''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.
