Flintstones is a fun game. I have a huo one with the "early" or proto speaker grills.
Most people seem to frown on it, but I like it quite a bit.

Mine is no where near as nice as your HUO (as I am sure you already know) but I still love it. I have the graphic speaker grills, which i wanted. It needs a few cosmetic upgrades but it plays wonderfully. I just ordered the Hanna Barbera translite and I am stoked.
 
I played one yesterday at Arcadenut's house. Great machine. I love all the extras.

Oh, and the Hannah-Barberra stuff pushes this one over the top.

Yep, It was a bummer I couldn't make the trip, but I did help Mark load out his Nip It and helped bring his wood rail down into his basement. Thats a task in itself with his steps going down into basement, not easy. I seen you ordered the Hanna Barbera translite. Im interested in seeing what it looks like. Where would I go to look at it?

It's on ebay right now. Not sure how many he has left. And Mark was awesome. Wish we coulda hung out longer.
 
Nice machine. Phet, you and I need to talk pins this weekend - I have a lawyer who's looking for some machines, and I think you could point me in the right direction.

Can't wait to play that one this spring.

Yeah I'll see what I can do. As to playing it this Spring, you're gonna love it. It's my new favorite. I hadn't really touched my machines for a few weeks, but once Flintstones arrived, I was down there playing all the pins for most of the weekend. Of course I put the most games on the Flintstones, but I then felt the need to play the other 3 to compare the gameplay. The others are awesome, but the Flintstones just seems more fun. The background music makes you feel like you are part of an animated episode. Even Dino's barking sounds right. The voice call outs are also good, the only 2 annoying ones (so far) being:

Fred (John Goodman): "How about a bonus Slate!" (or something similar)

and

Barney (Rick Moranis): "Uhh, care to play another game?"

But I really think this was the machine I've been looking for. Now if I can find a Creature for under $3000, I'll have my permanent line-up.
 
It is really a shame all the pins that are made on movies of TV shows. I wish that the Transformers pin was based on the G1 cartoons. It would have been a billion times better.


Congrats on finally getting the pin in! I can't wait to see the new translight.

Wow that will look much better with the Hanna Barbera translite. I was never a fan of that movie.

rosie odonnells face on the translite was a deal breaker for me, i would definitly get one and change the translite to the hanna barbera one.
nice pin!
 
lookin good phet. i think this new pin in your lineup goes really well with the rest of your pins. i like that your keepin most of your 90's pins with the old school incadescents installed too. i think some peeps are just going nuts now with all the leds.

what color powdercoating are you gonna go with the new flintstones pin?? i think all chrome might look pretty sweet.

"Never said that I am done with pins, I said I don't think I have 'the fever', aka needing to replace all my video games with pins. I feel one is enough. I may change the title from time to time, but I will most likely never own more than one at a time"


Say what good chap??...... ;)
