This is for the DinoComp page content (not the infobox).
DinoComp was an unranked [[minicomp]] held in 2000. The theme, of course, was dinosaurs. In announcing the comp, Cadre quoted [[Matthew Amster-Burton]] as having asked in 1996: "Are there any text games prominently featuring dinosaurs? If not, does anyone besides me think it would be cool?" Cadre went on: :Let's find out! In honor of Matthew's anniversary, February 29th, I am announcing Dino-Comp, an IF non-contest much like 1998's Chicken Comp, only with more dinosaurs and fewer chickens. What I'm looking for are very short IF games -- if you spend more than a handful of afternoons on this, you're missing the point -- which, like the quote above says, prominently feature dinosaurs. *How* the dinosaurs figure into the game is entirely up to you. ==Games== * ''[[d2d]]'' ([[Simon Lamont]]; [[Z-code]]). * ''[[Deep Brow Lifter]]'' ([[Neil deMause]]; [[TADS 2]]). * ''[[Dino Hunt]]'' ([[Admiral Jota]]; Z-code). * ''[[A Dino's Night Out]]'' ([[Aris Katsaris]]; Z-code). * ''[[Dinosaur Dinnertime!]]'' ([[David A.
