Fighting all the men, the four finally get their hands on Vice Terhune. Vice orders his men to attack the group to keep them away from the business. They finds themselves surrounded by Vice Terhune's men as they reach the top of Eastcoast 2513 building. The protagonists reach "the City in the Sea" where they suspect the whole hunting network being operating from. In order to get things sorted again, mechanic and shaman Jack Tenrec, diplomat and explorer by profession Hannah Dundee, friend and engineer Mustapha Cairo, and mysterious Mess O'Bradovich have decided to team up against the evil deeds of the Black Marketeers. The continuous hunting process has made the dinosaurs violent and now they have started attacking villages and people. The story starts 500 years from the 20th century, when an ensemble gang called the Black Marketeers begin hunting the dinosaurs to serve their unknown purpose. The plot is based on the comic Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and takes place in the "City In The Sea" and its neighboring nearby jungle. Players can also find and use various firearms, throwing weapons such as rocks and explosives, and melee weapons such as clubs. Each character has two special moves including one that depletes a character's health upon contact with an enemy and when two or more players play together, they can trigger a team-attack. In Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, the player has access to several attacks. The game's titular dinosaurs make appearances as neutral characters that may attack both player characters and enemies. There are four playable characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses: Jack (balanced type), Hannah (skill type), Mustapha (speed type), and Mess (power type).

See the cabinet art and move-list here (note: external links might be shut down and there’s nothing we could possibly do about it, sorry for the inconvenience if this is the case).Up to three players can play at once, guiding their selected characters through eight stages, battling various enemies and bosses. What do you guess? Now, yes! An eight-way joystick and two buttons (though for some strange reason, MAME lists three buttons in the settings tab), button one for attack and pick-up and button two for jump. Sounds and visuals are pretty ok for a 1993 game, though it wouldn’t hurt if the sprites were a bit sharper, I guess, but hey-if the scenes look real enough and do not make you want to puke and scratch your eyes out of your head, what’s there more to ask for?Ĭontrols? Well. And anything not featuring enough dinosaurs was inevitably out. And after the first Spielberg’s take on Jurassic Park appeared on the silver screen, they were a thing even more. And being a millennial kid, I can tell you that dinosaurs were a thing back then. But the unique combination of Fallout Style retro-future apocalypse combined with the Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World elements were definitely something new. Like, we’ve seen games based on a comic book a million times before. And since I’ve got to read some of the comic stories only after I’ve first played the game itself, I can only imagine what it must have been like for the comic fans when they first popped that coin into the cabinet.

But what makes Cadillacs and Dinosaur so fun is its settings and atmosphere. I mean, it’s a perfectly good and fun brawler on its own. And, well, that’s not where it exactly excels. Now, gameplay-wise, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs are pretty much your average Capcom-style brawler: isometric view and movement, four characters to choose from (up to three players can play simultaneously), destructible surroundings (which usually yields you some kind of reward like bonus score points or HPs), weapon pick-ups-you get the idea. There the protagonists, the eponymous Cadillacs, named after their ‘sort of leader’ Jack “Cadillac” Tenrec, find themselves fighting a group of poachers called Black Marketeers, who (for unknown reasons) hunt and capture wild dinosaurs, which makes the animals afraid of-and thus hostile towards-humans, breaking the fragile equilibrum between the surviving humanity and the new thriving ecosystem.

#Cadillacs and dinosaurs mame series
Half naked chicks, dinosaurs, vintage rides and guns in a single package, you say? Well, count me in!īased on the popular 1990’s comic book series titled Xenozoic Tales (or C&D), Cadillacs and Dinosaurs follow the same group of characters (from the comic) living in a post-apocalyptic 26th century, in which the Earth (after the humanity took refuge in underground shelters for circa six hundred years) has been repopulated by previously extinct species, namely dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures.
