About The Flintstones
It's the weekend and Fred Flintstone returns home from work very excited about the Bedrock Super Bowl final tonight. As he arrives home Wilma reminds him of his promise to paint the living room before her mother arrives on Sunday. Wilma insists that Fred can only go bowling if he paints the living room. Reluctantly, Fred agrees, but he doesn't bargain for baby-sitting Pebbles and painting at the same time. Chaos, fun and the Flintstones humor is everywhere!

A licensed European platformer that is priced right in the middle of the pack.
The Flintstones for the Master System was developed by Tiertex and published in Europe by Grandslam in January 1992. It is based on the 1960s television series, and it first appeared on computers in 1988, so the Master System version is a later conversion.
How it was made
Tiertex developed the Master System version, and Grandslam published it.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Master Force Issue 3 | October 1993 | 61% |
| Sega Pro Issue 34 | July 1994 | 70% |
“As Fred, paint the living room, drive to the bowling alley, bowl (surprised?) and rescue Pebbles. Boring gameplay isn't rescued by cartoony but could-do-better graphics.”
“The quality of programming is evident. C except everything is very simple to execute and soon bores you.”
Also on other platforms
Amiga · Amstrad CPC · Atari ST · Commodore 64 · MSX · ZX Spectrum
- Atari ST. The Games Machine found the Atari ST version identical to the Amiga version except for slightly poorer sound.
- Commodore 64. The Games Machine said the Commodore 64 version moves at a fair rate.
- ZX Spectrum. The ZX Spectrum version is the only one without the rendition of the television theme tune by Ben Daglish.
Before you buy
This is a European cartridge. Loose it sits near the middle of the European-only games, and a complete copy costs much more than a loose one. The look-alike risk is low. Check that the manual is there, since it is the part most often missing from a complete copy.
