Item Description

Somebody has stolen Dino. A scientist named Dr. Butler has come back from the 30th century with a time machine, snatched Dino and Hoppy for a zoo in the future, and left Fred Flintstone with a problem only the Great Gazoo can solve. Gazoo can build Fred a time machine of his own, but its parts are scattered across Bedrock and beyond, and that sets up a bright, bouncy Taito platformer that ranks among the more enjoyable cartoon licenses on the NES.

Fred swings his club and picks up a handful of other Stone Age weapons along the way, but his signature move is the ledge grab: he can catch the edge of certain platforms and haul himself up, and more than one leap over a bottomless pit comes down to his fingertips. Levels are short and varied, roaming towns, jungles and waterways, a bamboo village, an autoscrolling ride in a tub across open water and a race ahead of rising lava. Three times on the journey the action pauses for a one-on-one basketball game, and winning earns Fred special skills that make tougher areas easier to handle.

Everything builds to a trip into the future itself: a six-floor climb packed with obstacles, a surprise cameo from another Hanna-Barbera favorite and a three-part showdown with Dr. Butler. The sprites capture the cartoon's look well, Fred's familiar shape and expressions translated cleanly into 8-bit, and Taito's experience shows in the responsive controls. The short stages keep the pace brisk, so there is always another piece of Gazoo's machine just around the corner.

It is a game made for an afternoon, approachable enough for younger players with a few sharp difficulty spikes to keep veterans honest. For fans of the show it is the best way to spend time in Bedrock on the NES, and Taito returned to the license a few years later with The Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak.
