Here's a game that seems to have stirred up a bit of
interest on the C64endings forum. It's Flintstones: Yabba-Dabba-Do.
Vinny first mentioned the game when he tried to beat it
himself, but gave up very quickly as he found the game
to be too frustrating!
A letter to a Spectrum magazine has implied that the
game is unbeatable, but is the C64 version the same?
Fortunately, the C64 version is beatable.
The aim is to build a home and get
Wilma to fall for you. Fred has to clear an area for his
home, collect rocks to build the bottom layer, earn
money to hire a dino to reach the roof of the house,
build the roof of the house and then finally get Wilma
to come and live with you. There are dinosaurs and other
creatures wandering around, so you need to avoid them
otherwise Fred will be sent spinning. You can also drive
Fred's prehistoric car, which gets you around much
quicker - but you need to find it first. Once you know
what to do, the game can be beaten in no time at all.
Overall it's a decent enough little action game to keep
you entertained for a while. I'm glad I dug this one out
and had another crack at it.
Fred takes Wilma from
behind.
He then leads her to
his lair.
Once through the door
it's straight for the bedroom!
YABBA-DABBA-DOOOOOOO! The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I used an infinite lives cheat.
Since seeing the ending, I have built a crazy hack for
Flintstones that has a whole host of new
features, as well as revealing the ending. Check out the

SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
The last task in the game is to get Wilma back to your
home. For a while, it seemed she would never follow me
home. I tried another approach - I ran around as fast as
I could, and grabbed Wilma as many times as I could, as
quickly as I could. This seemed to work. Wilma then
follows Fred back to his house, where they can be seen
kissing through the window. Yabba-Dabba-Doooooooo !
Flintstones: Y-D-D
