Unfortunately, it brings up a menu with two choices, and neither of them work. On another green monitor, Dino Video would be available, where you could “Watch the latest DinoSquad shows and video clips online”. Unfortunately, of the characters listed here, only Caruso and Victor have their original info, which will be displayed first without comment below. Did you know that it’s Rodger, not Roger? I didn’t. Right by the door, there is a green monitor that offers you the ability to “Get the 411 on the DinoSquad, their vehicles and weapons.” Unfortunately, they won’t be quite able to deliver. The interactive elements of the room are either mini-games or character/story info sheets, so I’ll go through them one by one, starting with the character/story info. Also, it’s important to note that I think the tube at the top of the window is ooze, which is a delightful touch. This is a running theme, so I’ll only show the emptiness once. When I try to register, there’s the outline of the Dino Squad logo, but no site content shows up besides that. On trying to click on any of the games, a log-in option comes up – you need to log in to play the minigames, which means that I can’t play any of them, because it’s impossible to make an account now (I tried). There was an ability to make accounts through the site, and gain “Ooze Power” through, presumably, doing well on the mini-games, some bones (?), and a badge system that, when clicked, doesn’t do anything.įrom left to right, the dino silhouettes are: Buzz, Caruso, Fiona, Max, Roger, and…Moynihan? Veloci? It’s impossible to know, but it’s presumably Veloci, because Moynihan wasn’t revealed to be a raptor until the final episode (or second to final episode? I’m a fake fan). Now, this is where it gets really interesting. On the left hand side, there is a Music Player, that goes through memorable tracks from the Dino Squad soundtrack, like “Dino Squad” (the main theme), “Transformation” (the transformation sequence song), and “BaBaBa!”, a song that I don’t remember ever being in the show, and sounds similar to the transformation theme, but acapella. This is actually a cube that you’re just in, and there are interactive elements in the room that, when you hover over them, they have special prompts that go to other areas of this flash site. This next part is hard to show, but I’ll do my best. When you enter the site, you’re greeted by this screen, alongside a stock alarm sound, and the Dino Squad theme. I have a few theories about this site, that I’ll get into when they’re relevant.įeel free to explore! I’ll be leaving my notes down below. The site I’m using is linked below, but there are several in the Wayback Machine that seem to work, although I haven’t noticed any differences yet. I can’t direct you in how to run Flash in 2021, but I wish you the best. Like everything in ‘08, this site uses Flash for pretty much everything it does (and PHP for everything else), which can make some things difficult, obviously. Hello, everyone! The Dino Squad website from early 2008 is accessible in the Wayback Machine, but as far as I’ve been looking, there isn’t a good post or guide to what’s actually in it.
