I always thought that those retro 8-bit inspired games like Super Mega Worm and The Incident really look great on the iPhone, but when either of the games came over to the iPad, the results weren’t that spectacular, graphics wise. I supposed that if one were to port the games over to a Mac the results would be even worse, as the screens are larger. But this doesn’t seem to deter Pixeljam Games from releasing a retro 8-bit inspired game titled Dino Run SE on the Mac App Store.
Seattle, Washington – Pixeljam Games, an independent games development team that creates retro styled arcade games, is pleased to announce the launch of the new version of their classic web-based dinosaur themed racing game, Dino Run SE, on the Mac App Store. The single / multiplayer game includes an abundance of new features with its release, including new game modes, new levels, and enhanced gameplay.
Players are invited to enter an immersive prehistoric world of pixels where they must race their dinosaurs to escape the inevitable pyroclastic doom wave of extinction. Control a speedy raptor across tar pits, crumbling hillsides and meteorite showers while gobbling up anything that gets in the way for energy.
Collect bones, eggs and other hidden items to unlock special features and collectibles to enhance and personalize your dino, including a huge assortment of colors and wearable hats, helmets and masks. Like the original Dino Run, players can choose to race their dinosaurs on their own in the deeep single player campaign, or play online with up to three other people in a variety of new multiplayer levels.

- Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later
- 22.4 MB

Dino Run SE 1.0 is currently $2.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the Mac App Store in the Games category.
