Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (bootleg set 5 (with PIC16c57), 930223 Asia TW) [Bootleg]

First launched by Japanese gaming giant Capcom in 1993, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (also widely known as Mustapha among retro gaming fans) is one of the most beloved side-scrolling beat 'em up arcade titles of all time. Based on the popular *Xenozoic Tales* comic series, the game is set in a post-apocalyptic 26th century, where humans and dinosaurs coexist after a series of global disasters wiped out modern civilization. Players take control of one of four unique playable characters: Jack Tenrec, a skilled mechanic and Cadillac enthusiast, Hannah Dundee, a sharp-witted scientist, Mustapha Cairo, a fast and agile athlete, and Mess O'Bradovich, a brute-force brawler, as they fight to stop a rogue criminal syndicate from harvesting dinosaur DNA to create dangerous bioweapons. The specific ROM version featured here is the bootleg set 5, dated 930223 (February 23, 1993) for the Asia Taiwan market, integrated with a PIC16c57 chip to bypass the original Capcom arcade board’s copy protection.

Game Guide

Whether you are a first-time player or a returning retro fan, these tips will help you beat all 8 levels of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs bootleg set 5 easily. First, start with choosing the right character for your playstyle: if you are new to the game, pick Mustapha Cairo, who boasts the fastest movement speed, balanced attack damage, and easy-to-execute combos that work for both crowd control and boss fights. If you prefer high-damage play, Mess O'Bradovich is your best pick, as his heavy attacks can knock out most common enemies in 2 hits, though his slow movement speed makes him harder to dodge enemy attacks. Jack Tenrec is the all-around balanced option for most players, while Hannah Dundee is recommended for advanced players who prioritize fast attack speed over raw damage. For core combat mechanics, remember these key tricks: tap the attack button 4 times in a row to trigger a full basic combo that knocks down most enemies, and press attack and jump at the same time to activate a special area-of-effect attack that knocks back all surrounding enemies – this is perfect for getting out of trouble when you are surrounded by a horde of foes. You can also hold down the attack button for 2 seconds and release to trigger a charged heavy attack that hits enemies in a straight line. When progressing through levels, avoid attacking neutral dinosaurs that are not targeting you, as they will turn hostile and deal massive damage if provoked. Save high-tier weapons like the rocket launcher, assault rifle, and shotgun for boss fights instead of wasting them on common grunts, as these weapons can cut boss fight time in half. For specific boss fights: the first stage boss, the Butcher, has a slow but high-damage jumping slash, so always move behind him to attack instead of facing him head-on. The stage 4 double mutant boss fight requires you to separate the two monsters and take them down one at a time, as fighting both at once will almost always lead to you taking unnecessary dama
