Radical Rex is a 1994 platformer for the Sega Genesis featuring a skateboarding, fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus rex. Developed by Beam Software, the game leans into the 90s “mascot with attitude” trend, sending Rex through prehistoric levels to save his dinosaur friends from an evil mammal spell. You will navigate on foot and by skateboard, using your fiery breath to stun enemies and your powerful jump-kick to knock them out of the way.
How to Play
Your goal is to guide Rex to the end of each level, defeating enemies and collecting items along the way. In the browser, Sega Genesis controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move and crouch. Press Z to breathe fire, X to jump, and C to use your screen-clearing roar attack. Press Enter for Start.
Tips
- Collect eggs: Grabbing 80 eggs in a single level unlocks a bonus stage, which is an excellent opportunity to earn extra continues.
- Save your roar: Hold onto your powerful roar attacks for the difficult boss encounters at the end of each world.
- Stun and strike: The safest way to handle regular enemies is to briefly stun them with your fire breath, then finish them off with a jump-kick.
