A cute American platformer with a muscular dinosaur, fairly snappy. Lovely for short sessions, technically dated but charming for the era.

Is Radical Rex still worth playing in 2026?

A prehistoric platformer from Beam Software, Radical Rex stages a skateboarding, fire breathing dinosaur who crosses colourful levels full of enemies and traps. The blend of speed, jumping and attacks brings a certain dynamism, but the uneven level design, sometimes stiff handling and a lack of strong identity keep it in the genre's average. The presentation stays decent and the tone good natured. For a fan of retro platforming or someone curious about forgotten 1990s mascots, the title keeps a modest but likeable entertainment.
