Here’s the long story behind and its connection to the Internet Archive . 1. The Game Itself: A ’90s Arcade Classic Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is a beat-’em-up arcade game released by Capcom in 1993 . It’s based on the comic series Xenozoic Tales by Mark Schultz. The game features four playable characters (Jack, Hannah, Mustapha, and Mess) fighting through a post-apocalyptic world where dinosaurs have returned and humanity survives in underground cities. What made it famous: you could drive Cadillacs and use them as weapons, alongside machine guns, dynamite, and even dinosaurs as allies.

This means the arcade ROM is — but it’s also not legally freeware. It exists in a gray area: copyright is still active, but no company is selling it. 3. The Internet Archive’s Role The Internet Archive (archive.org) hosts a massive collection of emulated arcade games playable directly in your browser via MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). Among them is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs .
