Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

After the War

After a nuclear war, Manhattan has become a lawless wasteland. Play as Jonathan "Jungle" Rogers, battling feral thieves in a gritty side‑scrolling beat‑em‑up as you race toward the airdrop platform XV‑238. The second act shifts to a side‑view shoot‑'em‑up where you must confront the guardians of Professor McJerin's scientific complex. Released in 1989 by Dinamic Software, the game blends classic hack‑and‑slash action with retro shooter mechanics, delivering a single‑player experience that challenges players to master both melee combat and precise shooting in a post‑apocalyptic setting.

Rampage

Rampage lets you control massive mutated creatures on a mission to demolish everything in sight. Crush buildings, topple vehicles, and uncover hidden items as you wreak havoc across each level. The classic arcade experience blends simple controls with destructive fun, perfect for quick sessions or extended monster mayhem. The game supports both solo play and competitive multiplayer, letting friends join the rampage together. With its retro graphics and timeless gameplay, Rampage remains a beloved title for fans of chaotic, sci‑fi beat ’em up action.

Dino Crisis 2

Dino Crisis 2 shifts the series from survival horror to an adrenaline‑filled shoot‑em‑up, putting players in constant motion as Regina and Dylan battle prehistoric threats. The game introduces new dinosaur species, dual‑wield weapons, and a seamless character‑switch mechanic to keep the action relentless.

The King of Dragons

The King of Dragons is a 1991 Capcom arcade title that blends hack‑and‑slash action with role‑playing progression. Players battle through 16 short but challenging levels, earning experience points from monsters and gold to level up, boosting health, range, and granting brief invulnerability. The game features three playable characters, each with unique weapons, shields, and magical attacks activated by a simple two‑button control scheme. Hidden Yashichi power‑ups provide extra continues, and cooperative play lets friends join the fantasy quest together.

Cliffridge

Cliffhanger is a classic 1993 side‑scrolling beat ’em up based on the Stallone film. Players control Sly as he scales cliffs, dodges avalanches, and fights armed crooks while hunting stolen cash hidden in the mountains. The game mixes traditional hand‑to‑hand combat with occasional snow‑boarding sections on the Sega CD version, and features animated cutscenes that follow the movie’s plot. The combat system follows the Final Fight formula but with a limited move set and less precise hits. Levels alternate between natural hazards—such as scaling cliffs or leaping gaps—and locked‑screen fighting segments, delivering a varied but challenging arcade experience.

Cadash

Cadash blends fast‑paced platform combat with deep RPG mechanics, letting players choose from four distinct heroes—fighter, mage, priestess, or ninja—and develop their stats, magic, and equipment as they explore five sprawling stages. The game’s fantasy world pits you against mythic monsters, hidden treasures, and the demonic Balrog in a quest to rescue Princess Salassa from Castle Cadash.
