Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Stern, 2004If you saw my other post I'm looking for a pin next weekend in Chicagoland and just wanted some opinions on my options since I have not played all of them. The following pins people either replied to me or are on CL somewhere close to me...
DM
Flintstones
RBION
JD
I'll update the list as this week progresses...
Thanks
Dan
RBION for a strategic hard game with humour and Flinstones for down right good fun and relatively good flow.
Good luck dude
They are all fun in their own way. RBION is the hardest and deepest of the bunch. JD has the best art and unique shots. DM has great flow, music and callouts but is pretty easy once you master the shots. Flintstones has the cool bowling alley toy, the apron rollover, but has Rosie. You can get an alternate translite for it however.
Played rbion and flinstones frequently. Close call but i think i would choose flintstones over rbion.
If you have small children, than even more reason for flinstones. Real family pin
As much as I do not like to look of it, I have been playing alot of Flinstones and it has really grown on me.
The apron is a little strange at first but I enjoy it alot. The rules aren't deep but you have some good pins in your line up I think Flinstones has it's place.
Judge I don't like much. I've played a few in the last year and none of them felt good. I don't get along with widebodies and this game has always felt "off" to me. The art is great but the music is awful.
DM I don't care for. It flows well but I don't bother playing the few I know around town. The theme stinks and I never enjoyed playing it.
Ripley's is a good deep rule set but I find it repetitive to really get anything done or get a decent score.
Rbion has stayed in my collection the longest. Demo man has amazing flow and ramps.....do you really want to hear the flinstones song a million times?
Quoted from davewtf:all of those games are worth owning at least on a temporary basis.
+1. Too difficult to tell what games will have lasting power until you have tried them out. For example, right now many seem to be on the Goldeneye bandwagon. I owned that game for about a year and could wait to get rid of it. Absolutely hated it!! John
I haven't played Flintstones but the translite and playfield art package drive me away fiercely from that title. Had it been original Hannah Barbara I would have been all over it. I do like the adult version of the alternate translite though.
Re: RBION
Love this pin so much. I bought one and am no where near close to getting to Atlantis. I have already come close to destroying the ring in LOTR but RBION is an asskicker of a pin. Will repeat this, but it truly is a poor man's TZ.

RBION is the best of this bunch by a long shot. Next would be JD, then DM and then Flintstones. Flintstones is just too easy to want to own.
Quoted from dantebean:Flintstones and Ripley's would be my choice. (I have a Flintstones and enjoy it a lot)
Quoted from SpOoKyRiDeS:Forgot to add to Flintstones: you can also get a Cartoon style trans as well as playfield overlay to get rid of Rosie for good!~Spooky

This one is better 
flintstones_alt.jpgQuoted from StevenP:I like how Betty and Wilma switched sides on this one!
Thats the whole point 
!
The best translight ever !
But I don't think the people are done speaking yet with all due respect to the op. 3 more votes for Bedrock!~SpOoKy
They all suck.
For that money you'd be much better off with a Jackbot or Doctor Who.
Of the ones listed I'd go with JD though.
I watched the papa video and realized I really suck at modern pinball. I was getting pretty good at my Williams 3-7 games and now this realization...
I've come to realize Ripley is Lucy and I am Charlie Brown. Atlantis is the football I never kick. No matter how good it seems at the time, Ripley will take away Atlantis before I can kick it. But, I keep trying. Someday I might just connect! Unlike Charlie Brown, I don't usually wind up on my back, and it's really fun every time.
