The only pinball homebrew I know of is Baby Pacman on the 7800 which has a pinball aspect to it but if you're looking for a pure pinball homebrew then sadly I don't believe there are any aside from the Alien Pinball you mentioned. I would be very interested in homebrew pinball for any Atari system.

totally- this should be an aspect to be focused on, it seems the vcs is very capable of pinball games........

Totally know what you mean. The VCS scrolls vertically very well, the vertical sprite stacking, the era of the original audience played a lot of pinball, the fact that one of the sprite objects is called a Playfield lol. I tinker with some pinball graphics once and a while for the 2600 but I'm no coder and there isn't a Pinball Construction Kit around.
