The Atari Video Pinball is the last dedicated 'Pong' console which Atari produced before the release of the cartridge-based Atari VCS 2600 home console.

The Atari Video Pinball had several built-in games, including a number of pinball variations and Breakout variations.

Like most Pong consoles of the day, the Atari Video Pinball had an internal speaker from which game audio would play, rather than through the television speakers.

The Atari Video Pinball could be played with six 'C' batteries or with a seperate power supply. This power supply is the very same one used with the Atari 2600.
