Name That Atari Game Via Screenshot! - May 2021 Forum Game

[nosweargamer]

Welcome to our next game!

This month we will be guessing Atari games by a portion of a screenshot. These games can be for any Atari system (2600,5200,7800, Lynx, Jaguar), 8-bit computers or even Atari arcade games. And yes, you can use third party titles for the systems. Please use enough of a screenshot so that the game can be identifiable.  You can also use a full screenshot if you feel it will still give enough of a challenge.

I will start. Whoever guesses right earns a point and gets to go next. If no one guesses correct after 12-24 hours, hints may be given, including more of the screenshot used, or a different screenshot from the game. When posting the screenshot, please include the platform it's from. No adult games please. This game will only run through May 2021.

If you want to play, you can also follow the thread to get email notifications of new posts.

It is not Venture.  Keep on guessing!  Hint:  It's the first game I thought of when I saw the nosweargamer's first screen.

Final answer? 

Video Pinball is correct.  I was trying to serve one up for Mr. Pinball himself, chas10e.  Snooze/lose, or so they say.
