3D Dinosaur Adventure (styled as 3-D Dinosaur Adventure) is a 1993 educational interactive CD-ROM by Knowledge Adventure and released on DOS, Macintosh, and Windows 3.x.
It should not be confused with Dinosaur Adventure 3-D, also released by Knowledge Adventure in 1999, whose plot revolved around recovering dino-eggs from around Paleo Island.[1]

Gameplay[edit]
3D Dinosaur Adventure is stylised as a theme park, with various areas for the player to explore, including an encyclopedia, a quiz, and a virtual museum. They offer insight into how dinosaurs lived and evolved. Additionally, activities teach players how to use fossil photo records and illustrations for visual recognition of dinosaurs.
The title comes packaged with 3D glasses and has special areas that make use of them.
Development[edit]
As part of a co-publishing arrangement with Random House Inc. to develop multimedia titles on September 5, 1994, Random House also took over distribution-to-bookstores for current Knowledge Adventure titles such as 3D Dinosaur Adventure.[2] In July 5, 1995, Random House Children's Books entered into an agreement where they would handle distribution of all Knowledge Adventure software titles in the U.K. and Ireland, given the right to repackage, reprice, and readjust wherever necessary for each target market.[3] The game was uploaded to the ZOOM-Platform.com website in 2014 alongside 3D Body Adventure, Space Adventure, and Undersea Adventure.[4]
Reception[edit]
Critical reception[edit]
RetroJunk felt the game was quite innovative for its time.[5] Multimedia and Hypertext: The Internet and Beyond argued that the small Knowledge Adventure was able to produce a better game than Microsoft's Microsoft Dinosaurs.[6] The Educational Technology Handbook praised the game's animation sequences for bringing the experience to life in a way that student would remember.[7] PC Mag noted the high tech effects were limited,[8] though thought the title was a good reference tool.[9] Bustle deemed it little more than a glorified encyclopedia.[10]
Commercial performance[edit]
The game was the third best selling Macintosh product in the week ending Oct 11, 1997.[11]
Awards[edit]
- March 1994 – Electronic Entertainment Editors' Choice Awards: Best Edutainment Title (Honorable Mention)[12]
- 1994's Best Overall Education Program by the Software Publishers Association as part of its Excellence in Software Awards Program. [13]
- Top 100 CD-ROMs from PC Magazine 1994[9]

I don't know how to use the adventure mode srry I might have to delete this
I'm sorry ppl but unfortunately my daughter loves Dino's and she wanted this so she don't know how to use the adventure mode
Coolest Dino App!
My 4-year old son simply adores dinosaurs (as does his 20 month old brother), and has been anxiously awaiting the premier of WWD! This app has greatly enhanced our family's anticipation of the movie--which we will see in an hour. Can't wait!
The printed test target that generates a virtual reality Patchi is brilliant--and the ability to share photos to FB or email is awesome. The photos look like my son is playing with an elaborate jungle set--and Patchi is crawling on his shoulder.
The Extinct App Is Much Missed
This was my go-to for dinosaur information until it was not updated to operating system 11 and beyond. If you can still download it you will be pleased by the intriguing descriptions, and excellent illustrations. I hope that the Museum staff creates a new version so that it can be used by paleontologists of all ages now and in the future.
