A little-known cooperative beat'em up with mercenary dinosaurs. Improvable handling, zany atmosphere.

Is Tom Mason's Dinosaurs for Hire still worth playing in 2026?
A top-down action game drawn from the comic, Tom Mason's Dinosaurs for Hire has heavily armed mercenary dinosaurs fight criminals, in a deluge of shooting and offbeat humor. The wacky concept and the snappy two-player action give a certain brawly pleasure, but the plain presentation and repetition place it in the average. The tone never takes itself seriously. A curiosity for fans of unbridled retro run-and-gun and the curious about adaptations of obscure comics.
