Grand Dad

"Grand Dad Pushes Start To Rich!"

Grand Dad is the eponymous protagonist of 7 Grand Dad, a bootleg of The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy, which is assumed to have released in 1992.

He is also a playable character in Nexed - Despite being a composite character of Mario and Fred, he is not considered a Remix Fighter for either.

Real-World History
While not much is known about 7 Grand Dad, it is assumed to have been released around 1992, given the copyright date on the game's title screen. Being a modified version of 1991's The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy published by J.Y. Company, it has seen at least three reprints with different cartridge art based on Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Land, and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

7 Grand Dad would gain notoriety in 2014, where the streamer Vinesauce Joel played the game as part of a stream based around Mario ROM hacks and bootlegs. Joel's reaction to the game would become memetic, leading to the game's title screen music, an 8-bit arrangement of the Flintstones theme, becoming a recurring gag on the music parody channel SiIvaGunner.

The version of Grand Dad portrayed in Nexed is Faz's personal envisionment of the character, taking inspiration from various sources and personal contributions. However, he is still listed as a SiIvaGunner series character, due to the channel's role in Grand Dad's popularity and influence over Faz's vision.
