Machine Description
Humpty Dumpty, released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in 1947, holds the distinction of being one of the most historically significant pinball machines ever created, as it was the first pinball machine to feature player-controlled flippers. This revolutionary innovation, invented by Harry Mabs, transformed pinball from a game of chance into a game of skill, fundamentally changing the entire industry and establishing the basic gameplay mechanics that would define pinball for decades to come.
Designed by Harry Mabs with Art by Roy Parker, this was the first of 7 "Fairy Tale" themed games with 6 flippers on each game.
