Game Summary
Authetic video simulation of a pinball game with a unique display arrangement.
Hardware Platform: -Unique or Unknown-
Game Details
Atari used a unique arrangement to supplement the B&W video monitor. The monitor is mounted below the control panel and covered by a reflective piece of smoked plexiglass. A drawing of a detailed, colorful pinball playfield, complete with LEDs, is positioned out of sight near the top of the cabinet. A blacklight-illuminated reflection of this playfield is cast down on the plexiglas below, superimposing the B&W graphics displayed on the monitor. The monitor displays the animated flippers, the ball, and some bumpers and things, with the stationary stuff reflected. Clever, and it works quite well.
Note that there are only two traditional buttons, one on each side used, and they're used to control the flippers just as on a real pinball game. However, you can push down on the control panel itself for a "nudge" effect which can influence the path of the ball during play. The whole control panel pivots slightly up and down. Thus, three buttons.
Interesting for historical reasons, and also a lot of fun to play.

O-Taito is the Old Taito pinout on wiretap. N-Taito is the New-Taito pinout (Like Elevator Action). Quote by R. Schieve: "Taito.pin will match most for power, ground, monitor, and speaker connections but inputs are usually quite different." DECO/Data East is the Data East pinout.

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca)
Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w
