Black Hole (Gottlieb) on the AtGames Legends Pinball (006)

Apr 7, 2021

This is the sixth (006) in a series of quick gameplay videos of every licensed virtual pinball table available to play on the AtGames Legends Pinball machine, one of the most value-packed home systems. I'll play these in menu order (for the most part). This video covers the FarSight Studios release of Gottlieb's Black Hole, a breakthrough pinball machine from 1981 with dual playfields.

    Nobody tell Atari, but I’d pay $20 just for Kaboom! on a paddle controller. Where the HELL is it?

      You can always move up to the Atari Flashback 9 or Flashback 9 Gold, which both offer paddle support (but only with a new type of AtGames paddle).

    Atari doesn’t own kaboom, it’s Activision
