I read somewhere that they can't due to license issue and that the issue is from Cadillac, not with the comic/cartoon. But it may be just a random rumor from the internet.This is a great game. Usually this is one of the games fans always ask for in those Capcom arcade collections which tehy never release. Maybe licensing issues?
As I remember a very young Elon Musk did work in that game, or at least in the company that made that game.there's also an FMV cadillacs and dinosaurs sega cd game
The game is amazing, a classic from the arcades. One of the best beat'em up ever made.

Going back to some of them now through emulation makes you realize they are actually a bit underwhelming, by today's standards. Fine tuning aside (which is precisely what made the difference between the good and the bad ones) they all played the fucking same, and it's not like they had that much depth to begin with.Yeah, they were amazing.
I loved those type of arcades back then.
Wish I still had this poster.
That was obvious even at the time, they were pretty much all Final Fight reskinned. But still, different times.they all played the fucking same
I am 34. From the responses I'm seeing here the game is definitely famous in most countries but not in Kuwait or the Arab region. I verified with some of my friends who play games and they confirmed that they never heard of it.You must be very young OP because this was a well known game back in the day.
I agree, those that have limited move sets (usually: walk, jump, punch, jump kick) are getting boring quite fast besides having nice graphics and music for its time. However Capcom's AvP is still one of the best if not the best of them all in this genre. After 1994, IMO, nothing better was created than it nor anything to match it up.Going back to some of them now through emulation makes you realize they are actually a bit underwhelming, by today's standards.

They also all tend to become complete bullshit by the late stages in an attempt to milk tons of credits from the player.
Two weeks ago my friend brought a plug in twin arcade stick with arcade games in it. We wanted to play a co-op game and we found a game called Cadillac and Dinosaurs. I was surprised by the weird name and I also was surprised that it was made by CAPCOM and I never heard about it before. The game is a beat em up where the protagnists drive a classic Cadillac at the begining of the stage and then fight enemies including dinosaurs. This 1993 game is a typical CAPCOM beat em up released in that era. It was never ported or rereleasd on any console.
After that I did a little research and found out that the game is based on a cartoon show that is based on a comic called Xenozoic Tales.
I have few questions:
- Have you heard about this game or cartoon before?
- Do we have other examples of games with brand/company name in the title?
Here is episode 1 of the cartoon:

Great game. I wish it was on that Capcom arcade collection.
In terms of beat'em ups - Guardian Heroes has yet to be dethroned. Amazing that no one really ran with the gameplay ideas of that game. No one can really mimic Treasure it seems...
I love the Capcom beat'em ups to death but they just hit a steel wall in the gameplay dept. So limiting and basic. Since the games were designed to eat quarters - you cant play the game with any real skill. Fighting bosses is just a crapshoot.I was always kinda disappointed by Guardian Heroes, after all the hype. Mechanically, it just isn't all that satisfying to actually hit dudes. And I didn't really like playing as most of the characters... Han was alright, but kinda too slow. Serena was fun (the girl with the green hair, I think that was her name), but I recall that you have to unlock her first. I like the branching paths and that they have a couple other gameplay systems in the background, but the core loop could've been better. Just didn't measure up to Capcom's beat-em-ups for me.
Alien vs. Predator takes the Cadillac and Dinosaurs gameplay to the next level. The most satisfying thing is bouncing back and forward between multiple aliens.
I played it with my boys and we had fun. It's not as snappy as it's 2d predecessors, but it's still button mashing fun and slamming the shell power button makes you feel like a badass.Speaking of beat'em ups, have any of you guys seen the new TMNT game? It's at one of my local arcades but I haven't played it yet, very reminiscent of the original games.
