shit this game was so cool-looking to a little nerd like me when it first came out. it didn't have the staying power of MK or Street Fighter though. it was cool that you could munch on the little humans running around.
i played it again on one of the midway arcade treasures comps and it sadly does not hold up. like, at all. cool premise though.

Characters
* Armadon: A ceratopsian dinosaur, and the God of Life, Armadon fights to defend Urth and prevent the dino-beasts utterly destroying it. His genetic makeup appears to be part Chasmosaurus and Ankylosaurus. The tail tip is a combination of the ankylosaurus tail club and a stegosaurus' thagomizer.
* Blizzard: Blizzard is one of two ape-beasts, the God of Good. A noble and heroic yeti-like beast, Blizzard wishes to undo the damage caused to Urth by both the meteor and the warring gods.
* Chaos: The second of the two ape-beasts, and the God of Decay, Chaos was formerly a scientist/witch doctor, transformed into his current state by accident. Chaos is the crudest of the dino-beasts, with moves like Fart of Fury and Power Puke. His Golden Shower fatality (where Chaos dissolves the flesh from his victim with a geyser of acidic urine) was deemed so disgusting that the game was pulled from the market and replaced with a version lacking this fatality.
* Diablo: Diablo is one of the two T-Rex dino-beasts, and God of Evil. This flame-spewing demonic dinosaur leads the evil dino-beasts and desires to transform Urth into a nightmarish hell.
* Sauron: The second of the two T-Rex dino-beasts and God of Hunger, Sauron's immortality only lasts whilst he devours human flesh, as he suffers from an insatiable appetite. In spite of this, he is one of the Virtuous Beasts and not evil. He shares his name with the Dark Lord Sauron
* Talon: Talon is based on Deinonychus; he is supposed to be the God of Survival. One of the good dino-beasts, Talon is the patriach of a huge family of raptors, fiercely protective, it is for their sake that he plunges into the war. Talon is the fastest character in the game and a fan favorite among some.
* Vertigo: Vertigo is a unique beast based on a King Cobra and a Sellosaurus, Goddess of Insanity. The only female dino-beast, the storyline of the game states that it was due to her being imprisoned in the moon that the dino-beasts were forced into suspended animation until the meteor struck.
