After the War vs Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

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.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is a side‑scrolling beat ’em up arcade game set in a post‑apocalyptic world where humans and dinosaurs clash. Players choose from Jack, Hannah, Mustapha, or Mess and battle through the City in the Sea and surrounding jungles to stop the Black Marketeers’ dinosaur‑hunting plot. The game features a mix of melee attacks, firearms, and special moves, including health‑draining strikes and cooperative team attacks for up to two players. The arcade classic, released by Capcom in 1993, offers both single‑player and split‑screen co‑op modes, delivering fast‑paced action, diverse weapons, and memorable comic‑book inspired visuals that capture the gritty, high‑octane spirit of the Xenozoic Tales series.
