find replacements. There are seven different places, including "Triassic Arizona", "Triassic Argentina", "Jurassic Colorado", "Jurassic Tethys Sea", "Jurassic Tanzania", "Cretaceous Alberta", and "Cretaceous Mongolia". Like in the book adaptation, the software version shows all the time periods. When all three photos are found, in the end, the Friz awards the player with a mask of a prehistoric animal to print and cut out. This game in the original software series is loosely the software adaptation of The Magic School Bus In the Time of the Dinosaurs from the book series (and The Magic School Bus The Busasaurus; the cartoon version of said book). Unlike in the two adaptations (the book and TV adaptation) where the Bus transforms into a time machine, the Bus in the software adaptation does not transform into a time machine. In this version, the Bus instead transforms into three different prehistoric animals (one for each of the time periods). The prehistoric animals (prehistoric reptiles) it transforms into are Coelophysis (for the Triassic Period), Stegosaurus (for the Jurassic Period), and Pteranodon (for the Cretaceous Period). The cover however shows the bus in form of a time machine (as depicted/compared to the other two adaptations; book and episode). But in this version (despite the cover for the software), the Bus is animal mecha and transforms into two dinosaurs and one pterosaur (Coelophysis, Stegosaurus, and Pteranodon). However, compared to the TV adaptation (The Busasaurus), in The Busasaurus, the Bus was also animal mecha. Because since the other version (the TV adaptation) only showed the Cretaceous period, the Bus transformed into two prehistoric animals. The dinosaurs it turned into were a Parasaurolophus and Triceratops (and those dinosaurs both lived in the Cretaceous). This game has very elaborate CGI forms for the bus. Although the classroom location song has changed in the following games, the game's classroom location song is the same as The Magic School Bus Explores Inside the Earth, but had added more rhythm in between. The classroom theme song in this game was re-used in the following game, The Magic School Bus Explores the Rainforest. This game (The Magic School Bus Explores in the Age of Dinosaurs) is also the last game in the original software which is based with any books from the book series. In the next game after this one (The Magic School Bus Explores the Rainforest), this game is based with the TV episode
