Radical Rex

Developer: Beam Software

Radical Rex puts you in the scaly shoes of a rad, cartoon T. rex as you leap through bright, 16-bit side-scrolling stages on the Sega CD. Layered with upbeat CD audio and over-the-top boss encounters, the game mixes straightforward platforming with projectile-based combat and collectible power-ups. Levels emphasize timed jumps, enemy patterns, and hidden paths that reward exploration and repetition. Fans of flashy visuals and boom-box era soundtracks will find nostalgia in its bold presentation, while newcomers can expect chunky challenge, memorization-heavy encounters, and quick, arcade-style pacing.
