The ESRB rated the game as Teen. Press Copies of the english version were made and given out. A english version dated 3. October 2003, was leaked to the public in September 2021.[2]
Story[]
In 1910, a remote area in the Amazon rainforest is found to contain dinosaurs surviving from millions of years in the past. And since the game takes place in a less enlightened age than our current one, our heroes of course set forth to capture as many great lizards as possible and haul them back home for the amusement of the masses.
The player must use humane means to bring them down, which requires more finesse than simply offing them outright. First, it's necessary to track the lizards by their various leavings, and then formulate the proper anesthetic to knock them out.
