Although there was never a second release of the game, it’s still held close to players hearts as one of the only Flintstones racing games and an absolute classic.
Although these were our top five games, we feel it’s only right to list some honourable mentions that didn’t quite make our list. The Flintstones: bedrock racing which was released on PlayStation 2 in 2007. The Flintstones’ big trouble in bedrock was released for the Gameboy advance in 2001. The Flintstones, the treasure of Sierra bedrock released in 1994 for the super Nintendo entertainment system.
The Flintstones is an absolute classic tv show, one fans have loved and adored all around the world for many years. Despite being released over sixty years ago, the tv show still holds up today, which shows as they have been making games around the show as late as 2014. There was talk of a reboot series on FOX, whilst there hasn’t been a new game for ten years, the ones we already have are absolute classics and generational games that can be played over and over and still hold up today. Hopefully the new reboot will bring talk of new games.
