Which game is worse, Flintstones or BTTF2?

[K1ngArth3r]

I quite like BTTF2 mainly because I love the movie! Flintstones (although it had a great cartoon and ok film) looks a proper faeces game.

Saw Flintstones on the shelf today and thought what a wasted potential of a game that was. Would have been so much better if it just was a straight plattformer. A google search later I realized it was a port of an older 8 & 16-bit computer game. Didn't know that (or forgot, I'm getting old) and that would maybe explain the weird mini-game approach. *shrugs*

Although I can't figure how you found this old topic , a Flintstones plattformer would be really great!
For any "bad" game we can't know under which conditions it was made, e.g. time pressure, newbie programmers, license issues etc. Especially most of ported games I think were sadly just to get the job done, without much care.

Between the 2, my vote goes to Flintstones, it's so boring with horrible controls.

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before hah I've been telling AVGN he needs to review Flintstones for years now but he probably gets far too many emails to notice...

Don't know how come my mum ended up getting me it as a kid but I was always far too polite to say this absolutely sucks about a game I'd been bought so I did what we always did and persevered with it...i couldn't beat even painting the wall reliably though and the times i did the drive to the bowling alley immediately kicked my ass.

In recent years I remember booting it up and probably using save States to get to the building site... Think i did eventually manage to get to the ending but it was nothing you could describe as being"fun" and i know I borrowed the bttf games from a mate back then and thought they were garbage too but the controls and ridiculous concept of Flintstones (paint this wall whilst babysitting to a ridiculous time limit please) definitely surpassed them in my mind...

Flintstones is terrible and one of the worst games on the system for sure, but in terms of concept/ideas? Possibly the worst one out of the lot!!

I do not own flintstones or BTTF2 yet.
But just seen a playtrough on YouTube, and must admit that flintstones looks really boring gameplay . BTTF2 look’s still a bit more action packed.
So even tho it was a couple of days since the voting started 😉
My vote goes to flintstones

Taito released one in 1993 for the Mega Drive, though graphically, it looks a lot closer to a late-gen Master System game and it's mediocre at best. It's actually surprising it wasn't ported to the MS.

I have The Flintstones on the ZX Spectrum and it is the same game as the MS version. You would think the MS version would be a diluted conversion of the MD game which was the case with quite a few games.

For me BTTF 2 is plain frustrating, but offers a challenge and relies on you memorising the level like the 3rd game. However, The Flintstones is just plain dull! I have played and enjoyed BTTF2 a lot more.
