About the game

Sethron has kidnapped your young friends and taken them to his castle for experiments. Your dinosaur sets out to rescue them, but the way to the castle is filled with obstacles and creatures who Sethron has turned to the path of evil.

We're Back is a very traditional platform game where you run and jump to get to the end of the stage. There are a total of 4 "worlds", each with 3 stages and a final boss stage. The game play is fast paced, with slides and skateboards passages for added speed. You can find stones and bowling balls to throw at the enemies. There are also power-ups to replenish health, obtain extra lives and gain invincibility.

The North American version is nominally based on the 1993 film We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story , but its plot only bears the loosest connection to its source material. It actually originated as Baby T-Rex , an original game with its own plot. This original version was released in German-speaking countries, while several alternate reskinned versions were released in other territories. Aside from We're Back , its other alternate versions are Bamse (Sweden), based on the Swedish cartoon character; and Agro Soar (Australia), based on the Australian television character Agro. In addition, an unreleased UK version would have been titled Edd the Duck and would have featured the CBBC puppet character. Only vital elements such as the main character sprites and setting were changed; the games are otherwise identical. Even the plot is largely unchanged, with the villain Sethron and his evil plot shoehorned into whatever setting each version of the game uses.
