Not pleased with current version of this article

The current version of this article has done nothing to improve our information on the three Atari-made video games titled "Video Pinball". In this case, it has put chronology ahead of actual historic (and thus encyclopedic) importance. The 1977 dedicated console game called Video Pinball was a crude pinball simulation and therefore really was pinball only in name. The coin-op arcade would be second in historical importance, as the only big-time arcade hit (in the sense of the Golden Age of Arcade Games) from 1978 was Space Invaders. The Atari 2600 game Video Pinball is by far the most important historically and also the best-remembered game under that name. Worse, this version of the article lists the 1978 coin-op arcade game and the 1980 Atari 2600 console version as "ports". These games are in no way ports of the older dedicated game console that has more in common with Breakout than a true pinball simulation. This article needs to be fixed to address these issues.
