Flipper (Gottlieb pinball, 1960)

Flipper is an electro-mechanical pinball machine made by D. Gottlieb & Co. and released in 1960. It was designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker. It was the first add-a-ball game, which awarded extra balls rather than replays and so made flipper games legal in places such as New York City where replay games were banned, and it introduced Gottlieb's wedgehead backbox design.
