| has gloss | eng: Humpty Dumpty is a historically important pinball machine released by Gottlieb in October 1947. Named after Humpty Dumpty, the nursery rhyme character, it is considered to be the first true pinball machine ever produced, distinguishing it from earlier bagatelle game machines. Humpty Dumpty had six flippers, but, unlike modern pinball tables, they faced outward instead of inward and were not placed at the bottom of the table near the main outhole. Like all early pinball tables, Humpty Dumpty was constructed with wood and had backlit scoring in preset units of scoring rather than mechanical reel or electronic LED scoring. |
