Proto:The Flintstones (SNES)

This page details one or more prototype versions of The Flintstones (SNES).

A very early prototype of The Flintstones.

General Differences

• There is no audio at all, leaving this prototype silent.
• The menu has very unresponsive controls, making it hard to navigate through.
• The ability to take damage has not yet been implemented, so touching an enemy does nothing.
• Pressing Start lets you skip levels and cutscenes.
• There are only two levels. The first is an early version of Volcanic 1, and the second is an early version of Jungle 1.
