Color a Dinosaur
Color a Dinosaur is an electronic coloring book video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Summary
In the game, the player colors various dinosaurs by using the provided dinosaur images and palettes. Players can either color using the free form mode or in the automatic mode where they only have to choose a color.[5] The basic colors are either brightly colored patterns or limited variations on pink or red; giving the game a childish feel to it. An extra set of patterns can be reached by pressing the Select button.[6]
This game is intended for younger audiences as there are no sophisticated features such as animation, minigames, etc. Tommy Tallarico created the music for this game.[7]
Reception
In the September 1997, Nintendo Power had 12 staff members vote in a list for the top 100 games of all time.[8] This list also included a 10 worst games of all time list voted by the staff, which placed Color a Dinosaur at 10th worst place on their list.[9] The article described the game as Mario Paint "without anything fun in it" and that "even the producer of the game (Seth, wherever you are) would roll his eyes when reminded of this prehistoric patsy."[9]

The sound driver for the NES was horrid!! Before the G.E.M.S. tool for the Sega Genesis you pretty much had to be a computer programmer in order to do sound for video games, especially the NES.!!
