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), pictured here. There even was a japanese version, the [Epoch TV Block](/museum/epoch-tv-block/).

See [Atari Video Pinball, model C-380](/museum/atari-video-pinball-model-c-380/) entry for more info. The only differences are the labels, including game names...
