Pinball is a Microvision cartridge released in 1979 by Milton Bradley. The game simulates a simplified pinball machine on the handheld’s 16×16 pixel LCD screen. Players use a single button press to launch the ball and must tilt the cabinet and time their shots to hit bumpers and targets.
The playfield is minimalistic, representing flippers, bumpers, and lanes through basic geometric shapes. Players aim to score as many points as possible before the ball drains. Difficulty settings are not adjustable, but the game offers replay value through score-chasing and timing precision.
Pinball was part of the original launch lineup and remains notable as one of the first attempt at recreating pinball on a handheld platform with interchangeable cartridges.
