- TRIVIA -
Released in February 1993.
This game is known in Japan as "Cadillacs Kyouryuu Shin Seiki [CP-S No. 25]" (Translates from Japanese as 'Cadillacs New Dinosaur Century').
There is also an unofficial Chinese version known as "Dinosaur Hunter".
This game is very famous by the name "Mustapha's game" (the main character of the game) in Asia.
Characters based upon the comic 'Xenozoic Tales' created in the late eighties by Mark Schultz.
There is a modified version of this game (hack?), in which certain gun(s) have unlimited ammo.
Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Tenchi Wo Kurau II : G.S.M. Capcom 7 - PCCB-00133) on 20/08/1993.
- UPDATES -
During the storyline, the Japanese version has a scrolling effect on the text. All other versions have no such effect.
The US version is slightly different, it has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen.
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
On the 2nd and 5th stages, there appears a large dinosaur called a Shivat that's sleeping when first encountered. Try to keep the human enemies from whacking them to wake them up. While the Shivats do attack the enemies, they can also cause trouble (and injuries) for the players.
There are also some pterodactyl-like flying creatures that need to be struck by jumping to reach them. Whenever you drain the energy from any menacing dinosaurs, they slightly change color, then become harmless.
On the 3rd stage, where you're driving Jack's Cadillac, try to dodge the grenades thrown by the stage's motorcycle-riding boss, Hogg, while crashing into him with the car. If you're good at this, you should be able to at least reduce his energy to the yellow level, the lowest for the enemies.
On the 6th stage, there's 2 points at where you need to be careful not to be stomped on by the legs of a brontosaurus. But, try to lure some of the other enemies underneath them instead!

- 0.144u2: Kold666 dumped and added Q-Sound PALs and CD63B.1A PAL to Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World 930201) and clone (USA 930201).

No good dumps of the PICs exist, and this is mainly for reference so that we don't forget the graphic rom loading on them. They don't work. They're basically the same set from different PCBs, so one will probably be removed eventually.
- 19th February 2008: f205v dumped Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (bootleg with PIC16c57, set 1).
- 9th September 2007: Mr. Do - Some more instruction cards for more games courtesty of Tormod: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
- 21st March 2005: Corrado Tomaselli dumped Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (bootleg with PIC16c57, set 2).

Some of the later CPS1 games utilizing the Q-sound system are now working (such as Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Punisher and Warriors of Fate), and a few minor bugs have been fixed. No sound though, because the Q-sound roms are encrypted. Information about 'Kabuki' encryption system is very welcome.
- 12th February 1999: Russell Nash has added these CPS1 games: Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Warriors of Fate and Muscle Bomber Duo.
- 12th November 1997: CaBBe dumped Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World 930201).
