Beat Em Up Month kicks off with a game most people have never heard of - Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. A 1993 Capcom arcade classic set in a post apocalyptic world where humans and dinosaurs coexist. Four playable characters, creative bosses and dinosaur DNA fusion.

Does it unlock the Achievement?

Also - my favourite arcade memory involves a place called Topo Gigos and The Simpsons. More on that inside.

Platformer Month ends with a bonus episode - and we're heading to the Game Boy Advance for the first time. Klonoa: Empire of Dreams is a 2001 Namco puzzle platformer that most people have never heard of. Charming, whimsical and genuinely well designed. But does it unlock the Achievement?

Also - Platformer Month is officially wrapped. Two unlocked, three locked. The search continues.

Platformer Month reaches its finale (sort of) - and I saved the best for last. Contra Hard Corps on the Sega Genesis. Fast, brutal, relentless and absolutely wild from start to finish. After three episodes I needed a hero. Did I find one?

I'm a Nintendo guy. Make of that what you will.
