Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
If you're a fan of run 'n' gun platformers, here's a game worth checking out. Dyna Gear features some superb graphics and animation, plus a pretty cool co-op mode where one player controls a barrel-chested wolf creature. I'd never heard of the game before, but having played it, I was really quite impressed.
In terms of story, you play some guy stranded on an alien world, looking for some means of escape. The land is full of prehistoric creatures and dinosaurs, many hostile, although you'll find assistance in the form a tribe of friendly wolfmen and their dino pets.
The game feels and plays much like Ghouls 'n Ghosts on steroids, maybe with a bit of The Astyanax thrown in for good measure. It's pretty hardcore in the later levels, but with visuals like this, Dyna Gear must have been a real draw when it was rolled out on the arcade floor. It's incredibly fast-paced and exciting, something that, unfortunately, drops off about halfway through the game, but it's still good fun.

Back in the days the arcades were saturated by tons of games like these, which is why it's so easy to overlook some of these classic gems. some of these games could be ported to handheld or smartphones. I personally think some of these games still look amazing

[@oloruncorey6745]

This is like Joe And Mac and Ghouls N Ghost had a kid together.

[@professors84]

There really seems to be no end to weird 80s and 90s arcade games.

[@joe718gt4]

I like how they just decide to kill everything on that planet to chase a criminal

[@leandrusi4533]

Strange biology these creatures have... to be made of coins with the mortal kombat logo

[@maestrolodahl8681]

He runs..like he is looking for the nearest bathroom xD xD xD

[@joelhannah5826]

Exploding Dinosaurs and a main character that runs like he's about to take a dump. Seriously though this is a cool game

[@ArttuTheCat]

Watching you playing this arcade game, it's like watching a cartoon flick 😹😸😺👍. And that golden coin reminds me of MORTAL KOMBAT. 😹😸.

[@LongForgottenOne]

I don't get it, why this game wasn't as popular back then? It looks super fun.

[@ItsBigIan]

Between "Shoot me in the back" and that noose hanging from a tree, I'm guessing life on this planet is pretty miserable.

[@Davtwan]

So his plan was to alter dinosaurs to fight for him and collect dinosaur DNA to become several beasts? Guessing he didn’t really have an end game there.

[@Jackfromshack]

Looks amazing!

[@hexkwondo]

Damn, why couldn’t this game get a console port? This is awesome!

[@salsichalivre5401]

This game may be from 1993, but it has a lot of complex programming stuff going on. It is really well made.

[@MyBrothersKeeper101]

You can see the character hit VTEC after running for a little bit 🤘

[@Razamaniac]

So sad ending :(

[@traviscooper2205]

That game looks fun.

[@steveg9088]

[@gsrleo]

I absolutely love the art style! Such a beautiful looking game 🥰

[@gary9346]

Weird writing and weirder sound effects. Who made this?
