Dino Riki NES is a vertically scrolling shooter developed and published by Hudson Soft. The Adventures of Dino Riki came out in North America in October 1989. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The game first appeared in Japan in early 1987 as Shin Jinrui: The New Type. Hudson released it there under the Rix Soft label, which it set up with Ricoh to get around Nintendo's limit of five games per year. Hudson then published the game itself in North America.
Each stage scrolls vertically as Riki moves forward. He starts out throwing rocks. Weapon upgrades turn them into stone axes, then boomerangs, then torches, and each step improves range and spread. Wings are another power-up, and they let Riki fly.
A hidden item tile turns Riki into Macho Riki, who fires powerful projections of himself. Getting hit drops your speed and weapon down one level. Dying removes all power-ups and sends you back to a checkpoint.
Since each hit takes away one weapon level, playing carefully keeps the stronger weapons longer. The Adventures of Dino Riki NES cartridge sold in North America is the Hudson Soft release, and fans of Dino Riki Hudson Soft games may also enjoy Master Higgins in Adventure Island.

Caveman, Dinosaurs, and Video games, I’m in!!
If you enjoy throwing rocks at dinosaurs and playing as an adolescent caveman, then The Adventures of Dino Riki is the perfect game for you. This game is a vertical scrolling platformer and it is a masterpiece, it blends auto scrolling and platforming into one great game. You play as Dino Riki and you must defeat several dinosaur bosses with a plethora of projectiles…mostly rocks to move on to the next level, sounds easy right, but it’s not. This game is challenging and entertaing. So, if you enjoy spending countless hours in front of you TV and playing retro games then you should pick this gem up.

Used Adventures of Dino Riki
Nintendo cartridge came in condition specified and fully functional. I had never played this game before and found it to be challenging, frustrating, and fun. Vertical scroller, action game.
