Jurassic Boy 2 is a game released for the NES by Sachen (a Taiwanese unlicensed game company also known as Thin Chen Enterprise) in 1994 and later ported to Game Boy Color. You control a pink dinosaur named Chen who stops a mad scientist, Dr. Crachi, from kidnapping his family and obtaining a "gene" that is needed in the future to make complete dinosaurs. The gameplay and level design is very obviously based on Sonic the Hedgehog.

The NES version has normal, Sonic-like game physics, while the Game Boy version has higher jumping and much faster movement. There are seven levels and only bosses in the Game Boy version. Surprisingly, the NES version seems to control much better than the well known pirate, Somari. The main character, Chen, cannot roll along the ground like Sonic, making the game a little more difficult. The Game Boy version seems to be able to work on the original Game Boy, but at a much slower speed, and due to the cartridge's design, it doesn't seem to fit inside the original Game Boy or Game Boy Pocket. It was released in Taiwan in 1994, and is quite rare today.

Story

(Taken from nescapades.com)


In the year 2193, "Dinosaurs" become a popular subject again. Scientists all work to try and revive the dinosaurs.

Nevertheless, they still lack a special gene. This causes all the dinosaurs they cultivate to be incomplete.

Many countries then intend to buy dinosaurian fossils at high prices in order to get the gene. But it seems that it's not so easy.

No one can do anything to resolve this problem until Dr. Crachi invents a "Time Space" machine in the year 2197.
