Tyrannosaurus Tex is a cancelled first-person shooter video game for the Nintendo Game Boy Color portable console developed by Slitherine Software and planned to be released in March 2000.[1] The game generated high expectations, as it would have been one of only two first-person shooters released for the Game Boy Color, alongside Ultimate Paintball.[2]
