The Savage Story of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Explained

Рет қаралды 4,145

Күн бұрын

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is a beat'em-up game developed and published by Capcom, released in 1993 exclusively for arcades. The game is based on the American comic "Xenozoic Tales," later adapted into an animated series. Unfortunately, due to a series of mismanagement issues, the series had a short-lived existence. Featuring four playable characters, with three available for simultaneous control by players, the game boasts vibrant visuals, a solid and timeless gameplay experience, and, most importantly, dinosaurs!

In South Africa this game is very popular even the kids who are still in Primary School are still playing this in the shops that have an Arcade Cabinet. Bro during the 2010s every kid in SA played the death out of this game along with KOF 2002 plus magic 2 ultra (forgot the full name of Kof 02 😅). This game has a special place in my childhood

Everyone called the game "Mustafa" because he's the most picked and used Character, nobody called it Cadillacs and Dinosaurs 😂 guess the name wasn't as catchy as King of Fighters

This was probably every South African's most played beatem up game back in the Arcade days. I only learned later that it was called Cadillac and Dinosaurs because everyone would just call it Mustapha because he was the most popular character

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or as we call it "Mustapha" is the single game that can describe my childhood, my gaming career, my entire life and the gaming era of our country Bangladesh. From bunking teachers/tuition/coaching, stealing money everyday for the arcade, getting beaten by my father everyday sometimes to a level that my mother had to take me to the doctor, getting betrayed everyday by my friends that I used to trust, beating other kids to get to play the game, getting beaten by the seniors for arguing to get a joystick especially 1P one to a kid getting knifed to death by another kid in our arcade, this game is connected every aspect of my life. I am ruined by this game as I became a fighter because of this game. This game is not only the national arcade game of Bangladesh but this game is the game of my era. As much as I love Street Fighter, the King of Fighters and etc. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs defines the term gaming in my life. I have a love and hate relationship with this game, so many good and bad memories with this game, still play this game and love the sound tracks. In the end, remember me, "Mustapha" is my game! P.s.: we used to think Hannah is Jack's girlfriend. :p

There are some fun tricks in this game. If Jack and Mustapha closely stand together for a few moments Jack pushes Mustapha to a berserk run. Sometimes you can wall jump by jumping towards the wall. Some doorway blocks jump, and if jumped you fall down to the ground very quickly. Mass has enormous damage if you just hold down and press punches. You can push the big dino towards the swamp by firing with Uzi in the 2nd stage. Reply in the comment if you know more tricks.

When i saw this game, what makes me awe is the fluid animation. Especially Mustapha (spinning) Slash Kick. Yet not many beat em up arcade has sprint (tap forward twice input). When i played Streets of Rage 2, i'm still dissapointed there is no sprint. The first game that hook me into beat em up. Really unfortunate Capcom cannot port this game into their Beat Em Up Bundle because of copyright limbo.

Capcom did continue making games featuring Dinosaurs btw, only not a beat em up game xD It's what later we got known as the Dino Crisis or rather I call it, the alternate Resident Evil world featuring dinos instead of bioweapons. Even then, Capcom didn't continue the Dino Crisis series and pretty sure won't reboot it :") sad

True. That was a series that I enjoyed a lot on PS1.

@monday3136 6 ай бұрын

most get it wrong; they don't hit the dinos but implant a device on them, so when you attack it, you are removing the device that makes them go mad.

@ShoryuGame 6 ай бұрын

What about when they shoot them with Bazookas?

@monday3136 3 ай бұрын

@@ShoryuGamesame logic, it came from the animation, that the poachers implant a device on the Dinos with a frequency that makes them become mad with range, that's why when the hitbox is depleted, is like you already removed the device, so they turn green and become friendly again, hence the village arc where they hint on it after you defeated slice.
