This is primarily a top-down scrolling action game with shooting elements, occasionally transitioning to side-scrolling views in certain stages, providing a diverse gameplay experience.

Riki begins his journey with his basic weapon: stones. However, throughout the game, players can collect power-ups to upgrade his weapons into more effective tools such as boomerangs, axes, and even fire. Each weapon type has its unique characteristics, requiring players to choose and strategize their approach against different types of enemies. Additionally, Riki can pick up other support items like speed boosts, protective shields, and extra lives, helping him survive the harsh challenges.

The world of Adventures of Dino Riki is fraught with danger, teeming with countless prehistoric enemies such as dinosaurs, giant insects, and other bizarre creatures. Players must navigate skillfully, dodging obstacles, and eliminating foes along the way. Each stage is uniquely designed with diverse environments including dense jungles, dark caves, fiery volcanoes, and vast deserts. At the end of each stage, Riki will confront a formidable boss, requiring players to master their skills and tactics to defeat it.

The game features a scoring system and a limited number of lives, adding pressure and challenge. Collecting coins along the way also contributes to the player's score. With its characteristic 8-bit NES graphics and lively sound, Adventures of Dino Riki offers a classic, challenging, and engaging experience for those who enjoy action-adventure games.
