Grand Theft Dino - May 13, 2008

dino run grab.bmpWe’ve just been sent a link to this rather excellent dinosaur game. This was closely followed by a slight drop in office productivity.

As creator Richard Grillotti told ShackNews in an interview last year, “I started sketching and I sketched dinosaurs. ... All of a sudden that sprung up. ‘Dinosaurs! And you’ve got to escape this wall of doom! Cool, that sounds fun.’”

It is fun. Can you outrun the extinction while munching on pesky mammals seeking to overthrow your cold-blooded (probably) dynasty?

Apologies for the headline, I couldn’t resist.
