    I remember reading news whenever I could about dinosaur planet. It was a game about dinosaurs built by rare on the same engine used by Ocarina of Time and would likely feature expansion pack support. That was like a dream team setup to me back then.

    The conversion to starfox killed it for me because I never got into those.

    Ah yes, the game that became Starfox adventures where he’s on foot the whole time. As the name implies, I was hoping for some space combat!

    Uh. I was aware of Dinosaur Planet and how Nintendo had Rare rework it into a Star Fox game, but I had no idea that an almost complete beta version of it had been found.

    It’s lacking the ending and it was already on the way to starfoxization though it seems.

    For anyone wondering what this is, Dinosaur Planet is a prototype from Rare for the N64. The game was cancelled and reworked as Starfox Adventures for Gamecube.
