Dino Rex

About

You play as a dinosaur in a brutal brawling match. Each fighter uses teeth and claws to take down opponents. Every dinosaur has a tiny human riding on its back. If you lose, your master gets devoured. Choose from various prehistoric beasts. Fight in single player or take on a friend in local multiplayer. The matches are fast and chaotic. Simple controls let you swipe and bite your way to victory. The weird concept of masters being eaten is a memorable twist. It adds dark humor to the carnage. Released in 1992, Dino Rex feels raw and unpolished. Taito was known for arcade hits like Dead Connection and Warrior Blade around that time. While not a technical showcase, the game’s over-the-top violence and quirky characters make it stand out. Casual players might find it amusing. Longtime arcade fans could appreciate it as a niche curio. No modern remakes exist, but it’s a piece of Taito’s extensive 80s and 90s catalog.
