The first flipper game by Bally was Bally's 1948 'Melody' in November 1947. Operators of this period would soon retrofit flipperless games, like Nudgy, and these new flippers often ended up in unusual places on the playfield.
This game was made in two versions: A standard cabinet version and a rolldown cabinet version. Both were made by the manufacturer without flippers. The rolldown version has a ball dispenser instead of a plunger.
