About this game
Players take on the role of Hashimoto, a studious human boy who gets transformed into a dinosaur by one of the kings of the realm of the undead.
Now it's up to the Hashimoto-Zaurus to travel through time, collect swords from the other kings which are needed to break the curse put on him, and also defeat the king who caused all this trouble in the first place.

The game takes place throughout six stages.
The majority of the gameplay involves platforming action.
Hashimoto is equipped with boomerangs that he can throw at his enemies to dispatch them.
Hashimoto can also equip armor by collecting the super shield power-up.
This allows him to throw more boomerangs at a faster pace.
Sometimes Hashimoto will enter his flying time capsule and then the game will turn into a scrolling shoot-'em-up.
Gameplay will occasionally be interrupted in order to give the player a quiz question.
If the player chooses the correct answer, the player will earn points which are added to their overall score.
The game features two difficulty levels.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Pocket Zaurus for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pocket Zaurus to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1987.
