Personal review

In "Pocket Zaurus" you are a boy who gets transformed into a dinosaur and has to jump and run his way through several levels in different time zones to rescue a female. "Pocket Zaurus" is a standard platform game with ok graphics and varied levels for a 1987 game. As far is I know it was the second 2 Mbit cartridge for the Famicom ever released (Ganbare Goemon: Karakuri Douchuu being the first one). The game plays well enough, but there is nothing really outstanding or memorable about it.
