uh......... nice try I guess?
It's pinball. You launch a ball square and watch it hit everything except the only 2 things you can control, then the square will fall on the unprotected gaps on the bottom and you repeat the cycle.

It's not like the atari2600 It's that underpowered of a console that a pinball game is asking too much. Midnight Magic exists and it sounds, plays and looks better.

i dunno, it's pinball. hard to mess up pinball.

Legitimately one of the worst video games I have EVER played, an absolute stain. I cannot fathom how furious you would be if you'd spent money to play this, you would kick fuck out of your telly.

Good lord the Atari 2600 clearly was in no way shape or form ready for anything resembling an actual pinball game but they sure did try... And try they may but this is still an incredibly dull game with zero redeeming features at all thanks to the playfield being devoid of anything and awkwardly shaped to boot meaning you'll spend most of the time doing absolutely nothing, just wasting time until the ball decides to graze the tips of one of the flippers.
