Another winner in the "Flipper" series, with add-a-ball action allowing for strategy in spades. A near identical game to Cow Poke. Cow Poke edges out Flipper Cowboy on the backbox animation (kicking Mustang edges out target shootin' rancher), but I like the overall colour scheme of Flipper Cowboy, it has a bit more style and swagger than Cow Poke. That carousel smack dab in the middle of the playfield is trouble any way you slice it--some entertaining danger worked into the gameplay. A great EM made in the early sixties that can stack up against anything made by any manufacturer in the fifteen years that followed.

Many people feel this is a classic Gottlieb Wedgehead. While I like it, gameplay is OK.

The Pros:
A great art package and animation on the BG draws players in like few others. The top lanes on the sides need to be passed through BEFORE the center lane under the pop is lit for a special. Truly nudge-tac-u-lar! getting 4 in a row adds balls to your game, Spin or shoot for the number needed? The BG animation with the spinnin bullseye is WAY SWEET!

The Cons:
Gameplay after the top lanes could be much better. Getting the ball back up into the pops is a moot point. The geometry of the game keeps the ball down on the lower 1/2 of the PF. 3 targets to shoot for on the lower pf, that's it.

The Takeaway:
For me (at least for now), this game looks really good, doesn't play as well as it looks. Maybe someone who knows the game better than me and has access to a crispy copy will show me better, but for now... this game is more of a looker, than a player.

The 5th entry in Gottlieb's Flipper series (all add-a-ball tables) is the original of "Buckaroo" and even more "Cow Poke". The ranch hand on the backglass fires at a moving target. There are 3 possible shots at the roto-target. Only one shot rotates the roto-target which makes it difficult. But there's a WOW-target as well which makes it easier to get an EB and makes you forget the numbers.
