About Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm
You find yourself in the so-called Xenozoic Age - after a cataclysm in 2020 A.D., mankind was forced to hide beneath the surface. Once it could come out again, it found the world terribly changed, with dinosaurs roaming freely once again. A mysterious mutant-like race, called the Grith, believe the cataclysm was caused by the upsetting of the natural balance. Now, the leader of the restored City in the Sea, Scharnhorst, is using old technology and disrupting the balance again. The Girth chose you, Jack Tenrec, and your partner Hannah Dundee, to rid the world of Scharnhorst. And you get to do it in a red '53 Cadillac with mounted machine guns. While you're at the task, you must battle hungry, mean dinosaurs, but also be careful not to upset the balance of nature. Also, try not to upset your volcanic-energy fueled caddy by hitting too much obstacles along the way.

A Cadillac-driving shooter from Rocket Science built on a comic series, notable more for its movement and look than its variety.
This is the Sega CD game Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: The Second Cataclysm, developed and published by Rocket Science Games and released in North America in 1994. It is based on the Xenozoic Tales comic and the Mark Schultz graphic novels, and it is a rail shooter in which you drive a Cadillac through a prehistoric future world of jungle, dinosaurs and outlaws.
In its preview, Mean Machines described ten levels of reaction-testing play, shooting and steaming through dinosaurs and mutant poachers, in what Rocket Science claimed was a unique into-the-screen environment. GameFan compared the view to an Out Run perspective.
What the press said at the time
| Next Generation Issue 3 | March 1995 | Rating: * * * |
“However, on balance, it's smooth, fast and exciting, and what more could you ask for?”
“But the game is basically just another Shooter. The game is best with two players — one steers and the other shoots.”
