Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is a 2D side scrolling beat'em up, based on the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs animated series. The game has 4 playable characters: Jack Tenrec, Hannah Dundee, Mustapha Cairo and Mess O'Bradovich. Gameplay is similar to Capcom's other beat'em ups (for example Final Fight) — players go right, fight against enemies and bosses, collect bonuses and weapons (knives, UZIs etc). In one level, players get into the Cadillac, and can squash enemies.
