***Kid E Cats meets Max and Ruby Explores in the Age of Dinosaurs*** (or simply ***Kid E Cats meets Max and Ruby: Dinosaurs* or KECMMAR Dinos**)is the fifth installment in *Kid E Cats meets Max and Ruby* series of PC games, released in 2019 for Windows. It is one of the few *Kid E Cats meets Max and Ruby* games that can be played on Windows 10. This is the software adaptation of the episode epilogue of The Museum

## Summary

The kids are missing three photos of prehistoric animals from their album. The kids travel millions of years back in time to the age of dinosaurs to take some new photos to compensate for the ones they lost.

At random, the player is given one of three different albums: Plant-Eating Dinosaurs (herbivores), Meat-Eating Dinosaurs (carnivores), and Reptiles That Aren't Dinosaurs (prehistoric reptiles besides dinosaurs hence the album name). Each album once given has clues on each page to identify the dinosaur and the exact location. Once the photo of the correct dinosaur is taken, the player will move on to keep searching for more dinosaurs to photograph. Once the album is completed, Ruby gives the user a mask of a prehistoric animal to print and cut out. The mask (of a prehistoric animal) is dependent with what album was selected (Tyrannosaurus Rex for "Meat Eating Dinosaurs", Brachiosaurus for "Plant Eating Dinosaurs", and Pterodactylus for "Reptiles That Aren't Dinosaurs").

## Eras

### Now

The present time setting. This is also when the apartment is visited. The only way back to this era is to click on the red lever next to the Time Machine. Ironically, the red lever can even be used when the player is already in the Now era, however it's not necessary to do so due to the player might wanting to progress through the story.

### Triassic Period

Set 220M years before the present, this is the earliest era of dinosaurs. The two locations are in Arizona. The Bus takes the form of *Coelophysis*.

### Jurassic Period

Set 150M years before the present, this is the middle era of dinosaurs. This is the only era which has three locations instead of two (that being Colorado, and Tethys Sea) and the only era with an underwater location. The Bus takes on the form of *Stegosaurus*.

### Cretaceous Period

Set 70M years before the present, this is the late era of dinosaurs before they faced extinction. The two locations are in Montana and Mongolia. The Bus takes on the form of *Pteranodon*.

### In the Apartment

* **Cookie**: Some animals are carnivores. Carnivores are animals that eat meat
* **Ruby**: Many animals are herbivores like this rabbit. That means they mainly eat plants, like grass, leaves or fruits
* **Max**: Did someone say dinos? I'd love to draw a real life dino!
* **Candy**: I'm keeping a lookout for dinosaurs
* **Cousin Alexander**: The word "dinosaur" means "terrible lizard" But I don't see what's so terrible about them
* **Lucy**: Are dinosaurs still alive? Some scientists think birds are dinosaurs. So, in a certain way, dinosaurs are still with us
* **Bagel**: Fossils have been found in every part of the world - even Antarctica.
* **Pudding**: That's where North America used to be, 220 million years ago, That's where South America was, 220 million years ago That's where Africa was, 220 million years ago, That's where Europe was, 220 million years ago, That's where Asia was, 220 million years ago, That's where Australia used to be, 220 million years ago, That's where Antarctica used to be, 220 million years ago, This is the earth looked like in the late Jurassic period, 150 million years ago, That's where North America used to be, 150 million years ago, That's where South America was, 150 million years ago, That's where Africa was, 150 million years ago. Look closely and you'll see a Kentrosaurus, That's where Europe was, 150 million years ago, That's where Asia was, 150 million years ago, That's where Australia used to be, 150 million years ago, That's where Antarctica used to be, 150 million years ago, This is the earth looked like in the late Cretaceous period, 70 million years ago, That's where North America used to be, 70 million years ago, That's where South America used to be, 70 million years ago That's where Africa used to be, 70 million years ago, That's where Europe was, 70 million years ago, That's where Asia was, 70 million years ago, That's where Australia used to be, 70 million years ago, That's where Antarctica used to be, 70 million years ago, This is what the earth look like today. North and South America are still moving away from Europe and Africa. The Atlantic Ocean is slowly getting bigger. while the Pacific is shrinking just a little bit each year, That's the continent of North America, That's the continent of South America, That's the continent of Africa, That's the continent of Europe, That's the continent of Asia, That's the continent of Australia, That's the continent of Antarctica. For Map-o-Matic this is Pudding saying I hope you'll back soon
* **Ruby**: Time to time travel, Now highlighting the Triassic Period

### Triassic Arizona

* **Ruby**: And we're off! To Triassic Arizona, 220 million years ago before the present!
* **Pudding**: Triassic Arizona, 220 million years back in time please keep your eyes peeled for Rioarribasaurus, rhynchosaurus and other exotic reptiles. Watch your step please , stand clear of the closing doors, Triassic dinosaurs are small. But I'd rather study them at the museum.
* **Cookie**: The Rioarribasaurus dinosaur was small--but it was speedy! According to my research phytosaurs and crocodiles are related, They sure look alike
* **Pudding**: I'd hate to go to a family picnic.
* **Cookie**: I should do some research on this dicynodont. Or maybe not--look at those fangs!!
* **Max**: It's a good thing that rhynchosaur can't come near my mom's plants!
* **Cookie**: Find out what you know about dinosaur sizes --- and check out Riorribasaurus while you're there

### Dino Sizer

* **Max**: Bigger than a breadbox? Smaller than an elephant? Dinos came in all shapes and sizes. Your job here is to match
