Released in November 1992, Dino Rex was originally planned to be released exclusively to the western market but in the end the game was released to the Japanese market too.
At the beginning of the game development, the original plan was to design a helicopter shoot'em up, but this changed because of the success of the famous Street Fighter 2.

The US version is slightly different, it has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen.
