[RRS] Dino Wars
 

I am trying to identify this old dinosaur fighting PC game. I will try to provide as much detail as I can. I was around age 4-7 when I saw it so I can't recall a lot of the technical info.

Gameplay:
This is your typical PC fighting game with 1 or 2 player modes (player vs player, player vs AI). Players choose can pick one of several dinosaur species (i.e. T-rex, triceratops, ... etc.) as their fighter. Game perspective is purely side view, 2D plane of motion.

A defining feature is that when a player loses a match, his dinosaur would shrink into a small black shadow/silhouette. This is probably the most useful detail I can give.

Dates:
Around 1989-1992. The game could possibly be released earlier but it's no newer than 1992.

Operating System:
DOS. Possibly Windows 3.1 but unlikely.

Computer:
IBM compatible PC.

Graphics:
Can't remember too much of the technical details. It was likely either 16 colour EGA or 256 colour VGA.

Thanks for taking the time to help!

First, an obvious choice, which doesn't fit in with the year of 1992 though. It was made in 1995. Any chance the game you're searching would be Primal Rage?

...or Dino Wars from 1990.

That's it. I'm surprised how obvious the title seems in hindsight. I swear I've googled similar terms but didn't find it. Thanks again everyone!
