Video Pinball (PAL) (Unknown)

Atari 2600 19?? <unknown>
Video Pinball is a dedicated video game console released in 1978 as an Atari Inc. coin-op-to-standalone home console translation, by bringing the game Breakout to home players. Bumper controllers on the sides or a dial on the front were used to control the games depending on the game selected. There were three game types: Pinball, Basketball, and Breakout.

The console is based on the single chip 011500-11/C011512-05 produced by Atari ("Pong-on-a-chip").

Video Pinball allows 7 games (4 pinball variations, 1 basketball, 2 breakout variations), and uses a micro-controller and a small amount of RAM rather than the "Pong on a chip" IC's used in the slew of pong machines Atari Inc. had been releasing. Pinball was played with the side bumpers, and Breakout and Basketball with the dial.

Ports

Atari Video Pinball Coin-Op


Released in 1978, Mounted inside the cabinet is a 3-D playfield with bumpers, LEDs and fully decorated with a city nightline, neon stars and disco dancers. The control panel consists of a start button, a plunger to "launch" the ball, and flippers on the left and right sides. The control panel also has a spring that allows the player to push down on it for a nudge effect.

Atari 2600


Released for the Atari 2600 video game console in 1980, it featured actual simulations of a pinball machine ball shooter, flippers, bumpers and spinners. The game also implemented a simulation of a real ball's actual physics. The game also features a unique rollover bonus with an Atari Inc. logo on the playfield; hitting the logo four times results in an extra ball. It was programmed by Bob Smith.

Most of the game play involves learning how to perform specific functions, such as launching the ball or activating the flippers, with the Atari 2600 joystick. Moving the joystick controller down pulls the pinball machine plunger back while pressing the joystick button shoots the ball into the playfield. The left and right flippers are activated by moving the joystick controller left or right. The ball can be nudged (as in nudging a table gently in real life) by holding down the joystick button and moving the controller in a particular direction.

The Atari 2600 version of Video Pinball was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs in June 2010.
