S.BAZ Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 uh-oh. this might get confusing. I was looking for "The Atarians" (1976). Now I see 4x4 was earlier but only a prototype, although later released in 1983. PinPong & Video Pinball were actually video games, although "machines" and pinball-themed. but I think the first pinball table actually released was the Atarians.
