Atari Video Pinball Model C-380 Vintage Atari Video Pinball Console Model C-380

In 1977, a new type of ball and paddle system was launched: Video Pinball. This game also existed in the arcade under the same name, hence the home versions sold by Atari (Video Pinball, model C-380) and Sears (Pinball Breakaway, model 99713). There even was a japanese version, the Epoch TV Block. These systems were designed around a more advanced chip than the PONG-in-a-chip devices, possibly a microcontroller (believed, since the system also contains a small RAM chip which role is unknown, but believed to be for the display and/or score storage). The microcontroller is referred as C011500-1, although the system uses another Atari chip referenced C011512-05. The games played are based around the pinball and breakout principles. Bumper controllers on the sides or a dial on the front were used to control the games. Depending on the game selected, the ball bounces on two bumpers (pinball games), or on a pad that moves horizontally (pinpaddle games), or just like in breakout. Obviously, each game had its own principles. In reality, the system played three different games.

I had one of those back in the 70's as well the Highly sought after now Atari Video Music that was mostly marketed in 1976-77 for the Disco's Clubs . It didn't get many if at all Clubs at the time for the price that they wanted ($200-$300 per device) so they were sold for under $100 at Lafayette Electronics stores as well as other Electronic Stereo stores at the time . How do I know all this ? Well my oldest brother was Asistaint Manager at the Milwaukee, Wi Mad Hatter Disco and he showed me the sales pamplet that he got .

Funny you would ask that . I'm going to be in Milwaukee in August of this year attending my 35th Alexander Hamilton Sr. High School Reunion at Steny's . I have been back 84 ,86 , 2005 , and 2007 ( Pittsville , Wi visiting my Sister ) . P.M. me if you want to meet

Sorry for not updating now it's over 12 years since my last post here. I chose to not go to the reunion (6,000 miles roundtrip) and I did not attend the 50th reunion at my Catholic school (4-8th) in Milwaukee same reason also Health reasons came into both it does make me sad that I didn't attend .

I left for the U.S. Army back in 1982 and in 1983 my 1st duty station was Fort Ord in Monterey , California and I fell deeply in love in this beautiful area that in 1988 I decided to plant roots here .


Pm me folks in Wisconsin and maybe I'll come back to go to Baraboo, Wisconsin to the Circus World Museum
