[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 9440, member: 590"] In my youth I spent way too much time playing Video Pinball on the Atari 2600, a game that bore very little resemblance to actual pinball: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Videopinball_2600.png[/url] There was no slope at the bottom of the screen, so the ball would spend a lot of time just bouncing around down there. You could use the difficulty switches to add two tiny drain holes at the bottom, but there were no outlanes leading to them. Later, Atari put out a 2600 pinball game called Midnight Magic (the table layout was nothing like David's Midnight Magic, but I think it was a licensed port). That was actually pretty good, but I didn't encounter it until recently in emulation. [/QUOTE]
