OVER TO THE DOX: REX AND THE HEX For millions of years dinosaurs had cruised the prehistoric partylands, doing cool dinosaur-like things in perfect harmony. Primordial life was totally kickback - skateboardin', groovin', chowing down at all-you-can eat salad bars and just hangin' out. Living in the dino-world was as awesome as a high-speed boardjump through the freshest halfpipe! Way cool. But then one day... out of nowhere --- like a sideways board slide... came the MAMMALS! At first it seemed that these mammal-tupes were just little furry nuisances that occasionally had to be wiped from under your feet. No sweat - skateboardin' did get a little bumpier, but there was no major change in the lifestyles of the hip and happenin'. So the dinos partied on... Until the day Skriitch showed up. Skriitch, a funky-lookin' mammal with magical powers, busted out of the frozen wastes to carry out his master plan: to reduce all dinos to ZIP so that mammals could rule the earth! Not exactly a cool deal for the righteous reptilian race. Skriitch jetted through the once kickin' lands using his sorcery to zap the doomed dinos with his horrible hex. With a wave of his hypnotic wizard staff, Skriitch placed most of the dinosaurs in the land under his nightmarish command. Brutal!... If Skriitch continues spreading his evil magic throughout the rest of the dino-lands, the prehistoric world will be hating life! With dinosaurs doing Skriitch's dirty work, the land before time was almost out of time - but oine young dino-dude was too hip to fall under the sway of Skriitch's magic. Radical Rex, teh raddest, baddest dinosaur on prehistoric pavement, keenly outsmarted the evil wizard's mortal curse. So now Rex must take on the grim guru before he gets to the rest of his dinosaur buds... and most importantly, to his dinodarling Rexanne! Will the Mesozoic bad boy be able to "ex" that hex - or lose his main squeeze and the entire dinosaur race to the sinister sorcerer Skriitch? Radical Rex - the dinosaur world's last hope for restoring prehistoric partying. STOP SKRIITCH'S HEX! Whether the result of a calculated dino-move or just plain luck, it's up to Rex to defeat the powerhungry Skriitch - and to save Rexanne and the dinosaur race from extinction. You must help Rex thrash through dangerous prehistoric worlds to defeat the evil Skriitch - before it's too late!

PICKING UP DINO-MIGHT DINOSAUR EGG Go on a dinosaur egg hunt - collect 80 and make it to the bonus world! Your screen displays the result of your egg hunting for each world. (The egg count will start over at the beginning of each world.) FIRE FOSSIL Pick up Fire Fossils to increase Rex's fire-breathing power. The more he picks up, the more burnin' his flame can do. FIREBALL FOSSIL Find a Fireball Fossil and give Rex's fire-breath a powerful new twist; Rex can use this magical form of defense until he is hit. ROAR FOSSIL Pick up enough Roar Fossils to blast out terrifying roars and leave them shakin' in their reptile boots! HEART FOSSIL Pick one up and restore Rex's health. REX CHANCES Gives Rex another chance as a dino-hero. AIR BUBBLE FOSSIL Looks like it's time to take a "breather." INVINCIBILITY FOSSIL Grants Rex invincibility for five seconds - just enough time to get past a dino-foe. PTEROSAUR PTAXI Hail one of these for a quick ride to higher ground. TIKI TORCH Light one up and mark your save point in the current world. When you lose a Rex life, start your next turn at the Tiki Torch (not at the beginning of the world). REX'S CREW REXANNE - Rex's Main Squeeze THE REXETTES - Rex's Jammin' Back-Up Babes DINOVATOR - Rex's uplifting friend in the Dino Graveyeard. AQUALUNG FISH - Rex's Swimming Pal SKRIITCH AND HIS EVIL DOINGS Skriitch: Spreads his evil sorcery to rid the earth of dinosaurs by turning the dinos against each other. TRICERATOPS: Fires and endless supply of fireballs from a horn on its head. SABER-TOOF: Patrols its turf with sharp claws and loud-mouthed roars. SPIKOSAUR: Shoots a layer of spikes from its ever-spiky body. LEAPSNAKE: Leaps around looking for a suitable meal to swallow alive. HEADBUTTOSAUR: Uses its head to butt into everyone's business... BOSSASAUR: Uses its size and an endless supply of fireballs to its advantage. PIRANHA: Swims around craving a tasty dino-snack. SPEEDER: Out-of-control speed is its only weapon. STINGERFLY: This fly is on a sting operation. HYLAEOSAURUS: Uses its built-in protection and a flurry of fireballs to skin some dino-hide. BURSTER: Explodes and splatters globs of goopy purple acid. PTERODACTYL: Circles the skies dropping rocks from above. PUCKERSAURUS: Puckers up to spit out a steady stream of fireballs. BULLFROG: Attacks with a whip of his tongue. SUCKER FISH: Get too close and it'll suck the air out of you! GHOULIE-BIRD: Don't let 'em sppok you - or get near you... SCORPION: Shoots out a weird poisonous venom from his tail. STIFFCERATOPS: Spits out bones - if it gets you, you're bummed. ZOMB-T-REX: Likes to slame-dance - with or without a head. SWAMPHORSE: Bucks at anything in the way of its swamp-trot. CRAB: Skuttles about snapping its claws to pinch its prey. NOSE-LEECH: Get a grip on yourself - or he will! MAKIN' TRACKS ON DINO TURF WALKING/RIDING Rex struts his stuff on or off his board. Sometimes he'll find that his Tyrannosaurus tootsies supply him with the best form of transportation, while other times his board will give him the speed he needs to get him where he wants to go. But remember, Rex rides a skateboard, not a 4-wheeler, so if you try to skate where no board has gone before, you'll find yourself going on a very short ride. BREATHING FIRE Rex's roastin' ability can petrify the nastiest prehistoric monsters to a blackened crisp, but think fast - those bad boys can snap out of it and put Rex in the hotseat before you know it. Watch the Fire-Tracker to see how much firepower Rex has picked up. The more Fire Fossils Rex picks up, the mightier the flame-breath he sports. KICKING The Rexmaster can kick up a storm - a dust storm, that is. Once Rex has fried one of his enemies, all it takes is one swift kick to turn that cripsy critter into a puff of dust. See ya! Whatt's up next for the karate- king of barbecue? CLIMBING AND SWINGING ON VINES Jump on a vine and Rex will be quick to hold on for his dino-life. Then, use the D-PAD to climb up or down the vine. Or, if climbing doesn't seem like the hip thing to do - do what swinging singles do... First, use the D-PAD (left and right) to gain some momentum, then jump off. SWIMMING Rex can only do the dino-paddle for as long as he can hold his breath. To get more air, there are three things Rex can do: 1) swim up for air 2) grab an AIR BUBBLE FOSSIL, or 3) go suck a fish! The third option may not be common behaviour for a cool dino like Rex, but the generosity of some fish makes it worth it. (Rex's Oxygen Gauge at the top of the screen will let you know how much swimming time Rex has left.) BLOWING BUBBLES When Rex is underwater, his fire-breathing capability turns into a different form of defense - bubble-blowing. (Well, what did you think would happen if you breathed fire under water?) Although this capability is not lethal, it will undoubtedly push aquatic enemies away to give Rex the swimming space he needs for a clean get-away. JUMPING Rex can bust out with the coolest, raddest jumps on or off his board. Rex jumps higher than you would expect most dino-dudes to jump and can get even higher with a little help from his friends... Try combining his talents to show-off moves like the karate jump-kick. Excellent! ROARING A dinosaur isn't born with a powerful roar, it comes with experience. The farther Rex advances in his mission, the more opportunities he will have to improve his roaring power. Once Rex has the stuff that real dinos are made of, he can use his mighty mouth to blow away those Mesozoic meanies. TRASHING/FIRING SKATEBOARD The Rexmaster may find himself in situations that call for some slick board maneuvers. He may need to ride his board to get to a certain point, then jump off in mid-air to land on his feet. Rex may find that trashing his board is the quickest way to solid ground. But Rex can also use his board to defend himself. So dinos, stand back - Rex may be armed and dangerous! (Note: If Rex chooses to trash or fire his board, it's trashed for good and he's gotta find a new one before he can hit the slopes again.) REX TRACKS Rex will have to jam through five different dino-worlds to rescure Rexanne and save his dino-buds from extinction! No sweat for the Rexman... But just when Rex thought it was safe to go back into the jungle - Rex has to make it back through all five worlds AGAIN! JUNGLE JAM SWAMP CITY INNERWORKS DINO GRAVEYARD SKRITCH'S FOREST SKITCH'S FOREST II DINO GRAVEYARD II INNERWORKS II SWAMP CITY II JUNGLE JAM II STRATEGY HINTS * Look for useful objects when searching for higher ground they're sure to put a spring in Rex's step. * If Rex's board supplies a quick lift but gets in the way of a footed landing, trashing it may be the only way to solid ground. * Don't be so quick to dust off a charbroiled enemy, Rex may need a stepping stone to get where he wants to go. * If the Leapsnake's got Rex down... his throat... start up the fireworks! * You've gotta be light on your toes to light up a Tiki Torch... * Give a new meaning to "board-thrashing" - take aim before you trash your board! * Show the Dino-Graveyeard Boss your fancy foot-work - up-side his head... then burn away the fleshy bones to finish him off! * Here's the low-down on dodging the pesky Pterodactyl in Skriitch's Forest the second time around find the lowest point and DUCK!
