The fact that there is a GRAND DAD at the first screen makes this video so worth it

[@shiggityx2]

I came here because I actually played this Flinstones game as a kid, had no idea what GRAND DAD was. The internet is weird.

[@shoopdahoop2221]

All memes aside, this is a REALLY good looking game (graphics-wise) despite the limitations of the NES.
They managed to capture the art style of the show perfectly.

[@123TauruZ321]

It was a pretty good game, but quite slow and "stocky", the movements were not as free as say, super mario bros 3. I'd say 6 out of 10.

[@NauticalSponge]

Also had a killer sound track

[@SPCooki34]

@@123TauruZ321 it’s better than mario 7 tho, no denying that

[@outlawedmedia4336]

When I was a kid I tried and tried to beat this game. It wasn't easy. I actually felt like I murdered Dino and Hoppy for not ever saving them. The guilt has never left me.

[@iratemoviesonfunny]

Honestly thought that this was uploaded by SiIvaGunner 5 seconds in before I looked for the Channel name.

[@da_purple_lizard]

damn grand dad's moving fast like he's a barve boy

[@gorilli09]

0:00 I wasn't expecting to see 7 Grand Dad

[@gab_v250]

I love the fact that the uploader was aware of the "7 Grand Dad" meme

[@SyphistPrime]

I've never seen a speedrun of this game or a TAS, time to see if anything fucks my mind. I can't wait.

[@SyphistPrime]

The ice physics and elevator was pretty entertaining. the awesome movement optimizations and the creative waste of time during the linear sections was fun too.

[@kenpachizaraki7728]

Yeah, what happened in the ice stage? How did he move so fast? o.O

[@SyphistPrime]

Kenpachi Zaraki I assume they coded the ice to have you slide and they just exploited how it worked. I know nothing about this game other than what I've seen in this TAS.

[@-rabbot-1781]

the basketball minigame was hard to watch

[@Quickhand413]

The Grandest TAS of them all.

[@EssyTico]

3:20 Fred ignores his wife

[@moxxiepeppino]

Got recommended this while watching a silvelgunner video

[@SiFi270]

I thought you didn't accept TASes of romhacks unless the hack made significant changes to the gameplay or levels. And yet here's a submission with a hack I've never heard of that inexplicably replaces Mario with Fred Flintstone. Are there other changes that I'm not aware of?

[@SiFi270]

Hey it's Rockula and Frankenstone from that one TV special. The one where towards the beginning there's a game show host that puts deliberate emphasis on the word "Grand" and it's because he's making a pun on "Grand" as in a thousand dollars but it's still a weird example of real life foreshadowing.

[@kirjian]

its not Mario, its Fortran

[@SiFi270]

It's neither. It'e Mario and Fortran's ancestor from prehistoric times, but the game's developers didn't know how to properly translate "ancestor" so they settled for "Grand Dad" instead.

[@thecommenter3977]

Reality check:
The Flintstones: Rescue of Dino and Hoppy (1991)
7 Grand Dad (1992)
Conclusion: *No. The Flintstones was never a ROM hack of 7 Grand Dad.*

[@thecommenter3977]

Does anyone but you believe your lies?

[@marco_mouse]

Nice hax bro
