A classic Pop Cap game that I played all the time when I was a kid. If you like classic puzzle games like Bejeweled, Tetris, or anything of the like, then you will have a blast with this game. It doesn't have a ton of game modes (only 3) but games like this do not need that many since you will be absorbed rather quickly. Plus it has dinosaurs and dynomite, and who doesn't like that combination?!

It's a fun little game, and when I say little I mean it! The graphics are long outdated and you'll have to run it in boxed mode just to not be annoyed by it. The size of the box though, will not be much larger than the screenshot on this page - that small!
However it's a nice game. I played it for the first time back in the 90' and it has the same features now as then. It has four modes; Endless Puzzle, Stomped Puzzle, Fossil Challenge and Time Trial.

In Endless Puzzle you have to shoot eggs at the eggs pushed down the screen, making matches of three or more, to break them and make them fall before they reach the rope at the bottom. When the sand runs out in the hourglass the dino Whirley will come flapping, trying to add a new colour to the eggs making in more difficult and you have to shoot him down for it not to happen.

In Stomped Puzzle the mother dino gets mad when you break the eggs and will lower the roof when her anger reaches the top of the meter. When you clear the screen her anger will go back down and you'll get a new formation of eggs to beak as fast as possible.

In Fossil Challenge you get a formation of eggs with a piece of a fossil in it, the goal of the game is to shoot the eggs to make them drop and the fossil along with them. Take too much time and the roof is lowered.

In Time Trial you have to pop eggs as fast as possible.

Only buy this if you're really passionate about this game or it's on a really generous sale, you'll kick yourself otherwise.

Good game, but definitely not worth 5 bucks when you look at it today. Consider buying the Popcap Comlete Pack instead.

I've got Windows 8.1, on a gaming laptop, and this version of Dynomite seems to be a little screwed up. You must reset your settings each time you launch the game, plus the scoring is completely messed up compared to the original version. You play 20 minutes on normal endless, and your score is still really, really low. The game is not as visually smooth as it was on my old computer either. Would I recommend spending 10 bucks on this game without a fix from Steam? Only if you are a diehard dynomite fan.
