Video Pinball is a pinball game for the Acorn Electron. It was released by Alternative Software in 1987 in their budget £1.99 range.
The table is pretty simple, consisting of a 5 line BONUS rollover at the the top, 4 round bumpers and a jackpot channel on the left. Lighting each lane of the BONUS rollover seems to be the main game mode, with the left side channel being an additional source of points, but not easy to achieve. Ball control is.........interesting. The physics of the ball are odd, with a high level of left-right movement. Using the flippers tactically is almost impossible. You can't catch and control the ball here.
Overall, a very simple pinball game, but not a disaster considering it was a budget release.
This run was made on the 3rd December 2023 using the Pantheon emulator on PC. The score reached was 66,400 points.
