This Flintstones Dinosaur Peak NES cartridge is The Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak, a 1993 platform game from Taito. It is the sequel to The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy. You get the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
The Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak was released in North America in October 1993. Taito developed it with Sol Corporation and published it. It is a single-player platform game.
This time you can switch between Fred and Barney, and each has a different attack. Barney fires a slingshot at a set range, while Fred swings a club. Fred can also throw an item to stun or defeat enemies and bosses. Some sections swap characters for you so you can get past obstacles or reach certain platforms.
Unlike the first game, the sequel was never released in Japan. AllGame gave it 4 out of 5 stars. The review praised the graphics and character switching but noted that some animation was reused from the earlier game.
This game came out late in the life of the NES. Many collectors believe it was sold in North America only as a Blockbuster Video rental. Wikipedia notes that no evidence supports this, and some sources say it was also sold in regular stores. Whatever its path to shelves, this Flintstones Dinosaur Peak cartridge is a standard NES game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System and other consoles built for NES cartridges.

A fun late release NES title
So what makes the game so great? Well you can play as Fred or Barney and switch at anytime with SELECT, a revolutionary concept for the NES. The game is a fun platformer that gets pretty challenging as the game goes on with some hidden bonus levels where you can collect stars toward 1-ups and also some fun sports mini games. This was one of the last games released for NES so the game really takes the NES to it’s limits.
A true collectible, Flintstones Surprise at Dino Peak was primarily “rental only” making it difficult to find and especially rare with box and manual. The game now sports a price tag of 224.95 and higher on Amazon.com

Fun but not worth the re-sellers price.
Flintstones II: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak is a game released near the end of the original NES life. It has good graphics for its day and is hard game that is still fun to play through. Word of advise – DO NOT PAY THE CRAZY PRICES THAT THIS GAME IS GOING FOR! Emulate it and enjoy it that way. It’s not hurting the people who made this game or nintendo if you do so. It hurts the jerks that try to price gouge your nostalgia. If it comes on digital download on the WiiU or whatever nintendo system buy it that way, but emulate the crap out of it.
