and the level will need to be repeated. The levels get progressively harder with more snakes and spiders, and fewer logs. Level 9 is the final level; completing this level just re-loads level 9 again. The top level requires the player to build two fires, instead of one, and the bonus for rescuing all of the eggs and hatchling Dinos is raised from ten to fifty points. The sound effects are different for level 9 as well. Time Master Tim starts with three lives, but if the player attains a sufficient score (approximately 400, the exact score is unknown), they will receive a fourth bonus life. Reception Softline stated that Dino Eggs had the same "unmistakable style" as David Schroeder's Crisis Mountain. The magazine called it "a rich game [with] excruciating pleasures", and concluded that Dino Eggs "is just a thumpingly good game and deserves to be a big hit". Ahoy! stated that Dino Eggs is, despite its "pretty tired and familiar" genre, "well-dressed and eager to please" with "first-rate action and a touch of humor". Legacy An independently produced remake by Eric Ferrot, Dino Legs, saw a limited release in 2011. Subsequently, Ferrot and original Dino Eggs author David Schroeder collaborated on a full-featured revival of the game entitled Dino Eggs: Rebirth. This version adds new types of boulders, fires, eggs, baby dinos, as well as puzzles, achievements, and an extended story in which Time Master Tim plays alongside his daughter Tamara.
