Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (bootleg set 1 (with PIC16c57), 930201 etc) [Bootleg, No sound]

This Cadillacs and Dinosaurs no-sound bootleg plays exactly like the official arcade release, so you can follow these tips to beat all 8 levels even without audio cues. First, choose your character based on your playstyle: Mustapha Cairo has the highest movement and attack speed, making him the best option for new players, while Mess O'Bradovich deals the most damage per hit but has slower movement, ideal for experienced players who prefer high-risk high-reward play. Jack Tenrec is the well-balanced all-rounder, and Hannah Dundee has the best range for using ranged weapons like rifles and rocket launchers. Control-wise, use the 8-way joystick to move your character, with three core buttons: attack, jump, and special attack. Combine attack and jump at the same time to trigger a wide-range area attack that knocks back all surrounding enemies, though note this will consume a small portion of your health, so only use it when you are surrounded by groups of enemies. You can also trigger longer combo chains by pressing the attack button three times in a row, pausing for half a second, then pressing attack again to land a heavy finishing blow. Since there is no audio to alert you of hidden items, make sure to break every barrel, crate, and background object you find across stages, as these hold health restoration items, weapons, and bonus score pickups. One critical rule to remember: never attack passive herbivore dinosaurs you encounter in levels, as they will turn hostile and attack you immediately if provoked, dealing massive avoidable damage. For boss fights, save all your ranged weapons until you face the boss, as these deal far more damage than standard melee attacks, cutting down boss fight time significantly. Watch for visual cues like a short pause in boss movement or color flash to dodge heavy attacks in time.
