In spite of licensing the name from Broderbund, the Atari 2600 version of Midnight Magic uses a completely different table design from David's Midnight Magic, a pinball simulation published for the Apple II in 1982.
Midnight Magic uses the CX40joystick for activating the flippers and shooting the ball. Moving the joystick controller down pulls the pinball machine plunger back while pressing the joystick button shoots the ball into the playfield. The left and right flippers are activated by moving the joystick controller left or right. Hitting all five drop targets at the top of the table increases the bonus multiplier (2x, 3x, and so on). Extra balls can be earned when hitting the rollover targets at the top left and right corners of the table when the bonus multiplier is activated.[2]
