Story Breakdown: Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (Arcade & Sega CD)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

When it comes to post-apocalyptic hellscapes, everybody expects zombies and mutants. But in the mind of Mark Schultz, a pollution-ravaged Earth was the perfect time to reintroduce dinosaurs. That's right, we're talking about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, the thirty-year-old comic book series that eventually led to a short-lived cartoon series on CBS. It was also the star of two completely different video games -- an old school beat 'em up from Capcom and an on-rails shooter by Rocket Science Games. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the stories and endings for both Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in the arcades and The Second Cataclysm on Sega CD. This is Game Over: The Early Years.


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!
