there was also David's Midnight Magic.  AMIGA has an *amazing* pinball
game called "Pinball Dreams"...it makes me want to buy an amiga just to

BTW:  A long time back (almost 10 years ago?) a magazine had an article on
programming a Pinball simulation.. I would have saved it if I wasn't so
overwhelmed by the Physics involved (I was about 14 years old!) - I just
wish I could remember where that was
