Story:Carnivores is a first person shooting video game produced by Action Forms and released by WizardWorks Software in 1998. It is the first video game in the Carnivores series.
The player takes the role of a DinoHunt customer. At the start of a new game, the player must register a new hunter or continue with a saved hunter. The point of the game is hunting dinosaurs to get trophies and accumulate score. Each dinosaur represents a set number of points. A novice hunter starts with zero points, when his points increase he'll be able to hunt new dinosaurs on additional terrains with more powerful weapons. If the player is killed by a dinosaur, all points accumulated on that specific hunt are forfeited. The player must be picked up by DinoHunt to keep the points he earned.
A hunter will become Advanced after earning 100 points, and Expert with 300. To begin a hunt, the player must choose the location, the weapon, the dinosaur and some hunting accessories which help the player but will deduct the score during that hunt. Each location is unique, with varying difficulties and terrain. The new hunter will be given three areas, with two more added for the Advanced hunter and a final area for the Expert hunter, for a total of six locations. Level locations include jungles, and deserts accompanied by pyramids and an ancient temple.
Next, the player must choose a dinosaur to hunt. A new hunter will be given the choice of four dinosaurs: Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Allosaurus. An Advanced hunter gains the ability to hunt the Triceratops and the Velociraptor. Only an Expert hunter can hunt the Tyrannosaurus rex. Harmless creatures such as Moschops, Gallimimus and Dimorphodon are present in each level. They are worth zero points and can be killed with a single shot.
The player must also choose a weapon, which can be set for kill or tranquilize for additional points. A beginning hunter can only use a shotgun or a crossbow. A sniper rifle is unlocked upon becoming an Advanced hunter. First time hunters can use the Observation Mode to familiarize themselves with dinosaur behavior and different terrain.Show more

This game is one of the first games I ever played. I played it at my godfather's house (he had a computer). Later in life my best friend and I spend many hours on this game killing and getting killed by dino's. Game was vary fun and will always hold a special place in his and my hearts.
When I was a boy I was deathly afraid of the T. rex in this game. It would give me nightmares. So my family sat me down at the computer and guided me through killing one and cheering for me when I finally bagged one! One of my most cherished gaming memories.
A childhood favorite, even if it took me quite sometime to muster the courage for hunting the T-Rex. I played it extensively and can still recall the islands to this day. Have found nothing quite like the experience since.
It's probably never going to happen, Tadem will be outraged if it did, but I'm voting for it anyway. After all, dinosaur games are a rare as it is and ones where you can HUNT them are even more so. Carnivores was the pioneer of hunting games, even Deer hunter wasn't anywhere near as great as this was.
Had this game and it was very difficult to hunt the T-Rex with the PC I had back in the day. After a lot of trial and error, I finally got it by shooting it in the eye. It took me weeks, if not a month to figure that out. Once I had it (by practicing a lot of times) I was able to have my pyramid full of T-Rex's. Played a lot this game. It probably won't hold in today's standard, but it was a solid game low-budget game.
