The first machine with Zipper Flippers was Bally's 1966 Bazaar I believe
First buy-in extra ball or similar? is black water 100
First internet hook up? no good gofers (one game on test game had dial up I think no real internet stuff for the players) sharkey's shootout tournament edition had golden tee like dial up.

Stern informed me that Sharkey’s Tournament Edition was never created. I emailed Chas about it some months ago. What makes you think it had a dial up connection that was actually used?

maybe just testing only but it was marketed on the fliers so that may count for something.
Was Centaur the first to have a "live action" attract mode, where it fired balls into the playfield and self-played (without scoring and no flippers) ?
Looking at OP I know it’s been almost 10 years…
First ball plunger triggered by player…there were a couple wedgehead where you hit the flipper to receive the ball into play. It came through between the flippers so I’m not sure if that counts but it is player controlled.

This was also a feature on Williams Winner.

Gtb. 'Just 21' had this feature. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1344
This could really use an update.
I noticed it had repeated “first multi-ball on plunge?” Spring Break is listed. It is repeated further down and says Blackwater 100.
Spring Break beat it by a year.
Also first message/game dedicated to a pinball great? I’m pretty sure Data East games have a few dedications. LW3 comes to mind featuring a dedication.
