help me identify a game

[RaNkeri]

ok, so I remember that as a little kid I once played this beat 'em up style arcade game that had something to do with dinosaurs.

I especially remember a boss fight where this beefy badguy whacks a dinosaurus with two swords before he notices you and attacks you. I also remember that one of the playable characters was black, with yellow cap, green jacket and jeans, and another one was a brown haired muscle man.

Also, the game had many pick up-able items and weapons. One special item was a radio transmitter which allowed you to contact your friends, who'll give you a ride in a car for few secs, while running over all the bad guys during the ride.

Does this ring any bells?

[camacazio]

Looks like shit.

[RaNkeri]

That's how the games used to look before PS, kiddo'

[CheapAlert]

XXXX YOU!!!

[Fathom Zero]

I love Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
I remember playing it in an arcade oh so long ago.
Good thing I have the emu on my X-Box.

[Mockery]

Holy shit. I've never seen this game before. This looks like review fodder for sure. What systems was it on? I gotta get some roms of this bad boy.

[the_dudefather]

arcade (and dreamcast it seems)

think there might of been a cartoon series of it at some stage too

[thebiggameover]

didnt this start out as a comic?

CPS1 (Arcade (MAME, Kawaks, etc) and Sega CD.

It's an excellent game, you'll love its excessive violence and moments (especially the unmistakable celebrity references in the ending). It's also rather chaotic with three players playing at once.

didnt this start out as a comic?

yep, Xenozoic Tales

[RaNkeri]

Rog I tell ya, you have to try this one out. One of the best arcade beat 'em ups ever done and deserves it's place among Golden Axes and The Punisher.

[Mockery]

Alrighty, I'm sold. Which version is the best and where can I get the rom? I haven't downloaded any new ones in quite a while so I don't know what sites are still good for that shit. Planetemu?

I am unsure of which is the best, but I'll have to check which version is on my X-Box, as it runs fairly smooth.

The CPS1 version is obviously the best one since it's released on that first (besides, tell me a superior genesis port of a capcom game)

yes, the french are right

[Mockery]

Yeah arcade is always great, I just gotta reinstall mame on my other computer and then try to remember how to take screenshots with it. Haven't played a Mame rom in a while. Plus I'm not sure if you can turn on and off layers in Mame like you can with a Genesis ROM. You know, like if you want to turn off all the foreground sprites so you can take a screenshot of the background graphics or vice versa. Does anyone know?

[Girl Drink Drunk]

It's most likely because I've never lived in walking distance of an arcade, and that the ones that I've played in the past have had low sound, but I'm not a big fan of arcade games. I do like some of them, however, when I usually play them in a collection or anothology game, It feels like the console version is better. Anyways, I am not sure if it was the game or cartoon that came first, but I have COMPLETELY forgotten about that cartoon for at least 7 years.

Use Kawaks to play it instead? It has a 'shot factory' which can help you disable pieces of art more easily.

[Mockery]

Does Kawaks support the same roms that Mame does basically? If so, sounds like I might have to try it then.

[James]

But does Kawaks have online play? >:

No, Kawaks is only specialized for NeoGeo, CPS1 and CPS2 games.

But does Kawaks have online play? >:

Yes.

Good Lord, I remember playing this in arcades... I also remember the comic, and cartoon. *Nonstalgia*...[/i]

[GADZOOKS]

I bet you never saw it in your life.

[CheapAlert]

I never watched it either, because CBS's saturdays sucked.


EXCEPT FOR BACK TO THE FUTURE THE ANIMATED SERIES

[ArrowX]

o I saw it, I remember a few episodes. The First Episode had a bunch of guys using a Mind Control Device on a T-Rex, another one the main characters find a Cyborg who had been trapped underground, the Best one I remember was the one when the Plesiasaur makes a nest in the sewers beneath a city.

[Grislygus]

Damn, you're a better fan than I was. All I can remember is that bigpink cadillac and the main character complaining about "getting a scratch on it."

[ArrowX]

The one Jack drove was red. >:

I just remembered Hermes, the allosaur and the Dinosaur people who communicated with Scrabble. lol

The worst part is that the Cartoon died unknown with only a Movie and 26 episodes. Wich is a shame because it har really nice animation and it was a blast to watch. I was being aired on Teletoon for at least a year.

Well, I'll be durned... I always thought it was a coloring error in the comics.
