Adventures of Dino Riki is a Japanese platformer on NES with its prehistoric child progressing through eras. The cute art direction appeals but gameplay stays basic and difficulty uneven. Pleasant for 8 bit family platform fans, original in the evolution concept.

Collector interest

Adventures of Dino Riki is a vertical-scrolling shooter set in prehistory, distributed by Nintendo of America in 1989 after a Hudson Famicom release. The game remains very common and lightly valued, its loose cart around 12 euros, making it a title of limited collecting interest. Its desirability is confined to completists of the American NES library, the prehistoric concept and simple gameplay never building a lasting aura.
