The Flintstones 2 (NES)
Fred and Barney are searching for their children, Pebbles and Bam-Bam who got lost. When they finally find them, a volcanic eruption blocks their way and so they start going all the way around the mountain to find out why this happened and of course to save their children.
The player can switch playable characters between both Fred and Barney, and they both have different attacks and abilities. Barney, a friend of Fred's, has a slingshot that he can employ at a specific range to assault adversaries, while Fred can use a club to pound opponents. Some parts of the game require different strategies often cases where you will have to swap one to another automatically in order to get past certain obstacles or jump onto certain platforms. Fred can also throw an item that will stun or completely kill an enemy or boss.
The Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak is believed to have been released in North America exclusively to Blockbuster Video as a rental title. Though despite constantly being cited as such in modern online reviews and websites, no evidence has been found. Some have even refuted the claim by saying that the game was sold in regular stores. Despite this, it remains one of the rarest games for the NES due to its late release during the console's production cycle and a low number of copies produced. As of 2017 copies of the game available on eBay and other similar sites usually sell for over $800 USD to as high as $1,500 as of 2016. In Europe, the game is slightly more common and cheaper but still typically sells for over US$1,000.
