PinBot is an arcade pinball game released in 1988 under license from Nintendo of America, and published as part of their PlayChoice-10 system. Designed for two players simultaneously, PinBot utilizes a Zilog Z80 processor to manage gameplay alongside the N2A03 chip for sound. Players control flippers with an eight-way joystick and use two buttons to activate additional actions within the pinball table’s design. The PlayChoice-10 version offers a unique arcade experience, though those seeking more information about the game's narrative or deeper mechanics might be best served by exploring the original NES release. As with any pinball title, the core objective involves skillfully maneuvering a ball around obstacles and targets to accumulate points. PinBot’s hardware features both an N2A03 chip for sound and a DAC, contributing to the game's audio presentation within the PlayChoice-10 arcade cabinet.
