Radical Rex (USA)
Radical Rex is a 1 or 2-player platforming video game released in 1994 for North America, Europe and Australia. It was published by Activision and developed by Australian game studio Beam Software for the Super Nintendo, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, and Sega CD. The game stars Radical Rex, a skateboarding, fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus rex. During production, the game was originally titled: "Baby T-Rex".
The Sega CD version of the game has a CD Redbook Audio quality soundtrack composed by Marshall Parker.
Radical Rex must save his land, and his girlfriend Rexanne, from an evil magician named Sethron. In his way are dinosaurs, sea creatures, and other monsters. Rex has a few abilities, including a roar that kills or hurts all enemies on screen, a fire breath which can temporarily immobilize enemies, and a bubble spray which he can use while under water. Sethron is replaced by a Gopher like mammal named Skriitch in the Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega CD versions. Despite this, the Gopher acts the same as its Super NES Counterpart
