Pinball Showcase: 1979 Bally Paragon widebody, original code, rules, gameplay - PinballHelp.com

Paragon was the first pinball machine I bought, in 1990. It was very cheap back then. I didn't realize I had one of the most beautiful pinball machines ever made (fun game and the nicest artwork). I sold it a year later. It is now high on my wish list...

I have this machine in my home arcade. I have it set up for 5 ball play and the specials award an extra ball. I often score over 1 million points but have not achieved a 2 million point score...yet. There's also a plastic diverter near the 5X saucer that I removed because it makes the shot a lot harder. My table does not have the hole drilled in it to make the Beast's Lair drain smaller, that's how I lose about 50% of the balls.

Waterfall advances when you complete the three drop targets.

Love these old solid state machines! Is this in your collection?

[@PinballHelp]

Yes, it is!

At least you knew what to shoot for. The game's a little advanced. Every shot has to be accurate. My favorite machine for accuracy; although, the shots on the right side seem to be less rewarding and difficult.
