been in the back of my head for like 20years
This Game was way ahead of its time in terms of writing, voice acting, music and educational content. It so deserves a remake.
It really was, wasn’t it.
Thank you, holy crap this video accessed a core memory. I’m so glad you did Galloping Galamimuses first, that was my favorite game as a kid
Welcome
This game is the reason I can remember so many dinosaur names even after all this time.
Holy crap this takes me back, I never remembered what this game was called
Same. Back when I was a kid, my imagination had me and the main character as best friends. In my head we were so close that the both of us were inseparable.
@@princeofpokemon2934 That's not cool, man; he's a baby.
@@princeofpokemon2934 yooo same. I had a little squad of imaginary friends that would go on little "missions" with me and Rolph was one of them
omfg..... the countless hrs spent on this when iwas little. my first real video game love. so glad found this
Born in 2003 and here I am in 2023 watching gameplay of the first educational game I ever played. God the nostalgia is kicking in.
I was born in 93 and I played the heck out of this game on my windows 98 pc lol
Friends, I am now 24 almost 25 and this game takes me way back... to a much simpler time, which if you're reading this, was a much more simple time for all of us. Just words can't really describe how I feel after finding something lost from my childhood like this, I'm sure it's the same for all of you.
was on a nostalgia trip, watching gameplay of my favorite childhood games. when i came across this. i shit u not. i started crying...
I have been thinking about what this game was for years now. Not because I want to play it, but to prove my memories weren't deceiving me. I vaguely remember the house I lived in when I played it, and the family moved when I was only 4 years old. Part of me thought my brain made it up.
Strange weight to be lifted for sure, but I feel vindicated.
This was my game as a kid. Collecting the eggs gives me nestolgic satisfaction.
The highlight was getting to laugh at the fake eggs, that you unlock by collecting eggs when you already have one unhatched!
I received this from another teacher in elementary school. I felt a deep connection between me and the main character. In my imagination we're the best of friends and we were so close, no one could take his place.
This was the first game I've ever beaten multiple times. It's generic title is probably why I couldn't track it down for so long.
I am 24... and for some reason i had a dream of this game. Back when i was only 6 years old. Thankyou for the upload!! I rediscovered my nostalgic childhood!!
You ever realize that since the last time you played this game, a quarter of your life has passed?
Yes I have last time I played
This when was back in 2007
Lost the disc years ago when I was in high school when I buy the game years later on Ebay
Also, Rolf, the host of the adventure, speaks very eloquently for...a baby.
Childhood memory unlocked
That intro too nostalgic
Rolph faltering with his own species name too funny!
After 21 years since I played this game . I love to see this as a movie .
I’m so glad this game was part of my childhood. It’s still as good as I remember it!!
No bones about it, this game is one of the best
All of my siblings and myself would pull up chairs in living room to play this together and take turns.
Hotseating THIS game is an uncanny thing to do!

17:14 - "Come on, I'll help you!" *stuffs baby dinosaur into backpack*
What's funny is that Rolph's just a baby himself.
I used to love playing this game as a kid! So many fun memories of me playing for hours. My favorite area was the Triassic section.
As a kid, I never could tell if the parasaurolophus main character was a boy or girl, lol. I always assumed a boy, but I guess some people saw the opposite. Loved this game
Voice is Lena Thoms for Parasaurolohus.
@@mmgamer9276 right, I'm definitely aware that the voice actor is a woman hahah. But thanks for that interesting tidbit! I'm just referring to the character themselves :p
@@BaleetedUser Rolph's a boy. And he's also a baby, going by his size relative to the CGI dinosaurs. Rolph's shape also proves he's a baby.
@@mmgamer9276 I already envision it being Matt Stone!
Had a wild flashback to this game when we started talking about dinos in class. I played this when I was 5ish (2004) when we got a home computer. So great to find your video!
Finally found this game, I couldnt remember what this game was called for so so long. Lets go. I played this when I was like 3 or 4 years old.
My childhood. Thank you for this.
oh my god! I've always remembered the island map, it's insane watching this again and seeing how much of this rings a bell, even the little things like the music skipping in the intro then Pterrence is introduced
Thanks for upload. Was looking for this, but kept getting it confused with 3D Dinosaur Adventure. Can't believe the names were that close.
I played this game so much as a kid that entering my first name would cause the logo to repeat endlessly, and the egg matching minigame eventually stopped working altogether.

I really grew up with this game
This was one of my favorite computer games as a kid.
Ah, memories.
one of the best games ever
I played this all the time as a kid.
After probably 10+ years of trying to find out what the name of that werid dinosaur game i played at school. I FINALLY FOUND IT
OMG I love this game. I used to play all the time! This brings back memories!
IN 18:53. When the T Rex came out like that it scared me when I was young
i was feeling nostalgic and just thinking of this game. i used to LOVE this game!
I got this game for Christmas when I was probably 10, I'm 26 now. Only got to go through it once before the guy who offered to burn the disk for my mom, stole it.
sorry to hear that
@@mmgamer9276
I'll get it online for cheap
My school had a computer in every classroom, and this was the only game in my classroom. I have been searching for 12 years
It took me forever to find this game because "3-D Dinosaur Adventure" and "Dinosaur Adventure 3-D" are two seperate titles by the same developer.
A lawsuit could come from either dev for creating “Dinosaur Adventure Forever”.
Holy shit I haven't played this since I was 8. Always wanted to find it again
you might be able this at like flee market, vintage games store, garage sales, or on Ebay
@@mmgamer9276 what version of Windows did you play this on?
@@Rubaiin this is on Windows 10 64 bit
And plays very well
@@mmgamer9276 that's good to know! I had tried downloading an ISO of the game a couple years ago and couldn't get it to run. Could have just been a bad download.
Did you have to do any kinda compatibility settings? Or did it work immediately
@@Rubaiin nope haven't mess the compatibility it should install the game
Just fine and play
omg the T rex coming from the side of the screen would scare me so much as a kid
Me and the main character are best friends in my imagination. We're both so close and no one could ever take his place. I may be 20 years old but he has never left my mind.
I know the feeling. please help me get a free download of this game.
Hey, I've been trying to get this to run on my machine, and I was just curious if there was anything you would suggest I try since you got it working on yours.
The game runs fine when install it on the computer like Intel or AMD and I have
video install guide of Dinosaur Adventure 3-D
when you put disc in.
@@mmgamer9276 Oh cool I'll look at your guide, cause Ive been struggling with getting it to actually install. I get to the little menu with the dino looking into the cave but then when I click install nothing happens. Hopefully the guide helps :D
Holy shit....I had completely forgotten
Imagine if this spiritual sequel was revamped as the theme park from the original while having the same aesthetic of the new while moving around Paleo Island with either an arrow keyboard and click on the mini game with the mouse.
this game really made me who I am today
Nostalgia at its finest ❤️
31:10 The part I'd hang out in the Jurassic Period
Nuts I've been looking for this game for so fuckin long
Look at them featherless raptors and their backwards wrists lmfao.
You can tell that this game has out of date info. T-rex is not the biggest carnivore but it definitely was the most dangerous. Biggest belongs to the spinosaurus.
I played this in school when I was really young
Took me so long to finally find this game i miss being a little kid😥
THIS IS IT! I e been looking for this forever!
7:47 I remember that noise scared me, complete ear rape lol
I just realized! Did this game really come out in 1993!?
Yes it did came out in 1993 on DOS CD and released in 1999 by knowledge Adventure.
@@mmgamer9276 oh now I understand
Played this as a child lol
I found it! My god I can be free!!!!
Oh sure, blame the carnivores for just acting in their nature!
Cars are a valid system of measurement.
Like I said. In 22:53. That T Rex scared me when it did that when I was young.
Look who's here my favorite meat eater

Dimetrodon was from the Permian, so why is it in Triassic land even though it’s says it’s from the Permian

i forgot about rolf and how he says the hatchery
And how he's capable of all those feats and confronting a fucking T-Rex, when he's just a baby!
how'd you get this to run?
Easy just put the disc in the dvd drive
You will see a CPU speed pop up message and click yes and then click
Install and let it finished after that you play the game
M&M Gamer92 was able to get it working, had a 16 to 64 bit conflict but I sorted it. Thanks

Where can I get this game for my kids to play?
You can get on Ebay or at a vintage game store? Hope this helps.
