Pinball is the early Nintendo Famicom pinball, simulating a generic themed classic table with simple physics. The representation offers vertical scrolling with bumpers, flippers and bonuses in a founding Japanese arcade pinball formula. Honest for Famicom pinball fans, classic of the 8 bit Nintendo Black Box catalog.

Collector interest

A Famicom launch title, this pinball game carries Nintendo's own fingerprints, sneaking in an underwater Mario-style bonus stage. Its later, scarcer PAL run and the multiregion Asian cartridge make it a benchmark of the publisher's earliest in-house output, harder to find in Europe than in North America. The appeal lies in its place as a relic of Nintendo's very first catalogue, before the studio's golden era.
