In which I play "Night Mission Pinball" released in 1982 by Sublogic. This is, as far as I have been able to determine, the first pinball game on the Atari 8-bit computers. It's control setup is weird, using the fire buttons on two joysticks for the flippers. Sound is also weird, as it used the keyboard click speaker to generate sounds instead of the built-in sound chip. It plays reasonably well, with a credible physics implementation, but it is quick as quick, and sometimes too fast for this old-timer to react to.

Definitely worth a look and a play of one of the early digital pinball games.
