A quirky pinball game starring dinosaurs, notable mostly as an early Genesis pinball cart.
Dino Land is a pinball game from Wolf Team, published by Wolf Team and Renovation Products. It came out in Japan on 2 August 1991 and in North America in September 1991, and it was the first pinball video game released for the Genesis.
Mean Machines found the graphics a bit fuzzy but called it a jolly game with different tables and sub-screens to battle through.

“Dinoland is the Megadrive’s only other pinball game, and to be brutally frank, it's a bit sad.”
“Devil Crash on a diet. Gone are the complex, atmospheric graphics and pounding sound. While poor scrolling and simple gameplay háve been added - give it a miss.”

Dino Land is the first pinball game released for the Genesis.
MegaTech criticized the ball physics as jerky and unrealistic and pointed pinball fans to Devil's Crush as miles better.
Console XS recommended avoiding it because of poor scrolling and simple gameplay.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle. The Japanese cart usually costs a bit less than the US one when loose but more when complete, and its cartridge has a different shape that does not fit a Western console without an adapter.
