Victory (1986)? You can lock an extra ball and keep playing, but it's more of a ball save feature. The game never gives you two balls at the same time.

That sounds about right. Does anybody know what the first single ball pinball machine was? I think I have a good idea what it might be.

Answering Vid's question, Not Odin's-1960 Bally Beach Queens. You only get one ball to play and hit as many bumpers as you can. No flippers either. Just some very strong kickers.

Good call. I was thinking of Flipper, the first add a ball game that came out the same year but a few months later.

Is there a definitive answer to this? I suppose it has to be Whoa Nellie. But how about the last one not designed to be "retro"?
