It was relayed to Bally that the foreign player preferred one retur n lane on each side at the bottom of the game that "returned" the pinball to the flip pers for a play field skil l shot. I tried something different with Paragon, since it was Bally's first wide-body game. That couldn't be done with the original Paragon design. The way it was relayed to desi gners through interpreters was that their players liked to hold the pinball on the flip per, take a drink of beer and brag to other players about the skil l shot they were about to shoot. I recall that they relayed the fact that their players liked to hold the pinball by the flip pers. If my memory serves me correctly, I seem to recall that the Italian, French and German markets were quite strong for Bally during that period and Bally was often visited by various foreign distributors. I wouldn't have originally designed Paragon with that lower right section that way because it looks like the pinball could get stuck between those two wire forms. We asked Greg Kmiec to comment on why the 3-flipper version was created. In addition, a mini-post was added at the opening beneath the pop bumper in the Beast’s Lair to make it more difficult for the ball to leave the playfield that way. In this version, a ball guide and a single post replaced the upper right flipper, and the flipper assembly was not installed. An unknown quantity of the games shipped to Europe had only three flippers. The standard version of this playfield has four flippers as shown on the flyer. Fantastic across -the-playfield drop target shot and the top two saucers similar to Wizard.An earlier game that builds a song tune note by note is Bally's 1978 'Playboy'. Fantastic bottom flippers, the Old Chicago bottom thumper bumper on the left, the Knockout Wiggler channel on the right (the across-the-playfield feed into the Knockout Wiggler lane was an homage to Ted Zale), the Harlem Globetrotters in-line drop targets on the left side feeding a reverse Capt.
You might be able to recognize features from different games in the layout: the Capt. It has come to my attention that the song was indeed "The Worm." Every ball in the saucer added one note to the tune. We had heard anecdotally that when the Golden Cliffs feature is at maximum and then a ball lands in its saucer, the tune that is played is the interlude from The Ohio Players' song "The Worm" that was on the charts when the game was being designed. 'Paragon' is the first widebody production game from this manufacturer.
