The Video Pinball brand is a series of first-generation single-player dedicated home video game consoles manufactured, released and marketed by Atari, Inc. starting in 1977. Bumper controllers on the sides or a dial on the front are used to control the games depending on the game selected. There are four game types in the Video Pinball series: Flipper Pinball, Paddle Pinball, Basketball (called Rebound), and Breakout.
The first model is based on the single chip 011500-11/C011512-05 ("Pong-on-a-chip") produced by Atari.
