Arcade Dude 44 reacted to Sabertooth in Stunt Cycle (SC-450) & Video Pinball (C-380) by Atari
Yes, they did. I believe that Stunt Cycle was the last dedicated console that they did. I always liked the look of that one. The handlebars are SWEET! It's definitely on the hardware wish list.

Released circa 1978, Video Pinball (C-380) was one of the last of the original Atari's dedicated consoles. The console came in three variations; Atari Video Pinball (Woodgrain), Atari Video Pinball (Cream), and Sears Pinball Breakaway (Woodgrain). It plays seven different games: Breakout, Flipper Pinball I, Flipper Pinball 2, Paddle Pinball 1, Paddle Pinball 2, Rebound 1 and Rebound 2. The graphics are in color and the sound comes directly from the console via internal speakers.
I received my Video Pinball today. I had been looking for a boxed woking example in decent cosmetic condition for awhile and finally pulled the trigger on this cream colored unit. Everything works as it should and the console and box are clean. It has an old TI power supply and is missing the manual. Otherwise, it's solid. The games are fun for a bit but the best part is the packaging. These guys were way into this!

I already have my awesome Atari shirt, now I know which day to wear it!. Also, every day I rock my, "I'd rather be playing Atari games" license plate frame on my Prius (commuter car, Cobras don't get 40mpgs).

Man, how cool...I loved this one too, when I was a kid! The guy I got my Asteroids, Neo Geo, Track & Field & Super Breakout from had a mint one of these, but he didn't want to let it go. Oh well, maybe someday:)

The arcade version of Stunt Cycle was just awesome. Here's a beautiful example. It has that distinct pre-Warner Atari feel to it, like they were still discovering and inventing what an arcade machine actually was.

Did you also know that it was a "port" of "Star Castle", an awesome vector classic by Tim Skelly of Cinematronics? Well, at least it was the same idea, according to HSW.

I used to play this one ALL THE TIME, back in '82! Unfortunately, I think I'm still sick of the arcade version.
