MiSTer FPGA – Cadillacs and Dinosaurs [2 Player] / Capcom CPS-1.5 Arcade

I returned to this one recently with a friend and played through, and as expected it was a blast. This supports up to three players if you want to get even crazier with it. Really awesome Beat ’em up, that fans of the genre (or fans of co-op in general) should give a try!

A game like this can seem very « same-y », with similar enemies across the set of stages– but its the constant flow of moves and combos, and how you use them, that makes the game feel fresh and entertaining from start to finish IMO. Also included are character-combo moves, much like in the Simpsons arcade game. You’ll want to check online for a moves list on this one, as there is a surprising amount of depth here:

While it might not be up to the level of graphical flair in games like The Punisher: https://youtu.be/SFevyEcmeKc , there is still a lot of fun to be had here. My best advice is to swap characters regularly when learning the game to experience the different mechanics of the players, and find one that fits your style best. They are all very unique.
