Over the weekend, we were browsing the 20-million-or-so emulated games on my roomie’s modded XBox, and we stumbled upon the 1993 Capcom anti-classic, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. It reminded us of a peanut butter & birthday cake sandwich, so we decided to take a bite.
It took us roughly 25 minutes to beat the entire game.
It’s pretty much exactly like Final Fight, except you beat up dinosaurs and extremely gay bosses. A severely worthless plot, which makes me laugh that they got it from a comic book. At the end, the stupid laboratory blows up, and it makes you think only two of your peeps survive, but then the other two drive up in a Caddy with tunes blastin’ and they all go home.
Wicked retahded, but it’s pretty satisfying to blow up a triceratops with a rocket launcher. Highly recommended. Also check out: Burnout 3 (the sweetest game ever)

For some inexplicable reason, they even made a movie

Whoever came up with the concept for this game is a genius. Landing roundhouse kicks to dinosaurs and headbutting gay dudes with ridiculous names was the most invigorating experience of my life.

We need to play and beat every single Final Fight clone that we can find. And we’ll get 30 minutes to do it.
