Okay, here is an English summary of the storyline for the arcade game Dinosaur Century (恐竜世纪 Kyōryū Seiki):
Dinosaur Century (街機恐竜世纪)
- Setting: The game is set in a post-apocalyptic future Earth, sometime in the year 2194.
- The Conflict: Humanity has suffered a devastating nuclear war, which wiped out most of the population. The survivors now live in scattered, fortified shelters. However, these remnants of civilization are constantly under threat from hordes of giant, mutated dinosaurs that have emerged or been mutated due to the war's aftermath. These dinosaurs are driven by instinct and often attack human settlements.
- The Player's Role: The player takes control of a powerful humanoid combat vehicle, often referred to as a "Power Suit" or "War Machine." This vehicle is equipped with various weapons and allows the player to venture out from the safety of the shelters to explore the ruined world.
- The Goal: The primary objective is to explore the devastated landscapes, clear paths through dinosaur-infested areas, and often reach specific targets or points of interest. This might involve:
- Rescuing stranded survivors.
- Destroying enemy bases or command centers.
- Collecting resources.
- Simply surviving waves of attacking dinosaurs.
- Gameplay Style: Dinosaur Century is primarily an action game played from a top-down perspective (though some versions might have slight variations). The player must use the vehicle's weapons to fight off numerous dinosaur enemies, each with different behaviors and attack patterns. Resource management (like fuel or ammunition) is often a key aspect.
- Overall Tone: The game presents a bleak, survival-horror atmosphere mixed with classic arcade action. It combines the appeal of giant monster movies with the excitement of traversing a post-apocalyptic landscape in a high-powered machine.
In essence, Dinosaur Century is about a lone survivor (or a small resistance force) using a powerful vehicle to fight for survival against monstrous dinosaurs in a war-torn future world.
