This isn't a console or PC game, I think? at least not the version I played which was on arcade. But this is the closest subforum for it.
I played it today w some friends on an emulator at his house. The game was way better than I expected. It's one awesome, exciting, and very fair/responsive for an arcade game. I'm used to arcade beatemups being cruelly unfair and taking damage from nearly impossible boss enemies for example. Cadillacs and dinosaurs has a plot that is cryptically as psychotic and questionable as the games title evokes. What makes it especially fun is that it seems like the game knows this and everytime you beat the crud out of the entire population of the games stages, you get a little bit of exposition that prepares to detail some semblance of clarity on what the heck is actually going on, only to have it swiped away from you with some kinda ridiculous emergency you have to solve by hand to hand combat with another few hundred bad guys and mutated dinosaurs in another ludicrously disconnected location from the last crazy place you were just in.
I didn't expect to like the game as much as I did, but the game played so well I almost didn't believe it was made in 1994.

Yes, Caddilacs and Dinosaurs is great! One of the best beat em ups I was playing when I first got Mame. Another one is Punisher.

I am mostly a "Golden Axe" guy, but I do have "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs" in my MAME collection, and at least two friends of mine are very fond of it.
Seems like I should play it one day soon. 8-)

Yeah, it's a really good beat'em up game, me and my cousin and our friends played a lot of it during the 90s at the little arcade in the bar where we are at holiday (there was 2 other bigger arcade lounges in a different town near the one we are).
Played a lot of it when MAME came out more years later. I have the soundtrack album lying in my pc, sometimes i hear it again.
