Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is a classic 1993 side-scrolling beat ’em up developed by Capcom for the Arcade, based on the Xenozoic Tales comic series. Set in a 26th-century post-apocalyptic Earth where humanity and dinosaurs coexist, players select from four unique charactersโJack Tenrec, Hannah Dundee, Mustapha Cairo, and Mess O’Bradovichโto fight through gangs of mutant poachers and enraged beasts.
How to play
The objective is to clear each stage by defeating waves of enemies and a final boss. To play in the browser, press Shift to insert a coin and Enter to start. Use the Arrow Keys to move, Z to attack, and X to jump. Pressing both Attack and Jump simultaneously unleashes a powerful crowd-clearing special move at the cost of a small amount of health.
Tips
- Mustapha is highly regarded as the strongest character due to his exceptional speed and his devastating flying kick.
- Use firearms and throwable weapons whenever they appear, as they provide crucial crowd control against groups of enemies.
- Try not to attack the neutral dinosaurs; they will attack the poachers for you until provoked into turning hostile (glowing red).
