I was the lead designer on this game. Probably one of the happiest times of my life. Reading the comments really made me happy that I’d made a difference to so many kids. I wish we’d put a hidden team screen but we had no time in the end. Here’s to the team. Darren, Duncan, Ben I wish I could remember all your names but you know who you are. Shaun Adams

Because it's rare to thank someone for being a part of your childhood I'd like to take the time and give you a big fat thank you 😊 This along with Bill Nye on a Friday was the shit (in a good way) to a little kid 😂

What's even cooler is that I strongly believe this was an inspiration for Sagan Hawkes' fictional dinosaur horror game Escape Triassic Hall, which was the subject of a masterpiece of an unfiction film on his channel just recently.

If you complete the excavation minigame the dinasours come to life and roam the museum.

And you could randomly encounter them later, just roaming

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

That was the thing that terrified me. After bringing one dinosaur to life, for some reason I had a frightening vision that the moment I rounded the corner, that dinosaur would be there and eat me. Young me was a dumb dumb, but just goes to show how unintentionally scary this game was.

[@captofthecrunch1942]

I absolutely loved this game and thank god the algorithm showed me that I wasn't the only one today. I came to this game late. I was born in 2001 and probably picked this game up when I was maybe 6 years old. My grandparents lived in a town 45 minutes away but we were all very close so I would sleep over at their house maybe every other weekend. Since we were in the same county, many times I would take library books out of their branch and then return them at mine when they were due. One of them was a GIANT DK dinosaur encyclopedia. It was like the eyewitness one but bulking, on steroids, and he just ate 2 other eyewitness books. I got it out every time. Eventually I noticed there was a CD in the back of the book. We put it in the computer and it was this game. The time came to return the book, so the book (and CD) were returned. But to my little child brain's wonder, the game did not run off the CD, but it was installed thru the CD and did not require the disc to boot. So I played this game without end. I vividly remember one specific entrance into the arena having the T-Rex jumpscare roar at your face, so I avoided said entrance at all costs. One day I wasn't paying attention and entered thru that door. and man let me tell you. There weren't many more times in my childhood where I cried as hard and long as I did then.

[@birdcrossing]

ngl the idea of a modern game with an actual dinosaur roaming the halls trying to kill you would be pretty cool, and a rouglite element of delving deep underground to uncover bones i would buy that.

I used to have this game on my dad's pc and only played it once because that part with the close up view of the Tyrannosaurus skeleton scared me really badly. Since then I always thought I was just over reacting but seeing it again now as an adult with its freaky lighting and ambiance I can see why I found it so frightening as a small child.

[@J.DeLaPoer]

Massive nostalgia hearing that opening theme song. Also, I find it incredible that in less than 20yrs we went from these static-snapshot "3D" prerendered environments (which took the best SGi hardware of the era many hours to render each single frame!) to realtime, true-VR 3D games that look better and move at 100+fps. Of course we seem to have hit a huge plateau the last decade or so, but still.

[@MX-Vette]

I miss games like this being our first experience of a multimedia pc. Sat in the corner of the living room with the massive wooden computer desk with all the floppy/cd rom slots on the shelves, looking at that 'massive' 17" crt monitor your parents paid extra for, listening to the hard disk clacking away and the cd rom spinning really loudly in that big grey box of wonder. How much of a fanfare it was to dial into the internet and what adventures it will take you on. Now? Tiktok, facebook, youtube, phub. All on a 7 inch phone screen

[@HolyApplebutter]

I'm honestly really glad to have grown up on these games, and with little - if any - concept of the latger internet.

[@sexygirlmax2019]

I live in Arizona and there is (or was, idk if it closed down) a really badass dinosaur museum that my grandparents took me to several times with animatronics and models of dinosaurs hung from the ceiling like they're flying or you're underwater. There was a section where there was some real life caimans or some small crocodilian and jungle ambience, it was really cool.

[@asdfomfglol]

Apparently, everybody who played this during their childhood wanted to become a paleontologist (myself included). Jurassic Park was my fav movie.

[@drkinferno72]

[@АртёмРазанов-я6й]

I am from Russia, and as a child I loved encyclopedias and films about dinosaurs very much. I don't remember how I got the CD with this game, but I was very fascinated by it. Unfortunately, the disc is lost, and in a fit of nostalgia, I decided to find it on the Internet, I found out the name only with the help of this video. Now I have found the game file, I will try to install it on Windows 10, I hope it will work. As for the game itself, it goes through some puzzles, I just listened to lectures, but I did not understand what kind of elevator was in the central hall, above the place of the scanner. Thanks to the developers for the childhood!

I played the crap out of this when I was a kid. Loved every second of it. Great review sir.

[@BlaineCraner]

Stuff like this was amazing back in the day. I lived in the middle of nowhere and couldn't even afford visiting any kind of museum. So when my parents managed to somehow get a few encyclopedia presentations like these, I felt like I was on a journey or quest. I most fondly remember two. One dinosaur themed, and one space themed. The second one introduced me to the majesty of the universe and was one of the most majestic things I saw when I was a kid.

[@ShyGuyTravel]

Had a sudden flashback to this game from when I was about 6, that I thought was the coolest thing ever invented, spending hours getting sucked into the atmosphere, but couldn’t remember the name. I just searched “dinosaur fossil museum game from the 90s” and this is exactly that! The memory is as fresh as a daisy. I couldn’t quite figure out how to do the fossil game … Thanks for this nostalgia trip!

[@jasonmay5685]

I am so glad the algorithm brought me here. I haven't thought about this game in so long, but it made my childhood. I remember playing it around 2000 or so, and it scared me. The atmosphere was so dark and gritty for a kids' museum tour, and completing the fossil minigame and having random encounters with the dinosaurs as you roamed the halls was so exhilarating! It got me deep into paleontology to the point that my favorite book was an encyclopedia of prehistoric animals (it included dinosaurs, but also had animals from the Paleozoic and Cenozoic). Though ended up choosing a different STEM field as my major, I can only hope that future generations receive an experience that introduces them to scientific topics in a way that was as entertaining as Eyewitness.

[@Maring0418]

I played 3D Dinosaur Adventure in Swedish in the beginning of the noughties. The T-Rex comes to life sequence was truly horrifying haha. Watching it today at 25 still gives me the creeps.

Thanks for making this, Human!! As a child I absolutely loved everything DK put out. Being a kid, I took it for granted that they always produced so much awesome media of such exceptional quality aimed at children. As an adult, I can see the passion and care that went into making this. They really could’ve phoned it in, but they made something special instead. The volume of information and sheer number of unique animations tell me that these people really cared about what they were making. It’s been years, but immediately I was humming right along with that intro music like I heard it yesterday. Also, that Dino stationary was a pleasant surprise! I remember having tons of sheets of this in full color. I think DK must have sold it apart from the game, because I sure had a lot of it. Thanks for the wonderful video, I always drop whatever I’m doing to see a new upload from you!

Now after having this pop up in my recommended videos I can experience it by proxy all these years later, thanks mate.

[@hithere5039]

Funnily enough, this game never made me feel scared or even a little bit uneasy as a small child. I was obsessed with it, and played it over and over, convinced that the game was filled with so much hidden depth and had so many secrets to discover. I just did not believe what you saw on the surface was the entire game! I was like, there HAS to be something more. I guess not. Never did find any secrets. :(

[@Zeder95]

This game had such an adventurous exciting feeling back then as a kid. I only had very vague memories of it but seeing it again now the vivid memories come back. Some of the dinosaur pictures (I specifically remember the Giganotosaurus picture) were the same as in a dinosaur book I remember reading a LOT as a kid and taking a lot of my dinosaur knowledge from. There was also a second CD where you could walk around in various 3D landscapes with dinosaurs. That intro also gave me a nostalgia flash with the music.

[@xDinomanx]

This game was a huge part of my childhood. I absolutely loved it. Being able to put several dinosaurs back together and resurrect them back to life was so much fun.

[@LadyRegalli]

Honestly I don’t remember having all that much trouble with the excavation sequences as a kid, but if I tracked it down as an adult and got it running I suspect it’d be a different story. Nostalgia comes for us all. (Then again Heterodontosaurus could be particularly tricky. Arm bones and teeth.) Since you didn’t resurrect one of the dinos to demonstrate beyond that joking Dark Souls jumpscare, I’ll add that once you did manage it they would in fact roam around the museum and you could sometimes see a cutscene of one walking by when you entered a particular room. They’d leave you alone, but it always startled me even when I got a bit older and noticed they only appeared in specific spots. Dilophosaurus in particular spooked me, as I recall. But yeah, even with (or because of) the slightly ominous vibes of the museum, it was one of my favorite games for a long time. I appreciate your observations about how cool it was as a kid, because that was my experience as well. I would definitely go for a remake in VR with the paleontology updated - as one commenter said, the field has definitely moved on in the decades since, but you can’t fault DK for not knowing the future - and from what I recall it was pretty up-to-date with its research for 1996. (Actually, what would be really cool would be a release that updates all the science and such but keeps the mood and as many of the original exhibits and interactive bits as possible, albeit updated so that Iguanodon hand is now a breakdown of how its fingers form a hoof or the coelurosaurs all sporting feathers, and then there’s a second mode that’s the original in all its 5.2 MB of glory, itself turned into an exhibit in how our understanding has changed in this time.)

I remember always going to my local library when I was around 6 - 7 (between 2005 - 2006) and getting the same Dinosaur (or Prehistoric) encyclopedia book that came packaged with DK Dinosaur Hunter, and playing it constantly. I can't remember which one it was right now, but it was one of my favorite PC-Rom games growing up. Along with the Eyewitness Dinosaur episode from the TV Series (as well as the other Dinosaur media I watched and played with growing up), it's stuff like this that made me want to learn more about Dinosaurs and paleontology. (Also, DK Dinosaur Hunter, 3-D Dinosaur Adventure and Dinosaur Adventure 3-D, were always my go-to PC Dinosaur games. Also, It would be cool to get a digital remaster of DK Dinosaur Hunter and the other DK Multi-Media games, in the same vein as Knowledge Adventure's catalogue on Zoom-Platform. Though I imagine there's site that could easily emulate them).

This brought back so many good memories, I played on my parent's lap since I was too scared when the dinosaur came running.

One part that I do remember making me jump slightly was going into World of Dinosaurs and seeing the TRex display actually move and look down at you whilr roaring. God this brings me back...

I am falling through time and rediscovering my will to live whenever I hear Eye Witness music. It's like I'm 6 yro and studying to be an archeologist again.

I wanted to play this so much as a kid, but it just didn't work on my PC. But I have such fond memories of the books and show. That TV intro song is still so amazing 12:10 This is what I had instead! 3D Dinosaur Adventure! The Doom clone game it had terrified me as a kid.

Great to know where that track comes from! I had grown up with the 3d adventure from 93, never knew of the first feature. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Very nice vid. I do need to check this out, if I can get my DOS box to work. This game is very exactly "MYST but dinosaurs" and I am absolutely smitten with the combination and the execution. 🥰

It's kind of astonishing now to look back and see how unnerving this game's atmosphere was, but I loved it so much that I don't think I ever even noticed as a kid. Microfolie's encyclopedia-games on prehistoric life (originally in French) were also great -- "The Ocean of Origins" was my favorite -- but much harder to find on the web. I wonder how many people went into life sciences thanks to these games? I sure did.

Always great to see an upload from you, looking forward to your next one
