I guess you could say that, at least in this regard, this maybe wasnвЂ™t a game a lot of kids were playing because they werenвЂ™t allowed to! Did I mention, while censored, this guy also curses at you? (OK, thereвЂ™s no voice, but you know what heвЂ™s telling you!) However, speaking of graphics, thereвЂ™s also a lot of blood and guts in this game, with the most notable scene in the game showing a double katana-wielding madman slicing into an already dead dinosaur, while other dead bodies are found throughout the level.

The characters are all pretty cool, with solid animations throughout but, for me, the enemies and bosses are some of the best IвЂ™ve seen in a Capcom game for the time period, as mutants, dinosaurs, and вЂњMad MaxвЂќ-inspired thugs all come at you full force. With futuristic skylines, lush jungles, and creepy laboratories, just to name a few, thereвЂ™s a nice variety of levels in this game, with some truly stellar backgrounds, some of which feature some nice attention to detail. While the minimal voice work is decent at best, I still love hearing the announcer yell out вЂњGo! Go!вЂќ whenever itвЂ™s time to move on to the next part of the level. If thatвЂ™s not enough for you, all of the punches, kicks, guns, knives, and explosions are well-done too, with an added bonus of dinosaur sounds and revved-up car engines for those of you who like a nice adrenaline rush with your gaming fun. With a solid mix of up-tempo jams, tribal beats, and ominous boss music, the soundtrack truly captures that fun-never-stops atmosphere of вЂњCadillacs and Dinosaurs.вЂќ With a game this action-packed, you need a soundtrack to match, and composers donвЂ™t disappoint with some of the best Capcom beat вЂem up tunes youвЂ™ll hear. Today on Turn to Channel 3, we take a look at a 1993 game that, while it isnвЂ™t necessarily shocking that it is fun considering the publisher behind it, you wouldnвЂ™t find front and center in most arcades of the time period вЂ“ вЂњCadillacs and Dinosaurs!вЂќ This one has an interesting local connection too, as itвЂ™s based on the comic book (and short-lived animated series) вЂњXenozoic TalesвЂќ by writer/illustrator Mark Schultz, who lives in the Scranton area! In the 1980s and вЂ™90s, arcades were chock full of popular titles, so much so that there were always a few diamonds in the rough, those that fell off the radars of gamers pumping quarters into their local вЂњPac-ManвЂќ and вЂњGalagaвЂќ cabinets, or perhaps challenging a friend to a round of вЂњStreet Fighter II.вЂќ While it certainly happens today, thereвЂ™s something to be said about the hidden gems of yesteryear, especially in the realm of arcade games.
