Arriving near the end of the NES era, The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak was Taito's second Flintstones game for the system, following The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy. It came out in North America in late 1993 with a European release after, never in Japan, and its limited print run makes it one of the scarcer and more expensive NES cartridges for collectors.
Instead of one hero, it lets you switch between Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. Fred fights up close with his club, while Barney attacks at range with a slingshot, and certain sections automatically switch to whichever character suits the obstacle ahead. Late-generation art gives the backgrounds and character sprites a bright cartoon look that suits the source show. The game was developed with Sol Corporation and has a soundtrack by Misako Ogata. Its level design is straightforward platforming, but the boss fights demand learning patterns, and some players find it more difficult than the earlier Flintstones game.

Use Barney's slingshot to hit enemies and bosses from a safe distance when you have the choice.
