Williams’ The Flintstones, released in 1994 and designed by John Trudeau, brings the prehistoric sitcom — by way of the 1994 live-action film — to a fast, family-friendly playfield. With three flippers and three distinct multiball modes, it captures the Stone Age comedy of Bedrock through a bowling-and-construction theme that’s as approachable as it is fun.
The scoring is built around several clear goals. The top lanes and drop-target sets progress “Concrete” toward the main three-ball multiball, with jackpots alternating between the center shot and a small left loop. The charming bowling feature has you shooting the lit ramp to send the ball to the right side, then aiming for the center pin for a strike — and three strikes starts the Bowl-o-Rama multiball. A clever 1-2-3 ramp sequence puts the ball on exactly the flipper you need for the next numbered shot, completing numbers to start modes, while Dino’s Frenzy is a two-ball mode you can bring into the main multiball.
There are rewarding milestones for the persistent, too: seven center-ramp shots light an extra ball, and eighteen of them light pop-bumper millions worth two million a hit. Bright, breezy, and stuffed with cartoon charm, The Flintstones is an enjoyable and underrated Trudeau machine — a yabba-dabba-doo good time that’s welcoming to newcomers while giving regulars plenty of multiballs and modes to chase. Have a gay old time in Bedrock.
