At first glance, Baby T-Rex is not an intuitive title to see a rerelease for the Chromatic. Note that, labeling of the rewriteable lime green cartridge notwithstanding, Baby T-Rex is, indeed, merely a Game Boy game, playable on original hardware. The original Baby T-Rex is relatively rare, selling for upwards of fifty dollars, mostly…

First shown off in 1989, it was created by a team of former Sinclair Research staffers, it boasted a moving chair accessory and light gun—but the project collapsed when Konix went under in 1990.
