About This Retro Game
Dino Rex was Taito's attempt to capitalize on the fighting game boom of the early 1990s with a prehistoric twist. The game features 8 playable dinosaurs including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, and Pteranodon.
The game uses digitized sprites similar to Mortal Kombat, but with dinosaurs. Each character has unique attacks and special moves, though the gameplay is simpler than mainstream fighting games.
Despite its innovative concept, Dino Rex was not commercially successful and remains a cult classic among arcade enthusiasts. Its unique premise and quirky mechanics have gained it a following among retro gaming fans.
