Aside from numerous Superman tables available recently due to the release of the movie, I hardly see any mention of Atari pinballs here at all. Last time I think I laid hands on one myself was probably 1979 or so, so I assume they're pretty rare. Granted they're kinda cheesy overall, but Atari's artwork & presentation at the very least was always first-rate, so what's the story, are they just no fun? Poor gameplay? Haven't held up well over the years?

Is Space Riders a fun game? What triggered my post was seeing an SR for sale nearby.

An Atari artwork book is a great idea. Not just pinballs, but their video games, and the boxes/instructions for every home system from the 2600 up thru the Atari computers had great artwork. I'd buy a copy.
