Designasaurus 2

Designasaurus 2 is an educational game that takes a subject guaranteed to attract children and combines it with simple interactive activities. Dinosaurs provide the theme, naturally, because apparently even prehistoric reptiles can be recruited to explain things about the world. The game focuses on learning through exploration and playful challenges rather than conventional lessons, making it more approachable than a textbook with pictures. Its interface and presentation are firmly rooted in early 1990s educational software, with bright graphics and straightforward interactions designed for younger players. The dinosaur setting gives the whole thing an appealing sense of fun, even when the educational material becomes the main attraction. It is not a game for players looking for complex strategy or twitch action, but that is missing the point. Designasaurus 2 is best viewed as a cheerful piece of educational software from a time when putting dinosaurs on the screen was considered a perfectly reasonable way to make learning more interesting.
