Don't ever get rid of the "Happy Little Games" NEVER!

This series definitely needs a comeback, be it game or cartoon form. If they can't use Cadillacs in the title, they can just go back to it's original name Xenozoic Tales.

My ex wife asked me under a beautiful moonlit night, "two very wonderful things have come together, here" and I replied with "Cadillacs and dinosaurs, no wait, robocop vs terminator?". 😂😂😂😢

This is probably my favorite beat 'em up ever! (Along with Final Fight).

I remember playing Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in the arcades quite a bit. It was one of the very few games in 1993 that could pull me away Super Street Fighter 2, Samurai Shodown, and Virtua Fighter (Virtua Racing occasionally). The one thing I will never get over is that it never saw a proper Sega Genesis/Sega CD and (or) Snes release (I'm not including the "version" we got for the Sega CD. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is one of the few incredible beat em' ups that for one stupid reason or another was kept off home consoles. Other games that failed to materialize were The Simpsons Arcade, X-Men Arcade, Golden Axe The Revenge of Death Adder, AVP, and Rastan 3 (that would be Saturn or Playstation). I was also not very amused when D&D Shadows over Mystara and D&D Tower of Doom only saw release on the Japanese Saturn (Japanese only releases don't count). Addendum- Yes, I realize that The Simpsons Arcade got a 360 release that Disney pulled down. I'm also aware that both D&D arcade games are playable today on an Xbox Series X. Bonus: If you guys want to play a beat em up of the same caliber as many of the games I listed above I have a suggestion for you. That game is Ninja Baseball Bat Man. It was a very obscure Japanese only arcade game that is fully playable on Mame. It is 1 part batsh*t insane, 1 part incredible, and is highly entertaining. Try it, you will love it! ;)

I started by watching your video on Gauntlet, because I remembered playing Legends as a kid, and now i'm just down your entire rabbit hole of cool niche arcade games from the 90's-00's. Great content man.

Excellent upload, PatmanQC! I played the hell out of this game in the arcades back in the 90's.

Used to love watching this cartoon as a kid and then going to the arcades and seeing this game there. Such a shame this game never got a home port.

I dont think Ive ever seen this in an arcade, but played it often over mame with friends, and it teaches an important life lesson, when facing an angry dinosaur the only way to calm it down, is beat the hell out of it.

Heres another pairing. "Eyes and Ears", cos that what we all are when Patman releases another awesome docmenentary. Thankyou Sir for another gem of a video. Thankyou.

Nicely done! Such a great arcade game!

I first saw a C&D arcade machine in, of all places, a bowling alley in Norway. Gave it a shot and loved it. It’s still among my favorite beat ‘em ups ever, and desperately deserves a release on modern consoles, though the licensing is probably a nightmare.

loved the Bababooey knife at 11:01

I have always loved this game since I was a child, what I remember the most is that part where one of the enemies arrives and wakes up a Tyrannosaurus Rex to attack you, jajajaja.

This game and Ninja Baseball Batman are my most cherished arcade PCB boards in my collection

Thanks for the history lesson on this fantastic game! I think it's a real Capcom fan favorite! The music is rocking on every single stage from the beginning, right to the end with your final match with Dr. Fesseneden! A couple cool things to note are that you could let sleeping dinasaurs lay sleeping, or give them a few patty- wacks to tame them if they briefly attack you; also the scene where 4 fat boys run at your character from each corner of the screen and crash into each other at the center of the screen, if you successfully move your character away in time. 😝🤞🏾

I love Cadillac and Dinosaurs the Arcade from master's people from CAPCOM® the best beat them up arcade games the best games based on comic books and finally the best CAPCOM® Games of all times thank you for this episode history PatmanQC 👍👍

The game, comic and even the cartoon was a lot of fun. Played a few times at the arcade with friends.

Nice video, and it's always cool to see someone mentions Nemezes's homebrew. Cadillacs is basically a institution here in Brazil because in almost every corner with a bar, you could see a machine with Cadillacs and Dinossaurs, so every kid who grew in the 90's here, know about this game.

I have such amazing memories playing this. I’m so fortunate to have this on my arcade at home. Love your content sir.

Thank you, another great upload! Quickly becoming the go to authority for arcade histories, your videos should be archived for future generations.

Can't believe "Cadillacs and Dinossaurs" is the actual name of the game, I thought it was a whacky description that you throw in before saying the title of the thing like "Time travel & robots: The Terminator franchise" etc.

I love this game. I recently played through it with my daughter and she loved it.

Great choice! I found this one through MAME, it never made the arcades where I was at the time and I find it to be the best and most 'mature' use of the 'punisher' game engine that was used for several of the last Capcom 16-bit side-brawlers. So much fun, especially steamrolling baddies by the dozen with my Caddy in the desert. It really is an arcade classic.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is one of my top five favorite Capcom beat'em ups of all time and it definitely needs a comeback along with the Punisher and Aliens vs. Predator coin-ops. Thanks for the video Patman

I love this game man. It's so over the top. Was a fav in the arcade.

Worth noting that at one point there was indeed a port of the brawler planned for the Nintendo 64, but I don't think it got very far along in development before being canceled before the system even released stateside.

Fantastic work on this video! I finally saw the cartoon on Tubi a bit over a week ago, so the timing of this video was perfect. Capcom really did work some magic with that game.

I had no idea there was a cartoon. There was an amusement park near me that had this game, alongside the Dungeons & Dragons game so many a quarter left my pocket. I always thought it was strange that they called the dinos different names. Shivat, rock hopper, etc. I assumed they were character names but I'm not so sure now. They might be used for the species instead of a single pet. Great video. Since I saw it in the arcades, I've been waiting for a home release.

Loved the background music while you explained the history! Keep em coming!

I remember watching this show when I was really young in the 90s. Good show, but only 13 episodes. I didn't realize that there was an arcade game or that it was based on a comic book until way later.

I remember watching Cadillac and Dinosaurs on TV 📺 when I was a kid it's still excellent today I wish that a second season would happen and I will play the arcade game. 😀👍🎮

Always funny to see regular dude put his dukes up against a T-rex

CPS 1 board games always interest me. See they beat neogeo to the punch in terms of basically a home console in an arcade via exchanging some of the board and not all - yet neogeo is more remembered for this. Capcom even released its cps-changer that uses SNES pads like neogeo aes. It was a good platform and favourite of mine in the arcades- well and truly powerful hardware at the time that home consoles couldn’t compete with till the Saturn and PlayStation era.

One of my favorite beat ‘em ups. The soundtrack is dope.

One of my favourites, to this day! Thanks, Patman 👍🔥

Before I get deep into this video I must confess...and this might seem silly to say but even though it's a Capcom game and I'm a huge fan of beat em ups I've never taken the time to play this game. The only Capcom beat em ups from the 90's that I played were the two D&D games Tower Of Doom and Shadows Over Mystara port for the Sega Saturn, Captain Commando for SNES and The Punisher for Genesis. Whenever a game was based on a movie or franchise I'm unfamiliar with, especially during the 90's and 2000s, I tended to shy away and miss out on many of them. This weekend since I've had the game sitting in my mame collection for so long I'm going to play it from beginning to end sometime this weekend. I already know your commentary will be great but the QSound music is what sold me about 2 minutes into the video lol 😃

Thanks, Patman! A fun game and I think I was one of the people who requested it before, so thank you from me and others who asked. It’s appreciated!

I never played the video games but did collect the comics,great content.

The story line of Cadillacs and dinosaurs was what I imagined the last Jurassic World movie was going to be like.... Would have been soooo much better!

I love the 3 stooges. I have the ultimate collection on DVD unopened still in the plastic

You have to love a beat 'em up where you get to punch a T-Rex in the face.

Before Capcom Coi Op closed I came about and bought the sequel protype of this game called Cadillac's Pimps & Whores. It has Heidi Flice as a playable character

i found ONE comic store with this machine in the 90s and dumped dozens into it just to see the two headed TRex man boss. Never made it that far lol

I have so many memories playing this game as a kid at my local mall arcade, Aladdins Castle. They had this machine right next to Lucky and Wild, and I would jump from one to the other - always busting my budget and begging for more money. I am not sure how popular it would be, but I would love to learn some backstory on Lucky and Wild.

I finally got to play through this game last year on emulation it was cool.

This game is fantastic!! I'm definitely going to play it this weekend 😊

This is my favorite beat em game.

Another excellent upload, Pat! That early 90s Capcom beat-‘em-up formula remains undefeated! I also remember getting ‘Xenozoic Tales’ in paperback when Dark Horse acquired the license in the early 2000s.

Thank you patmanqc, great video!!!

I don’t know how I missed this game back then but it looks like a lot of fun. Great review as always!

Awesome game, childhood memories from trips to Spain - where they had arcademachines

Another great one on probably my favorite beat em up ever. I always thought it was stupid that they never ported it to consoles. The C&D on Sega CD was the $hits.

Jack Hanna is a legend

Whenever I go back and play this one, the guy at the "Game Over" screen make me think of Vince Vaughn 😄

Out of all the stuff ive played via mame, this's one of the best

Wow I only saw the FMV game, didn't know it was a beat em up! Gotta play this with my kids!

Jack and Hanna. Really??? LMAO. Love your videos PacMan. Please don't ever change

This was one of the first games I've putted my name on the top. It was my birthday, and I've just received some cash... I went to the arcade right after and spent it all to put my name on it. My parents were angry af, but it was worth it.

Thank you Patman. I really needed this video. Baba Booey

Played this classic until the finish back in the day. Being in England, we'd not heard of it. Just thought it was hilariously random, lol.

Good coverage and footage as usual Patman. I've heard soo much about this series and even more so the game but have never played it. I've always hoped it would be re-released in a beat em up pack but licensing issues probably prevents that along with Alien vs. Predator and Punisher.

You the man, Pat!

This is a really pretty awesome game, nice video.

Always learn something new about old classics here, great video

Excellent review. Thank you, PatmanQC!

I played a good clone of this on Mini clip. It was called dino strike. oh you just mentioned it.😂

Im a huge, lifelong Howard Stern fan, so as im listening to this as im taking out the garbage, i had to stop, rewind, and look when i heard "bababooey knife" 😅😅 I go "wait what??? Ive been listenint for 35 years, and i never heard of Baba Booey having a knife, or some joke about him and a knife, lemme see just what a bababooey knife is, cuz i--- oh wait... a BOWIE knife, so might as well throw a baba in front of booey....as peeps are known to do..." Lol awesome Ps i also like that you can bludgeon a dude to death with a bullet-less M16, instead of just losing your weapon like in other games

SO sad that this never made it to consoles. This is right up there with River City Ransom as one of my favorite beat-em-ups. It just balanced things so "right."

Great documentary and it was interesting to learn about the comic book history too. Thank you. I need to complete this game next chance I get. I only got through the first level and then ran out of time back then. Amazing how Blanka shows up. I never saw the Genesis version in stores, thanks for showing it. Thanks, Patman!

There is a Chinese mobile game that doesn’t have a global release. The very strange thing about it is that the game is very clearly based on the Capcom game but is not licensed by them, but from Mark Schultz himself. It’s also called Xenozoic Tales which is the original comic name. The gameplay is more fighting game based and seems inspired by The King Of Fighters All Star.

Great documentary about C&D! Good idea using the music of the game in the background! I hope you do that in the rest of the documentaries you do. By the way, I just realized that Jack and Hannah were named after the nature documentary wild America host Jack Hanna.

I didn't see that coming...morning wood😂😂

This is a really cool show and I enjoy it.

My favorite Arcade game. Fun fun fun !

Thanks Patman!

The comic wasn't cancelled, Schultz just takes forever.

Wow, I had forgotten this game existed, and I had no idea about its source material or that there was a cartoon! I always learn cool stuff from your vids. It's a shame Caddies And Dinos couldn't have been included on the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle released a few years back.

The rainbow edition is crazy.😂

He he... I once beat this game cuz it glitched and my machine gun never ran out of ammo. I just blasted everyone from beginning to end 😂

Great work Sir 👍👍 thank you

I can personally vouch for the morning wood thing.

This looks awesome but I don’t think I’ve ever played it. I’m 49 and didn’t think I’d missed many of Capcom’s fighters, I’m in the UK so I don’t know if it made it over here or not? Great video as always.

The unused dinosaur is a compsognathus. It was pivotal in the original Jurassic Park novel but didn't make it to film until The Lost Wold Jurassic Park movie and PsOne videogame tie in. Despite a JP toy by Kenner made for it and other dino designs that didn't make the final cut. Also Godzilla's squeal is used in Cadillacs and Dinosaurs when you punch a Dino 0.o ?

Richard Simmons voice: "GARY!!! GAAARRRYYY!!!"

With all the recent obscure and dormant I.P retro game re-releases we are getting from Limited Run an Digital Eclipse; I hope that both the Arcade game and Sega CD game; get re-released in one compilation for current and next gen platforms (especially for the Nintendo Switch ecosystem. A double pack of those two games would probably help cover the license fees; unless Capcom can just release a Marvel/Disney beat em up bundle with the Punisher, Alien VS Predator and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (since at this time all 3 are owned by Disney/Marvel).

You'll be glad you did

the famous Mustapha game...

How are the dinosaurs endangerd if they are a dominat spicies again? If anything the potchers are just ordenary hunters. Also yes, please do the rail shooter this is such a cool looking series!

Jack Hannah, I see what they did there.

Nice thumbnail~

French fries in a frosty is insanity!

The Japanese actually use the expression 新世紀 , which literally translates to "new century", but with the meaning of "post-apocalypse". Weird.

The ending makes me laugh because Jack Hanna is a real person

6:09 Yes can you do the review of Cadillac and Dinosaurs on the SEGA CD PatmanQC I love that game not only the SEGA CD game I love and enjoy but I also enjoy Cadillac and Dinosaurs the Arcade from CAPCOM® but can you do the SEGA CD game please PatmanQC!!

Cool! I love this game!!

this is one of the only arcade games i ever completed in the arcade, i think it was about 95

Lets go ice skating! Nah, lets jam C&D instead!

GROWL! is another good one

Punisher engine...
