HunchBluntley: Well, the re-released version of Turok's here...but I'm not sure if that's what you mean.

Fran67: Thank you, but I had in mind something like a hunting game.
Hunting dinosaurs? Not cool, not cool at all. Dinosaurs were hunted down to extinction by the cavemen, you know.

What next, whale and panda hunting simulators?!? Sure, let's hunt down hippies and punk rockers too!

eksasol: Also forgot to mention, Carnivores 2. Not realistic, but still fun.
Yes! I remember that game. It really was fun.

park_84: I remember some dinosaurs or dino-like creatures in the Tomb Raider and Unreal series.

There's also No Man's Sky... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5jWtz3rzco
Yes, I've heard it's great, but I'll wait for the price to drop. Thanks.

Turok!!!

Strangely, dinosaurs seems to be overlooked in video games. I only noticed a few:

Turok - first person shooter
Dream Pinball 3D - got a dinosaur board, but sadly, just not a good game.
Prehistorik 1+2 - platformer
The Curious Expedition - turn-based permadeath explorer sim. With dinos!
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs - old arcade game, can be played via MAME.
Primal Rage - The original dino fighting game. Again, MAME!

There's a dinosaur themed RTS called ParaWorld which also has a sequel.

Not directly Dinosaurs, but you could take a look at Giants Citizen Kabuto

You can have my sister in-law? Paint her green and you could ride a dinosaur... or play as James T. Kirk and fight a Gorn.

In Freedom Force 2 (maybe even in 1 I'm not sure) you can create your own custom superhero and use a dinosaur model for him, so he'd be a dinosaur with superpowers! :D

I still have my CD copy of Primal Rage - I loved that sooo much back in the day even though it wasn't a great fighter, IT WAS DINOSAURS!!

Unfortunately there's not much else beside Prehistorik & Turok on GOG, which is a shame because the dinosaur used to be such a big player in the late 80s and early 90s even before the Jurassic Park movie captured our imaginations. Joe & Mac (or Caveman Ninja), Dino Wars, and Designasauraus II, etc. There were a few educational simulators too, but their names elude me.

This topic has just reminded me of an interesting chapter of my life when I was wearing dinosaur pyjamas while wrapped up in dinosaur bedsheets. I basically learned to read from dinosaur-themed media.

Maybe Impossible Creatures? Although that seems more based on mixing and matching parts from one species with another (Say, giving lobster claws to a tiger).

Dinosaurs... seems an underused genre, then again it was probably overused in the NES/SNES games.
