Would that be a Sears Pinball Breakaway or Atari Video Pinball?
(They're the same thing, just different names and, IIRC, cases.)

I'm happy to say I have all my original stuff, console and computer,
too.  Well, I've actually misplaced a couple computer games, but I'm
sure they're around somewhere.  Just got to find the right box.

That's a shame, because I still don't have Montezuma's Revenge. 8)

Tsk, tsk.  You should listen to your mother, you know. 8)  Luckily, I
come from a family of packrats, so hanging on to all my 2600 boxes
(games, system, and even an extra joystick, I think) wasn't a problem.
