Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, also known as Dinosaur New Century, is a side‑scrolling beat‑'em‑up arcade title released by Capcom in 1993 on the CPS‑1 hardware. Adapted from the American comic book Xenozoic Tales, it ranks among the four great CPS‑1 arcade classics and was hugely popular in 1990s arcades. Set in a post‑apocalyptic 26th‑century world, humanity returns to the surface after climate collapse, only to find dinosaurs roaming the earth. The plot follows four protagonists opposing mad scientist Fessenden, who plans to conquer the world with genetically modified dinosaur creatures. The game features eight stages and supports up to three‑player co‑op. Four playable characters Jack, Hannah, Mustapha and Max differ greatly in speed, strength and move‑sets. It boasts an innovative item system: firearms have limited ammo and turn into throw‑able weapons once empty. Barrels and boulders can be picked up and hurled, and players can even seize boss weapons for counterattacks. A rich combat toolkit includes punches, kicks and running tackles, delivering satisfying arcade‑style combat. Each stage hosts unique bosses alongside dinosaurs, mutants and human foes across jungles, mines, deserts and ruined cities. It never received an official home‑console port; the original arcade build is widely preserved and playable via MAME emulators, remaining a cherished arcade memory for generations of retro‑game fans.

Das sind die Standardtasten. Jedes Arcade-Board hat unterschiedlich viele Tasten und meint Unterschiedliches damit. Oben stehen die Tasten 1–6 des Boards: auf Neo Geo (The King of Fighters und Co.) sind A/B/C/D die Tasten 1–4, Metal Slug nutzt nur 1, 2 und 4 (Schuss / Sprung / Granate), und Pac-Man gar keine. Sechs-Tasten-Prügler mit drei Schlägen und drei Tritten (etwa Street Fighter II) bekommen vom Kern ein anderes Layout: leichter Schlag U, mittlerer Schlag I, schwerer Schlag Q, leichter Tritt J, mittlerer Tritt K, schwerer Tritt E. Klicke im Player auf das Gamepad-Symbol 🎮 und dann auf „Tasten belegen“, um die Tastenbelegung des Emulators zu öffnen (Tastatur und Gamepad, wird automatisch gespeichert). Gamepads werden automatisch erkannt. Auf dem Handy bekommst du Bildschirmtasten.
