Three Video Pinballs compared C-380

Recommended Posts

Back in the day and for many years all I had was the plain vanilla Atari C-380 video pinball.  Only recently did I get the brown Sears and now the brown Atari C-380.  The other day I realized that the two brown ones have a different game called Breakaway or Breakthru!  This game has a gap in the Breakout wall!  Absent from this game lineup is the one basket version of basketball.

 

I think I prefer these for this different Breakout version.   (I never liked either of the basketball games.)

A fun piece of trivia: the woodgrain version of the console (with two Breakout games) was initially a Sears exclusive alongside the white Atari version (with two Rebound games). Atari released it under their own branding in 1978, and it was Atari's final dedicated console. 🙂

Thanks .. the different game lineups just became apparent to me.

 

The IC with the code C11500-03 has this Breakthrough game as the unique game:

The IC with code C010755-03 has this single Rebound game as the unique game:

I hadn't seen any decappings, yet.

 

There's more noise surrounding C-380 and other pong consoles nowadays than there was just 3 or 4 years ago. IMHO it's just a matter of time.

 

I suppose news would show up here or on Riddle's page.

Or in M.A.M.E.'s monthly release notes. There might even be an explosion of "status updates" if this ever gets emulated! Watch for it!
