Gameplay

The Flintstones is a platform game with 24 levels. The player controls Fred Flintstone, who must complete seven tasks, which include locating his daughter Pebbles, and a necklace belonging to his wife Wilma.

Reception

The Flintstones received mixed reviews. Back in 1993, reviewers were more forgiving, with magazines like Sega Force awarding it a 7.2/10, and Mega Fun a 6.5/10. More recently, gamers have been more critical; Jeuxvideo.com awarded the game a 13/20 (6.5/10) while Sega-16.com gave the game a 5/10.[1] Power Unlimited gave the game a review score of 80% writing: "The Flintstones is one of the more fun games of its kind. The animations may be bad, but they are funny. As befits a good platformer, the levels are varied, and Fred Flintstone can do a lot of different moves."[4]
