Fun game, shoots well (maybe a bit too well). The apron ramp diverters are a great gimmick and make for fun, interesting gameplay. Bowling gimmick is fun too. Would benefit from better lighting in the back (have not played one fitted out with LEDs.

A surprisingly fun game with good shots and a lot of variety. I did not have very high expectations for this game but I found myself wanting to keep playing it over and over. The worst thing about this machine is that it is based on the bad Flintstones movie. I think this machine would get more love if it had artwork based on the original cartoon instead of the movie. Good machine though.

This is a shame that this beautiful game has a shallow ruleset. I'm a good (but not great) player and I beat it the first day I had it, big disappointment and I lost interest very quickly because of that. The only goal remaining was to beat my own scores.

This is an excellent game for the non initiated but not so for experienced players. The "behind" the flippers ball path is extremely exciting and one of the best shots in pinball. Both ramps can feed both flippers, very creative.

The sounds effects and the music are very good and very crisp/high quality (DCS system). The dinosaur sculpture and houses are very well made and scream "JJP" quality. Apron is incredible too as it is part of the gameplay since there is a ball path on it. Lots of great ideas, beautiful ... but too simple/easy for a seasoned player although this is the perfect game for a family that just want to have a great time.

A very good Williams from 94, not to be compared to Indiana or other famous pinballs from the same generation, but very fun, as a family pinball for all generations!

A very funny pinball to play, we bought it because my dad loves the theme. But it is a fun game to play and I really like to shoot the left or right ramp which makes the ball roll over the apron! a very cool thing which isn't in a other pinball machine!

Decent game but I find I lose my ball far too easily - no kickback. My fault, I suck. Like the theme and callouts though, remember the movie back. In the day.

This game is just plain fun. Easily a top 50 game for me. Cannot stop playing it. If you like ramps and gimmicks for a good price grab the Flintstones

Fun WPC game with great theme. The back glass and playfield could have skipped Rosie O'Donnel's likeness. Lets go bowling!!

It’s just a fun game that everyone can enjoy. Wife’s favourite and always a fan favourite when people visit.

Ehh.I couldn't ever really get into this game. Not a huge fan of the theme, so that doesn't help.

I had a chance to buy this game that was just totally refurbished and could not turn it down. Surprisingly, I have really enjoyed this. Certainly not a modern game by any means, but a lot of fun. Pinball friends of mine always play this game when they come over. Certainly a lot of game for the money. Multiball is a challenge, particularly the super jackpot. Alternative back glass choices are fun.

Hated the movie, Love the machine. Underrated game. Yes, simple and a little childish, but good shooter, with good flow.

This is just a really fun game with that "one more game" feel. It has nice shots, callouts, and sound. I can pick other pins out with better features of each, but flintstones really mixes it up well and brings it all together in a fun package...and at a low price.

This is a top 50 pin. But only after changing to the alternative backglass and playfield overlay

Turns a 6 into an 8 oddly enough

Just my opinion

And for the price it's a 10

Yabadabadoo!! Challenging shots and good rule set. Even though based on the movie its the same music and theme as the cartoon. Bowling night, lodge night, Dino, and of course “Hay Mr. Slate how about a bonus?” Very family oriented machine and play.

Great family game. I am impressed with the sound quality. The kids love it.

Probably belongs in the top 100. Unique layout makes this game really fun. Not the deepest rule set but enough to keep me coming back. Cartoon arts package is a must.

I love the play field, the houses, the vibrant colors and theme. most are in great condition because they aren't as popular to play, which makes them even more tempting to a home collection.

This game exceeded my expectations significantly. Lots of things to do. Some really good shots. Good ball flow. I especially like the ramps. This is a fun pin to play that is also very family friendly. My only complaint is that it is themed on the mediocre movie rather than the classic animated show.
