David's Midnight Magic may have been turned into a pinball game, or vice versa (the latter seems more likely; i.e., that DMM was a ripoff of an existing machine) To go back to the stone age of computing, Moonlander was written by Dave Ahl while at DEC for some DEC thingy or another, but I'm sure that if you go back that far, there are a couple more examples. And it wasn't commercial. -Sho
