[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 11919, member: 590"] As stated in the "origins of your love of pinball" thread, I played a lot of Atari 2600 Video Pinball in its time, and got peculiar ideas about what pinball was like as a result of that. It had tiny drains, tiny flippers and no slope at the bottom of the playfield, so much of the game was just watching the ball ricochet around at random. Later, Atari actually came out with another pinball cartridge that was pretty good, called Midnight Magic. The name, box art and some visual details suggest to me that they had the David's Midnight Magic license, but the playfield bore little resemblance to David's Midnight Magic, which was basically a Black Knight clone. For the 2600, Midnight Magic was actually a respectable pinball sim that played recognizably like pinball. But it came out years after the Great Crash, and I've played it only recently in emulation.
