The final version was a game cartridge released in 1980 for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}}, and was programmed by Bob Smith. It featured simplistic simulations of a pinball machine's plunger, flippers, bumpers, and rollovers. A "nudge" feature allowed players to change the ball's movement with the joystick, but excessive movement would "tilt" the machine. This game is now available on UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade, as well as Code Mystics' ''Atari's Greatest Hits'' collection.

''Video Pinball'' is a series of three games released by {{Atari}} between 1977 and 1980. The third version (for the {{Atari 2600}}) is now available on XboxLiveArcade.

The first version was on a dedicated console, similar to the ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'' machines of the time. It also had a basketball game and ''{{Breakout}}''. The second was an ArcadeGame, complete with flashing lights. The third was the 2600 version. Each game gave you control over the ball shooter and flippers. The arcade and 2600 versions also had a nudge feature, similar to tilting a real pinball table. Ball physics were fairly realistic.
