The game feels a lot like a product of its era and perfectly blends elements we see in other games of its' genre. But we are dealing with half human-half dinosaur enemies, they are supposed to be challenging. Speaking of challenges, the game is an arcade title, we get it, the objective was to munch as many of our quarters as possible, and sometimes the enemy’s attacks, especially with bosses, can feel kind of cheap. It offers a lot of potential as enemies and is truly challenging. The creatures that come out of this abomination of nature are magnificent, both creepy and menacing. We are not talking about the generic run to mill beat ’em up disposable grunts without actual names but instead the people pulling the strings and creating these weird splices of humans and dinosaurs. the real enemies, the humans who capture them and experiment on them are also very interesting lore-wise. The in-game logic of having to beat the crap out of these animals to save them and make them snap out of their trance is brilliant, as it offers a chance to fight them but not treat them as enemies per se. And that is not a way to treat legends of this caliber.Ĭadillacs and Dinosaurs offer a fresh take on the genre by adding actual living dinosaurs within the game, and while it might seem too outlandish or impractical, their presence is very much appreciated. But, alas, due to forces outside of our grasp, this game has never had a proper console release, and it is destined to live in our memories, in dusty arcade cabinets, or as not-so-legal emulators online. The result is one of the best games in the genre and one that most remember fondly. This game took the formula, added an over-the-top IP, and just ran with it. Predator, or the rather obscure Captain Commando, but one game that is especially good at what these titles did great is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. We remember fondly games like Final Fight, Alien vs. When it comes to beat ‘em up games, Capcom titles often make it to the top of the list and the depths of our hearts.
