I have never read the comics or watched the show, but I have seen this beat em up game featured on several lists and it was on my emulator so I gave it a shot and it was a lot of fun! I liked the visuals, the music and the game play. Though it is a beat em up and those have the nasty habit of being nearly impossible to play through without getting hit a lot, especially arcade ones as they were made to munch on quarters; however that being said this one is a bit more fair than most aside from a certain boomerang throwing boss...
The story, not sure, but three guys and a girl are out to beat up a lot of bad dudes who are poaching dinosaurs. Seems a mad doctor (doctors are always a bit mad in video games) is trying to create bizarre human/mutants. He seems to be succeeding, even creating Blanco from Street Fighter fame. Well that won't make our heroes quit on their quest to stop him, even using their Cadillac to take them out!
The game play is a beat em up, but it has a few nice touches as you can get firearms and blast enemies, there are dinosaurs present making the visuals more unique than most beat em up games and a nice number of health items and one ups to keep you going. The cheapest boss though is this boomerang guy who is tough and then you have to fight two of them later. Suffice to say if I were spending quarters, that second encounter with two of them would have been the end!
So a fun game, I only wish I could have played this with another person; unfortunately, I do not have any friends aside from my cats and they cannot play. I have been playing a lot of beat em up arcade games of old and there is such a wide variety that I feel cheated as the arcades I generally frequented only had the basics like Double Dragon or maybe Final Fight. Two good games, but it would have been cool to play this one.
