And anything not featuring enough dinosaurs was inevitably out. And after the first Spielberg’s take on Jurassic Park appeared on the silver screen, they were a thing even more. And being a millennial kid, I can tell you that dinosaurs were a thing back then. But the unique combination of Fallout Style retro-future apocalypse combined with the Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World elements were definitely something new. Like, we’ve seen games based on a comic book a million times before. And since I’ve got to read some of the comic stories only after I’ve first played the game itself, I can only imagine what it must have been like for the comic fans when they first popped that coin into the cabinet. But what makes Cadillacs and Dinosaur so fun is its settings and atmosphere. I mean, it’s a perfectly good and fun brawler on its own. And, well, that’s not where it exactly excels. Now, gameplay-wise, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs are pretty much your average Capcom-style brawler: isometric view and movement, four characters to choose from (up to three players can play simultaneously), destructible surroundings (which usually yields you some kind of reward like bonus score points or HPs), weapon pick-ups-you get the idea. There the protagonists, the eponymous Cadillacs, named after their ‘sort of leader’ Jack “Cadillac” Tenrec, find themselves fighting a group of poachers called Black Marketeers, who (for unknown reasons) hunt and capture wild dinosaurs, which makes the animals afraid of-and thus hostile towards-humans, breaking the fragile equilibrum between the surviving humanity and the new thriving ecosystem.
