7 Grand Dad (Mostly referred to as "Grand Dad") is a bootleg of one of the Finstones games of the NES(?)

## Discovery

On a stream by famous YouTuber Vargskethor Joel, He played a bootleg of a Mario game or something.

Here's how it went:

...Alright, movin' on. *(Moves arrow to 7. MARIO 7)* Mario 7? [unintelligible] this is the one I played? Hmm, let's check it out. *(Presses Start and the infamous title screen loads)*

*("Meet the Flintstones" starts playing)*

*(Groans)*

Grand Dad! Grand Dad?! What the fuck?! Grand Dad?! Grand Dad?! *(Pause)* What the shit?! *(Giggles)* Grand Dad. *(Groans and laughs)* Grand Dad. The Grandest of Dads.

*(Pauses the ROM)* Is that Mario's bloody teeth? *(Enhances Grand Dad's face)* What the shit? *(Enhances it more)* Oh no! Oh no! Oh Jesus! I actually – I – waitamin – n-y-no, no, oh dios mio – I know the cartridge artwork for this one I think! Hang on... I think I have seen the cartridge artwork for this one, I-I'm not sure but, but uh... Hang on... *(Pause while Joel searches for the artwork)* I think I had it before. I think I've seen this piece o' shit! Hang on...

*(Finds it)* Yes! This is it! Look at this, look at this! *(Shows artwork)* This is how it looked! *(Enhances artwork, with "(GRAND DAD 3M)" among Chinese characters)* Grand Dad! *(whispering)* grand dad. *(back to normal voice)* Grand Dad? Granddad! Is it in "Grand Dad" or is it in "Grandad"? Gra– Granddad? G-

You know, I-I love th– uh– you know what makes this perfect? The fact that *(Enhances star with Fred Flintstone inside it)* you know, Fred Flintstone's like "Yeah, I'm in this too! *(Giggles)* Thumbs up!" *(Chuckles)* So it was sorta like, weird endorsement from the Flintsto– *(Unpauses the ROM)* Alright, let's... *(Pauses the ROM again)* Who made this game? Who made this game? *(Enhances the "1992 1" text at the bottom of the title screen, with "1" looking a bit like "I")* I did! I did. I – or 1, I don't know. *(Unpauses the ROM and starts the game)*

*(Skips the story intro and reaches the world map screen, where he controls Fred Flintstone. Groans)* Does it have anything to do with Mario at all? *(Moves Fred to the town level. The level loads, and Fred is now replaced with Grand Dad himself, who is just Fred with Mario's head)* Oh no! *(moves Grand Dad to the left)* Oh no! *(moves Grand Dad to the right)* Oh no! *(moves Grand Dad to the left again)* Oh dios mio! *(moves Grand Dad back to the right, and has him keep walking until he falls into the water, losing a life)* Shame on you!

*(Grand Dad respawns. Joel moves him forward a bit, then has him duck repeatedly. After a bit of fidgeting, Joel makes Grand Dad progress through the level, jumping over the water this time.)* Are you serious? *(Grand Dad comes across an enemy and runs into him, getting damaged. Joel has Grand Dad defeat the enemy and collect a coin that was dropped.)* This looks so out of place, it's ridiculous. *(Moves Grand Dad towards two platforms over the water. Joel attempts to get Grand Dad over to the lower platform, but he ends up in the water, losing another life.)*

*(Grand Dad respawns with no more lives in reserve. Joel brings him near the water and has him duck for a while, apparently trying to get him to climb down the ledge above the water.)* Nah, screw it. *(Forces Grand Dad to walk right into the water.)* Dead.

*(Quits game)* Alright, that was... Mario Grand Dad. *(chuckles)* In fact, that's the- it was a good- *(snickers)*[1]
