Paraworld is basically a game playing in the past when humans ended up in a sub-world where dinosaurs still dominated the planet. It is a very nice RTS and will keep you busy for quite a while. Since it was released back in 2006, you can get a used copy on some websites for as low as $5.
Here is a Intrro (You have to watch it in HD!):

ParaWorld ("parallel world") is an alternate universe where dinosaurs and ice age creatures never became extinct. A group of 19th-century scientists, the SEAS (the Society of Exact Alternative Science)led by scientific genius Jarvis Babbit, discover the parallel world where dinosaurs and primitive human tribes coexist. When they subsequently learn that people don't age in this dimension, and that the concept of electricity is inexistant, they decide to remain there to rule. Later, three young scientists are led to Jarvis Babbit: the American geologist Anthony Cole, Swedish biologist Stina Holmlund, and Hungarian physics genius Béla Andràs Benedek, all of whom having discovered elements in the "real" world that point toward the existence of a parallel world. Jarvis Babbit decides to send the three scientists into "Paraworld", seemingly for an expedition. However,when the three heroes discover the true intentions of the SEAS, they have to rally all the parallel-world's warring habitants in order to defeat the SEAS.
The three scientists serve as the game's core "hero" units. Their main goal is to return to their home universe, but to do this they will need to enlist the aid of enlightened natives and battle against the hostile creatures, tribes, and ultimately the masterminds trying to stop them. Along the way they'll meet several characters who are seemingly based on classical scientists such as Nicola Tesla ("Nikolaj Taslow" in the game). They eventually discover that a man named David Leighton, who is one of Babbit's men, is orchestrating events on the parallel world, and pursue him. They also learn of a plot to permanently seal the world away by moving the planet out of orbit, which will also trigger a cataclysm.
In order to save the planet and secure their own escape from ParaWorld, they are forced to assault Babbit's fortifications. They manage to stop the countdown and Stina cuts off Leighton's arms. Babbit makes a last-ditch effort to stop the heroes by using a giant robot. Babbit falls into lava and presumably dies. The heroes finally go back home. However, Cole is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call telling him that the dinosaurs have come through as well. The chaos of ParaWorld now ensues on planet Earth.
