Flintstones, The - The Rescue Of Dino & Hoppy (europe) Game
📅 1991 ✍️ Taito Corporation

Okay, so picture this: Fred Flintstone’s pets—Dino the dinosaur and Hoppy the kangaroo—get snatched by some weirdo from the future who’s basically a pet collector. Classic NES platforming hijinks ensue. You’re running, jumping, and smacking cavemen with Fred’s club while this tiny alien dude (who looks like a green bean with legs) helps you track down parts to rebuild a time machine.
It’s got that old-school jank—some jumps feel way too precise, and the hit detection is… well, let’s just say you’ll yell at the screen a few times. But the sprites are surprisingly detailed for an NES game, and the music’s got that bouncy Flintstones vibe. Pro tip: save your special attacks for the bosses unless you want to get stuck grinding for more power-ups.
Honestly, it’s not the best platformer on the system, but if you’re into weird licensed games or just love the Flintstones, it’s a fun little time capsule. Just don’t expect it to hold up like Mega Man.
