Dinosaurs Attack! is a Collectible Card Game series by Topps, released in 1988, and containing 55 cards and 11 sticker cards. The card series was created as a follow-up to the successful trading card series, Mars Attacks!, and was similarly intended as an homage and a parody of 1950s B-movies.The "story arc" of the card series is that a scientific time-travel experiment has gone horribly wrong, transporting dinosaurs of many varieties from their prehistoric world to modern times. The dinosaurs immediately wreak havoc upon mankind and chaos reigns as the scientists work to reverse the time-travel effect. In the end, the Supreme Monstrosity, patron deity of the dinosaurs (nicknamed "Dinosaur Satan" by some fans; just look at him!) intervenes, trying to stop the scientists. The lead scientist, Elias Thorne, sacrifices himself to the Supreme Monstrosity so his wife, Helen, can succeed and send the dinosaurs back to their own time, tearing the animals apart in the process.The series is best known for its incredibly violent content and blood-spattered artwork. Scientific accuracy is, needless to say, not to be seen here. The old Dinosaurs Are Dragons and Prehistoric Monster tropes are brought out in full force and in a more extreme way than ever before. The whole series was very clearly going for Refuge in Audacity writ large.Tim Burton was planning on making a movie, but dismissed it when a slightly less obscure dinosaur movie was released. Instead he made Mars Attacks!Eclipse Comics intended to release a three-part miniseries based on the cards, but ended up only releasing the first issue; IDW eventually republished that issue and had four new issues made to finish the series.Note: The images in the cards aren't necessarily Not Safe for Work, but they can get very, very gory, to the point where it's hard to believe they're from a kids' series. You will get odd looks if you view them at work. | |

Herbivores Are Friendly: Both played straight and subverted. On the one hand, most of the herbivores in the series are depicted as violent and aggressive. On the other hand, they're also shown as having Ascended to Carnivorism. The only one that actually is depicted as an herbivore, the Trachodon, really is friendly (or at least non-violent). | |

And Knowing Is Half the Battle: The backs of the stickers contained "The TRUTH about" a given species of dinosaur, with accurate facts (well, accurate for the time, anyway) to contrast with its portrayal on the cards. That said, they still contain some information that was erroneous even for the time (namely calling Dimetrodon a dinosaur, and Trachodon was already a dubious genus by the eighties). | |

| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_ab497c22 | comment |
Predators Are Mean: If the dinos killing people aren't herbivores who have been Ascended to Carnivorism, then they're carnivores who have been switched into Kill All Humans mode despite the fact that they wouldn't be interested in eating humans to begin with. This includes Elasmosaurus (a fish-eater), Pteranodon (also a fish-eater and possibly an occasional scavenger) and even Tyrannosaurus rex itself (humans would most likely be far too small and bony for it). | |

Temper-Ceratops | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_c8bb9f15 | comment |
Temper-Ceratops: All of the dinosaurs in this series are vicious killers, and Triceratops is no exception. In its most memorable appearance, it charges into a wedding and spears the bride and groom on its horns. | |

Animals Not to Scale | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_d0c9634e | comment |
Animals Not to Scale: Many of the dinosaurs are ridiculously big, some of them towering over skyscrapers. A few are even blatant references to pre-existing saurian kaiju. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: The authors of the comic adaptation compare it to RoboCop (1987), in that "the violence depicted is so preposterous that it can't help but be funny, which is part of the satiric message." | |

Hollywood Atheist | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_da46a2c0 | comment |
Hollywood Atheist: In the comic book adaptation, Elias Thorne is said to have forsaken his belief in God after his brother Jordan died, though he gets better after his encounter with the "Supreme Monstrosity" and is even reunited with his brother when he dies. | |

Monumental Damage | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_dddbdc26 | comment |
Monumental Damage: Between battling dinosaurs destroying the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Big Ben being pummeled by some giant lizard, pterodactyls pecking the eyes out of Mount Rushmore and a plesiosaur constricting the Statue of Liberty with its neck, it seems no monument is safe from the Prehistoric Monsters! | |

Reptiles Are Abhorrent | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_e24d2d5c | comment |
Reptiles Are Abhorrent: It's nice and subtle about it too. Once more, with feeling: Dinosaur Satan. Also, around the middle of the storyline, an alien appears in the dreams of the lead scientist and helpfully informs him that Humans Are Special and have souls while dinosaurs merely get by on being "savage," "wicked and terrifying." No, seriously. | |

Gorn | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_e542d889 | comment |
Gorn: The artwork is incredibly graphic, and shows horrifyingly bloody violence to a completely ridiculous and unrealistic degree as both humans, dinosaurs, and other animals are ripped apart and blown to pieces like water balloons filled with blood and viscera. Not even children or dogs are spared from the gruesome terror. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies | |
| Dinosaurs Attack! (Tabletop Game) / int_eb4086e3 | comment |
Big Creepy-Crawlies: Manhattan has become a prehistoric swamp where giant prehistoric dragonflies shred women's scalps because they are attracted to hairspray. Also trilobites are deadly, fleshing eating monstrosities. | |
