Dyna Gear (often also interpreted as Dyna Gears) is a surprisingly fun, fast-paced side-scrolling action game developed by Sammy and Scarab in 1993. It looks great like an Arcade game should with very vibrant colors, large characters, lots of explosions and effects, and loads of action, but it feels like a console action game with a general story, health instead of one-hit deaths, small character dialogues, multiple paths through stages, many secret item stashes and easter eggs, and supporting characters. There is a time limit, but it never really poses a threat. You can choose from two characters, Roger and Wolf, who are out to stop a ruthless intergalactic menace named "Gustaf", who has traveled 65 million years into the past and created an army of aggressive combat dinosaurs and brain-washed tribal warriors. If he isn't stopped, he could do much worse.

In the game, you can pick up several point items, health items, and weapons (sword, arrow, axe, etc.) as you face a variety of enemies and tricky obstacles. When weapons are picked up, they have a temporary auto-fire trait which, in certain situations, can be used to bumrush through levels of impressive speed-runs. Outside of that, you sometimes get temporary helpers to fight with you and you can roll / double jump to negate damage if timed correctly. The game is also two-player co-op and both Roger and Wolf have slightly different characteristics. This is a video of the first two levels.
