Trex Warrior: 22nd Century Gladiator is a 1991 action video game developed and published by Thalion Software for the Amiga and Atari ST. Previously unreleased in the United Kingdom, the game was released in 1993 on The One magazine cover disk as public-domain software.[1]
In the 22nd century, a new sport has emerged that involves battling droids in a walled arena. The player is a contestant named Riano Bolar, who must fight off various types of droids, including speeders and missile-launching "Wasps". Different kind pads can be driven over: jump pads, shield pads which replenish the droid's shields, star pads which cause damage to the droid. Static objects can be blown up to take out nearby opponent droids. At the end of each survived day, credits are earned that can be spent on new weaponry.[1]
