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.

Questi sono i tasti predefiniti. Ogni scheda arcade ha un numero di tasti diverso e attribuisce loro significati diversi. Sopra trovi i tasti da 1 a 6 della scheda: sulle Neo Geo (The King of Fighters e affini) A/B/C/D sono i tasti 1–4, Metal Slug usa solo 1, 2 e 4 (sparo / salto / granata) e Pac-Man non ne usa nessuno. I picchiaduro a sei tasti con tre pugni e tre calci (Street Fighter II e simili) ricevono dal core un altro schema: pugno debole U, pugno medio I, pugno forte Q, calcio debole J, calcio medio K, calcio forte E. Fai clic sull’icona del gamepad 🎮 nella barra del player, poi su «Rimappa i tasti» per aprire le impostazioni dei controlli dell’emulatore (tastiera e gamepad, salvate automaticamente). I gamepad vengono rilevati in automatico. Su smartphone compaiono i pulsanti a schermo.
