Davids Midnight Magic

written by David Snider and released by Brøderbund in 1982. The game was published in Europe by Ariolasoft.

David’s Midnight Magic is closely modeled after the popular real-life pinball table Black Knight, released by Williams in 1980.[citation needed] The computer simulation, unlike Black Knight, contains bright colors such as green, pink, and blue (depending somewhat on the version of the game) in contrast to Black Knight’s darker medieval theme.These colors were used to great advantage by illustrator Marc Ericksen as he produced for Broderbund one of his earliest game art efforts showing a pinball player’s face reflected on a floating chrome pinball, with the pinball game surface floating over a ghostly desert scene. The same art was used in the Atari 2600 version, but the reflection of the player was removed.. Atari released a pinball game called Midnight Magic for the Atari 2600 that plays differently from the similarly named David’s Midnight Magic.
