# Dogies

"Dogies," produced by Bally Manufacturing in 1968, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine designed by Ted Zale with artwork by Jerry Kelley. The game features "zipper flippers," which close together to prevent ball drains, adding a unique twist to gameplay. The central playfield challenge is navigating the "Dogies Canyon," where players must manipulate gates and mushroom bumpers to keep the ball in play and maximize their score.
