Just for my personal pride, I would like to state that the father of my children was the first american druid in diablo to clear abattoir of zir and ended that season as best in the USA. He was also ranking in Polytopia, and beat Felix himself at the game. I did observe these things with my own eyes. There are other witnesses who can verify this. That is all.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Hard to believe a game with that title could suck lol

Single season TV show that came out of the 90s enthusiasm for adapting random comic books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillacs_and_Dinosaurs_(TV_series)

Interestingly, Wikipedia makes it seem like the game made it out the door first

There was an arcade beat-'em-up simply called Cadillacs and Dinosaurs which I believe is considered pretty good. I remember watching the show as a kid and enjoying it, but that could have just been lower standards at the time. After all, I have a sneaking regard for the pretty corny BattleTech cartoon that was released around the same time...

I'm pretty sure it's impossible for a TV show called Cadillacs and Dinosaurs to suck even if they tried.

Like here look at me trying to come up with a bad episode idea

Two people out for a picnic on the mesa. They are eating their sandwiches when suddenly one of them hears the distant but unmistakable sound of a dinosaur stampede. She thinks maybe it'll be fine. The dinosaurs don't tend to venture this far north. But they look and the stampede is heading right for them.

To make matters worse their 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville's is having trouble running due to an improper gasoline mixture (in an emergency they had to make their own gas from a dinosaur). They have no choice but to get some anti-dinosaur weapons out of the vehicle's spacious trunk. They manage to fend off some of the dinosaur scouts with some pre-1994-ban assault rifles. But can they make it to the garage to warn them, and tune up their Cadillac, in time?
