Item Description
Long before he became Nintendo's president, Satoru Iwata was a programmer at HAL Laboratory, and Pinball was the first game he programmed for Nintendo to reach store shelves. It is a fitting start: a tight, clever table that squeezes a surprising number of toys into two screens of early Famicom hardware.
The ball travels between an upper and a lower half of the table, and each half has its own tricks. Up top, light all eight lanes on the left and the seals around the center bumper start bouncing a ball on their noses for a bonus, while sending the ball through the green alley spins three cards you stop on 3s, 7s or penguins. Three penguins lock a stopper between the flippers and double your points. Down below, flipping all five cards of a royal flush turns the table yellow and adds a stopper, knocking out seven numbered targets reopens the path back to the plunger, and hitting the eggs between the bumpers hatches them into chicks that earn temporary saves beside the flippers.
The real prize is the bonus stage, reached through a hole most players find by lucky bounce. There Mario, still the Jumpman of Donkey Kong, carries a platform over his head and bounces the ball into bingo lamps to break the floor beneath a captive lady, then must catch her as she falls and carry her to an exit. Drop her and the ball is lost, which makes every visit a small, tense minigame of its own.
Pinball was among the launch titles that introduced the NES in North America in 1985, part of the black-box lineup that started it all, and it later turned up as a playable NES game in Animal Crossing on the GameCube. With two difficulty levels and alternating play for two, it is a compact piece of Nintendo history that still earns a quick game whenever it is plugged in.

About the game
Pinball is a game where the player controls the paddles of a virtual pinball machine. The game has two screens to represent the traditional pinball table and one for a bonus mode. Play begins when the player launches a ball with the plunger from first screen through the top of the screen to the second screen. Play will move to the first screen if the ball falls through the bottom of the top screen and will return to the top screen if the ball is hit back through the space at the top of the first screen. If the ball falls through the hole to the right bottom at the top level, the player will enter a mini-game featuring Mario and Lady. The player controls the paddles on either screen to deflect the ball to keep it from falling off the bottom of the lower screen.
