They go there and clear out the garage from the gangsters, eventually confronting and defeating their leader Slice and regaining control of their garage. After defeating Hogg, Jack realizes that the gangsters have taken over his garage. Proceeding with the mission, the heroes go through the desert of death, where they use their car to travel safely, but then the car is chased by Hogg on his cruiser motorcycle. Meanwhile, another big name in the hunting network, Hogg, realizes that Jack is busy in the swamp forest and decides to take over Jack's Garage. Following the information, they go through the swamp forest where they find a lot of dead dinosaurs before reaching and defeating the Butcher. After being beaten, Vice tells them about Butcher, who had been hunting in the northern woods. As they reach the top of a building they fight Vice Terhune. The protagonists journey to the "City in the Sea" where they suspect the whole hunting network being operating from. Four heroes: mechanic and shaman Jack Tenrec, diplomat and explorer by profession Hannah Dundee, friend and engineer Mustapha Cairo, and mysterious Mess O'Bradovich, have decided to team up against the Black Marketeers. The continuous hunting process has made the dinosaurs violent and now they have started attacking villages and people. The story begins in the 26th century, when an ensemble gang called the Black Marketeers begin hunting the dinosaurs to serve their unknown purpose. Unless the game is continued within a countdown of 20 seconds, the baddie fires his gun, leading to a game over. When the player loses along the way, one of the big baddies holds a gun point-blank to the losing player's face in a first-person view, taunting the player with sayings such as "Eat lead, baby!". Players can also find and use various firearms, throwing weapons such as rocks and explosives, and melee weapons such as clubs. Each character has two special moves including one that depletes a character's health upon contact with an enemy and when two or more players play together, they can trigger a team-attack. The players have access to several attacks. The game's titular dinosaurs make appearances as neutral characters that may attack both player characters and enemies. There are four playable characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses: Jack (balanced type), Hannah (skill type), Mustapha (speed type), and Mess (power type). Although he is gentle towards Jack and his comrades, Hermes can still be rather fierce when angered.Ĭadillacs and Dinosaurs has a total of 13 episodes spread over 1 season that were produced from September 1993 to January 1994.Up to three players can play at once, guiding their selected characters through eight stages, battling various enemies and bosses. Hermes - A juvenile "Cutter" (Allosaurus) that was raised by Jack. Virgo (voiced by David Fox) - Virgo serves as the City in the Sea's ferryman, stocking the city with fresh water and transporting folk to the mainland and back. Mustapha Cairo (voiced by Bruce Tubbe) - Jack's companion and fellow mechanic who often helps Jack in his adventures. She and Jack have some degree of respect and/or affection for each other, but often they're too busy being snarky for it to go anywhere. She effectively serves as Jack's partner, supplying a level-headed opinion to his often outlandish ideas. Hannah Dundee (voiced by Susan Roman) - A foreign ambassador and self-proclaimed scientist from Wasoon. Jack's main goal in life is to make sure humanity treats the environment and its occupants with respect, which results in plenty of run-ins with violent poachers, corrupt politicians, mad scientists and, on occasion, killer robots. Jack Tenrec (voiced by David Keeley) - A survival-savvy mechanic with a passion for restoring classic car shells (mainly those of Cadillacs). With obstacles like Wilhelmina Scharnhorst, the governor of the City by the Sea, and the Terhune brothers, who head a band of poachers, Tenrec and his allies have their work cut out for them. Mechanics are among the most revered of the tribes because of their understanding of machinery, and Jack Tenrec is among the most respected of the Mechanics.Īided by scientist/diplomat Hannah Dundee from nearby Wassoon as well as fellow Mechanics Mustapha and Kirgo, Jack strives to use the teachings of the mysterious Grith to preserve the "machinato vitae" - the "machinery of life" - by convincing the expansion-hungry humans that they have to work with nature, not against it. With much of man's technological knowledge lost, people are forced to relearn as much of the old ways as they can. Dinosaurs have reclaimed the Earth, and mankind is struggling to regain a toehold on the world it once ruled. 4 International television broadcast historyĬadillacs and Dinosaurs takes place in a post-apocalyptic 26th century.
