This is an arcade-style game where players control Flintstones characters through various themed environments. The gameplay involves navigating obstacles, collecting items, and utilizing movement mechanics to achieve objectives within a time limit.
Story
BONUS LANE - THE RUBBLES' BACKYARD POOL
Take a break from bowling and visit the Rubbles' backyard pool. To see this lane, you'll need to have qualified for "extended play" on the previous four lanes. This lane poses new challenges for you.
You'll be able to move your Flintstones character in all four directions. To gain speed, move back and forth against the pool walls. Try to collect as many pins and gems as you can before the timer runs out.
BEDROCK FREEWAY
There's nothing like a little rush hour traffic to make a game more interesting, is there? To get home, you must dodge the traffic and the road construction.
This is definitely a test of your reflexes - one false move and it could be crunch time - ouch!
CRYSTAL MINE
Whoa - you're in for a wild underground ride! It gets steeper as you head down into the mine, so be ready. Stay sharp!
It's not just the paths that are tricky - some of the creatures down here are definitely out to get you.
LAVA
Bowling around a volcano - what will that Gazoo think of next? This is a tricky course and the spewing volcano and wild Snorkasaurus don't make your job any easier.
You have to know when to zig and when to zag to make it through this mess. And watch out for the lava.
How to Play
Let's Go Bowling - Gazoo Style
Fred and Barney need to practice for their bowling tournament. Gazoo transforms the town into twelve giant bowling lanes. Bowling balls become bowling shells, allowing characters to ride them.
You can play as Fred, Barney, Bamm-Bamm, Pebbles, or Dino. Ride through Bedrock, knock over bowling pins, and collect items. Watch out for obstacles like lava pools and troublesome animals.
Qualify for bonus lanes and find the hidden lane. Playing on Medium and Hard difficulty levels unlocks additional lanes not available on Easy.
How Does the Game Work?
Bedrock Bowling is enjoyable for all skill levels and can be played alone or with up to three friends. Gazoo provides hints and a picture of each new lane.
To win, achieve the best score by hitting bowling pins, gems, and birds. All lanes, except bonus lanes, have an early and late finish line.
Your turn ends at the early finish line if you don't collect all three Dodo birds. Collecting all three Dodo birds grants "extended play," allowing you to play an additional section of the lane for more pins and gems.
Bonus Lane Qualification
•
The Rubble's Backyard Pool Bonus lane: Get "extended play" in each of the first four lanes.
•
Water Buffalo Lodge Bonus lane: Get "extended play" in lanes six through nine.
Bonus lanes have a time limit, so collect items quickly.
Steering and Control
•
Use the right and left directional buttons to maneuver through the lane.

The X button is "turbo" speed.
Difficulty Levels
Choose from Easy, Medium, and Hard. The placement of pins, gems, and birds becomes more difficult with higher settings.
If playing with others, scores are calculated based on the easiest level selected by any player, even if players choose different difficulties. Greater difficulty levels offer bigger rewards.
