Document the prototype

Ocean's The Flintstones, a port of their SNES game, was set for a release in 1994 or '95, but ultimately only saw release on the Sega Channel service in '96.

The finished build of the game was released by the Video Game History Foundation on December 15, 2025.1

Debug Menu#

A debug menu exclusive to this version is present. To access it, use Game Genie code 7YPT-BAWT or Pro Action Replay code 001B50:50ED, pause the game then press A. Here you can access the level select, map viewer, object placement tools, and a configuration menu where you can turn on invincibility for the entire level (albeit buggy) and set the number of lives.

Unused Music#

The sound test has four songs which aren't used at any point in the game.

Song 08, which was also unused in the SNES version.

Song 09, also unused in the SNES version.

Song 10 is exclusive to the Genesis version. This is interesting, as it's the only song in this port that isn't taken from the SNES version.

Song 14 is the Jungle level theme from the SNES version. The Genesis version uses Unused Song 1 from the SNES version as its Jungle theme instead.
