Another arcade exclusive, but one of Capcom's finest. Excellent gameplay that is a refinement of the Final Fight formula with dash moves, knives and guns.

I voted for this because its on the multicart that turns out was filled with jammafied diarrhea. So I'll try to find it on mame.

Can anyone tell me why it's so well liked?

 

[totoro]

One of the best games ever.
Too bad it is that hard to find the original cps board

 

[Tyranix95]

It's the Final Fight formula with dash moves, knives and guns, except this time you can play Jessica (Hanna) and drive a car and run people over.

You're filled with diarrhea.

"As opposed to most prior Capcom beat-em-ups, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs has pretty decent character specific movesets. Each character has specials, multiple dashing moves (including the ability to dash left and right), aerial attacks, and more combos than most of its predecessors....Among other weapons, there are torches, rocks, knives, grenades, and several types of firearms."

There's an answer I found.

You're filled with diarrhea.

Random aggression or are you actually defending the shit box from china?

 

[kuze]

He does it for teh lulz.

Tried this game on the yellow turd... Totally awful.

Might have to give it a shot on MAME though!

 

[Beelzebub]

Hooking up the MAMEbox right now and about to play me some C&D. Friggin' love this game. I just wish I had the actual PCB.

Random aggression or are you actually defending the shit box from china?

Nah, he's just talking shit.

Neither. I don't know what the shit box from china is either.

Read on in pure suspense and amazement as a group of well meaning arcade enthusiasts go for the emotional rollercoaster ride of a lifetime.

The thread is great. There's the clear optimists and pessimists. There's the enablers. You'll laugh. You'll probably not cry, but maybe laugh some more. I'd say it's the thread of the year and the drama isn't even over yet.

Jeneki - 590,100 - 4 - Captain YELLOW PANTS (Mustapha)

codecrank - 494,000 - 4 - Jack

[jepjepjep]

Good start guys! Updated.

 

[jepjepjep]

I do not like Slice.

jepjepjep - 574,400 - 4 - Jack

 

[Mendel]

I´ll have to check if I got this on coinops5

 

[jepjepjep]

This time I got past Slice without a problem, but the St.5 boss got me.

jepjepjep - 892,800 - 5 - Jack

 

[Tyranix95]

Ok,

Tyranix95 - 621,800 - 4 (Boss) - Mess.

Got to Slice, twice. But got a boomerang in the back both times.

 

[andsuchisdeath]

andsuchisdeath - 1,692,500 - 7 - Mess

 

[Tyranix95]

Ok, so what happened on Stage 4 that took you a few tries?

 

[Beelzebub]

Ok, so what happened on Stage 4 that took you a few tries?

Probably Slice, that guy is a bastard.

Beelzebub - 687,400 - 4 (Boss) - Mustapha

 

[jepjepjep]

Nice scores guys. Updated.

No Hannah players yet?

 

[andsuchisdeath]

@Tyranix + Beelzebub.

Yeah, just trying different Slice techniques.

 

[jepjepjep]

For the Slice battle, playing with Jack, the slide seems to be the only safe attack (at least that I've found). I also try to be clever with the section before so that I can enter with a machine gun and full clip.

Slice is a piece of cake if you pit him in a corner he can't do anything !
