Based on the comic Xenozoic Tales and a tie-in to an animated series of the same name, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs takes place in a pulpy dystopian future where humanity has been driven underground and dinosaurs have returned to rule the Earth. The game sends mechanic Jack Tenrec, scientist Hannah Dundee and others in pursuit of the mysterious Black Marketeers, within a beat-em-up world that resembles Final Fight if it had machine guns, cars and, of course, dinosaurs. The story takes several twists and turns, but the fighting action stays fairly consistent throughout, sending waves of baddies and a shapeshifting villain for you to punch into oblivion.
