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 Caddilacs and dinosaurs game was launched by Capcom in Japan in 1993, which was based on a comic series. During the 90’s, no one would have been left and crazy about such a game which would not have played this game once. Ok, so once again Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is not based on the arcade game, but I was pretty shocked at the angle Sega took with this. The world of arcade games, as it had changed, after the arrival of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Game. There is the odd dinosaur here and there, but you really do not see much. The game's titular dinosaurs make appearances as neutral characters that may attack both player characters and enemies. I say this because there is a severe lack of dinosaurs in this game, the biggest enemies are things like trees and rocks.
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). The player guiding selected characters through eight stages, battling various enemies and bosses. One of my favourite scrolling beat 'em ups, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs has everything you could want from the genre -lots of moves, a wide variety of enemy types, fast paced action, great graphics and a really good musical score.
