Does anyone remember these comics and cartoon series? When i was younger i was really into dinosaurs, i lost count how many times i saw Jurassic Park at the cinema. Cadillacs & Dinosaurs was a cool cartoon on TV, i was unaware until later it was based on a comic which i can highly recomend.

It was set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where after living underground for years the survivers of masses of natural disasters resurface to find dinosaurs, mammoths and prehistoric jungle life have returned. As the name implies there were lots of cars and dinosaurs which was cool.

I think this would make a great setting for a roleplay game and would even make a great skirmish game, who wouldn't like to have a high speed shoot out while being chased by dinosaurs.
 
There was a version of this back in the 90's. GDW,the designers of Twilight 2000, released it around the same time as they did Dark Conspiracy. 8) You can still pick it up occasionally on e-bay.
I enjoyed it back then and would enjoy it now, though whether to use MRQ or Traveller is the question.
 
I actually got the GDW rpg for a couple of pounds on ebay a few years back, it's great for fluff, especially if you're into the comics. Sadly i wasn't to impressed with the system, none of my players were thrilled with the charcter generation either. It basically told you what you were going to play.
 
I loved the comic and an rpg could be a lot of fun. The players could explore ancient ruins, deal with science run amok, and fight of carnivorous dinosaurs. If Mark Schultz did the artwork it would be perfect.
