What Midnight Magic is
Midnight Magic is an arcade game developed by Brøderbund Software and released in 1981. It was published by Atari Corporation. It is available on Atari 2600, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore C64/128/MAX, NEC PC-6000 Series, PC-8800 Series and PC-9800 Series.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Midnight Magic utilized the Atari 2600 joystick for performing simulated pinball functions, such as 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.
