Publisher: Atari
Release Date: 12/1/1993
Time to Shot Out Of Space: 37 Minutes*

Developer: Millenium Interactive
Publisher: Telegames
Release Date: 8/22/1994
Time to Never Having Seen A Football Game: 11 Minutes

-
Developer: Virgin Interactive
Publisher: Atari
Release Date: 11/28/1994
Time to Entering The Dragon: 20 Minutes

Developer: Flare II
Publisher: Atari
Release Date: 11/23/1993
Time to Killed By Odd-It: 17 Minutes*
---
Kind of crummy Horizontal 'Shmup that looks and feels ineptly made. Any attempts at personality generally fail. Nothing here to recommend for any reason.

**Titled Evolution: Dino Dudes on the Jaguar**
Developer: Imagitec Design
Publisher: Atari
Release Date: 12/1/1993
Time to More Like Dino DooDoo (heehee): 27 Minutes*
---
Port of the 1992 Amiga game. An abjectly miserable Puzzle game in the vein of the more successful Lemmings. It's an universally unpleasant experience.
