If you’re sitting there thinking that that looks a lot like krystal from star for adventures, then you’d be right. Dinosaur planet was developed by rare and was supposed to come out for the n64 to join the ranks of Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, but it never happened, instead joining the star fox universe and becoming one of my Favorite GameCube Games.
The N64 Recompiled Tool has been used to create native pc ports of lots of existing games like major’s mask since it appeared last year, and now a user has taken the beta build of dinosaur planet that appeared in February 2000 and created an initial native pc port for the unreleased game.
According to GBATEMPGitHub User Francessco121 has restored the beta build that surface 5 years ago which modders have been working on to fix glitched portions and unfinished sequences. Now, it also has modding support, wip widescreen support, and a higher resolution.
For any old-scoool rare fans, the fact that the game is now playable natively on pc is fantastic, though there’s still a virtual list of things that need to be worked on, like ironing out any remaining bugs and adding a higher framerate. But now that the spotlight is on dinosaur planet and more people have access to it, there’s a chance that we might have a community-ever since sooner than we could have ever dreamed of.
As a starfox adventures fan, I would love to experience the full dinosaur planet game in all its glory, especially if it could be brought back back an n64 cartridge to play on original hardware too.
