Summary

It’s prehistoric pandemonium when the Flintstones get a surprise visit from the 30th century. Dr. Butler’s time‑machine invention is on a mission to snatch Dino and Hoppy for the Orbit City Zoo, while Great Gazoo needs scattered parts to build his own chrononaut contraption. Fred teams up with Wilma, Barney and Betty, hopping through a string of quirky levels to rescue his dino pals and jump into the future.

The platforming feels fresh thanks to Fred’s easy‑to‑control moves – a trusty club for bashing enemies and a smooth climb that lets you scale ledges with cartoon‑style flair. Bright, colorful graphics capture the TV show’s vibe, earning praise from GamePro and a 4‑star nod from AllGame, even if the music didn’t quite hit the same high note.

Storyline

The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy opens with a brief cutscene showing Fred, Barney and their families enjoying a typical day in Bedrock. The peace is shattered when a 30th‑century scientist named Dr. Butler kidnaps Fred’s pet Dino and Barney’s pet Hoppy, and steals parts of Gazoo’s time‑machine. Only Fred can see the alien friend Gazoo, who promises to help once his machine is rebuilt. Each level ends with a boss fight, and after every victory Fred recovers another missing component, which Gazoo welds back together.

As Fred gathers the final piece, he travels to the future, meets a cameo appearance by George Jetson, and confronts Dr. Butler in a last showdown to rescue Dino and Hoppy and restore the time‑machine.
