I bet you Wardrox would buy this game at a high price. Although he might mark it down for lack of "U" in "color".
I want my goddamn 3:57 minutes back, Dale! I'm glad the worst thing I played on the nes was Bible Adventures and not this paperweight.
Holy Crap! Someone made a video of this game and put it on YouTube! EPIC!!

Color-A-Dinosaur? That's not even a game! What victim of an escaped brain designs this stuff?
...it might as well have been a recent Nintendo title.

Oh how, I long for the days of yore, back when the Nintendo Seal of Quality actually meant something.
Wait a sec...
Wait a sec...
That tune wasn't so bad. Man, I hope they make a sequel though. I can't wait for Color 2 Dinosaurs, or Color a Dinosaur in a Hat. And if they come out with Color an Archosaur, I'm going to bust a nut.
Why do I feel that Tommy Tallarico googles his own name several times per day, looking for comment/messageboards he can drop his face into?
While I very much appreciate his contributions to the industry (Pocket-rocket stage from EWJ!) I still cannot see his face without getting angry. His game reviews on Judgement Day were absolutely awful. He'd routinely rate down games based on genre alone. "This game is turn-based. Haven't we seen enough of turn-based games? I give it a .2 out of 10" Great musician, terrible person.
I met Tommy Tallarico after the Video Games Live! show in Newark, NJ. I had him sign my Earthworm Jim 2 SNES cart and then told him how his Color-a-Dinosaur soundtrack really touched my heart. He got a kick out of that.
I think Tommy's music works for the game. Actually, the only interesting parts of that game were with Tommy's music. Now here is what I thought watching the game: If the dinosaurs looked like that I can see why they went extinct. Looks like the perfect game for the regular ectasy inducer. Maybe some techno music would go great with the changing backgrounds. This game makes me want to burn down a warehouse...oh waite some Korean kid already did that.
...I think I liked this game as a kid.
Or maybe I'm thinking of a game that was similar but on PC.
Kids will play almost anything.

@wittynickname and glandseck: So because I work in the industry I'm not allowed to be a part of the gaming community or read gaming websites?
If I don't talk to people I'm a stuck up egotiscal jerk. If I comment to people I'm a stuck up egotiscal jerk.
Gotcha. Thanks. Just wanted to clarify.
Here are my thoughts... people who make comments about people they don't know... are stuck up egotiscal jerks.
Internets FTW!

My wife and I had a chance to speak with Tommy years ago, well before I was associated in any way with the games industry (besides playing 'em). We were surprised by how friendly and approachable he was; no ego or any of that stuff. He's right, it's easy to talk about someone when you don't know them, but you should really cut him some slack. Plus, him working on this dino coloring game alone and surviving to tell the tale should give him plenty of cred.
Wow, the development cycle sure was different in that time. I wonder if it is not too different from today's shovelware?
My comment has been bastardized well beyond the point therein, which has nothing at all with the industry or whether you or I or anyone else works in it.
I simply find it telling of a person's character that they (appear to) search their own name just in case there's something new to pop in and comment on. The point remains, regardless whether I'm discussing a composer or a meter maid.
As for egotism or other such negative qualities, references to each were offered by comments outside my own. Take from that what you will.

@wittynickname Just for your own peace of mind, Tommy didn't google/search his name. I have been a long time lurker of Dtoid and when I saw the post by Dale, I sent him the link.
Also, I might throw out there that - if you were in the position of a public figure in any industry - you too, may like to know when people are writing about you.
