Originally, the Flintstones game was to have two homages to Dr. Flash and Jeff Johnson games: the "Move Your Car"/"Traffic Jam" rule set, and a homage to the "Sniper" from Judge Dredd. Quarry Diving was to be the clone of Sniper. Actually, it was to be two guys falling, who not only would come up to the screen and do the famous "I can see my house from here" quotes, but every now and then the two of them would do some arial dancing or some such thing. The development of the animations didn't get past the point seen above. It was decided to just keep the homages to one, so that there could more movie-related stuff in the game, which ultimately didn't happen. It was finally decided to keep away from the movie as much as possible later, and to try to keep the concepts as close as possible to Flintstone lore so as not to confuse those who didn't see the movie.
