TV Pingame

About

TV Pingame is an arcade pinball game that pits players against a screen full of targets and obstacles. Using a paddle to bounce a ball upward, you aim to pop bumpers, land it in pockets, and hit a shifting target at the top. Each successful strike adds points while keeping the ball from falling prevents point loss. The game supports one or two players, making it a straightforward contest of skill and reflexes. With no elaborate story or gimmicks, the focus stays on tight controls and quick thinking. Though simple, the game's design helped shape later pinball experiences with its mix of precision and speed. Exidy released it in December 1974, just months before the year switch, and it was later sold as different titles across Chicago Coin and Midway's catalogs. While not as celebrated as some arcades hits, TV Pingame holds a niche place in the genre's evolution. Its 70s-era charm and pick-up-and-play nature earned it a loyal following among purists who appreciate its no-frills approach to competitive scoring.
