Description

Pinball is an early attempt at recreating a pinball table on a game console. The table contains four large bumpers which the player scores points by hitting. The points given for each bumper hit range from two to nine and changes randomly for every hit. When reaching a score beyond 999 points the game stops. The game can be played by one or two players who take turns. A special key can be used to reverse the direction of the ball but using it too much can cause a tilt which stops the game. Each player has five balls.
