Dino Pets takes the life development style typified by games like Catz and Dogz and applies it to lovable baby versions of the world's most prominent prehistoric reptiles. Players choose from 101 different dinosaurs, including the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then join the creatures for a variety of different activities, from playing soccer to chasing radio-controlled cars. Gamers can teach their pets different skills, such as jumping, flying, and dancing, then enter them in prehistoric pet shows to earn money for new toys, furniture, and food.
