Several years ago, Google added a fun little Easter egg to Chrome: if your internet went down and you tried to visit a web page, you'd see the message 'Unable to connect to the Internet' or 'No internet' with a little pixilated dinosaur next to it.
- No wifi games or free games without wifi are the type of games which you can play without wifi or with no internet connection.
- The game can be launched in the Chrome browser on both desktop and mobile. The control is the simplest: when you see that black dinosaur in your browser signifying that there is no Internet connection, just hit the spacebar to launch the game. The spacebar is also used to leap over obstacles. The down arrow is used to duck.
Why is there a dinosaur when there is no Internet? It is a funny game, developed by Google, to take time off your computer and rest. Name of the cute dinosaur - T-Rex Dino. This offline game has great graphics and lets you enjoy it even when you have slow or no internet. It is the sequel of Alto's Adventure but works as a standalone game. It is easy to understand but requires skill to become advanced. You have to chain together combos and complete 180 goals in the game. Google Chrome's 'No Internet' message has a funny, yet frustrating game — T-Rex runner. The game itself is simple but getting harder and harder as the gameplay speed increased. However, there is a hack to make your dinosaur immortal. This means the dinosaur will never die even though crashing cactus and bird.
Many people probably just thought the dinosaur was a cute little icon to keep them company while their connection was down. But then someone pressed the space bar. And the dino started running.
This little Easter egg has become a beloved game. But what if you just want to play it (careful, it's addictive) when you're online and need a break? In this article, you'll learn how to play the game when you're both off and online.
