     In the NOV/DEC issue of Info, they reviewd a game called 'Jinks'
that is supposed to be close to pinball. The review reads:

'Jinks plays like a sideways space-age pinball machine, with a playfield
filled with colorful rotating objects and Arkanoid-like bricks. Kind
of like a Breakout meets Pinball. The game is very bouncy, and it takes
some practice to get the hang of the deflecting ball where you want it
to go. I'd like to have seen the first level a little easier, and     
rstarting the game shouldn't take so long. ....'

Anyway, hope it helps.
