Adventures of Dino Riki

Adventures of Dino Riki, known in Japan as Shin Jinrui: The New Type (新人類; lit. "New Humans"), is a scrolling shooter video game developed by Hudson Soft for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The player takes on the role of the titular Dino Riki in a prehistoric setting, tasked with completing a series of vertically-scrolling stages while contending with various enemies, platforming sections, and bosses. Power-ups that improve the player's weapons or mobility can be uncovered by hitting boulders scattered about each stage. Japanese magazines previewed it as an action game with unique mechanics before it was converted into a scrolling shooter just prior to launch.
