The Flintstones: The Treasure of Sierra Madrock is a 1994 platformer released for the SNES. Developed by Taito, the game blends traditional side-scrolling action with an overworld map heavily inspired by board games. You take control of both Fred and Barney as they race across different prehistoric worlds, complete mini-games, and navigate platforming stages to discover the legendary treasure of the Water Buffaloes before their rivals.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate the board game overworld by spinning for your movement, completing the action stages or mini-games you land on, and ultimately defeating bosses to progress. In the platforming levels, you must avoid hazards, club enemies, and reach the end of the stage. As an SNES game, the browser controls map the D-pad to your Arrow Keys for movement. Press Z to jump and X to swing your club or use an item. Enter acts as the Start button, and Shift is Select.
Tips
- Understand the board spaces: Different spaces on the overworld trigger different events. Stadiums offer mini-games to win extra lives or items, while enemy spaces force you into difficult encounters.
- Utilise the shops: Use the clams you collect in levels to buy items and power-ups at the shops on the board. Equipping the right item can make tougher platforming sections much more manageable.
- Switch characters strategically: You move both Fred and Barney on the same map. You can use one character to clear a path or tackle a specific level while keeping the other safe or moving towards a different objective.
