So many hours given to this game. I can still hear the sounds even though i haven't touched it in years. This was THE game to play on pc when you had nothing else. If a game deserves to be preserved, this is one of them. I'd pay for this just cause of how fun it was
If you were a kid in the 90's you remember this game and loved it. I was obsessed with this game and still play it. I even found a recreation of it on pinball x that is probably my most played table on my home machine.
I still have this installed on my current Windows 10 laptop. This game has been the one constant in life on all my familes windows computers. Even when I vist my family every once and a while and they need help with thier computer I still see the little icon for this game.
​3D Pinball: Space Cadet is a beloved classic that many remember fondly from its inclusion in Windows operating systems. Originally part of Full Tilt! Pinball (1995), it was later bundled with Windows XP and earlier versions, becoming a nostalgic favorite for countless users.​ Why It Needs to Be on GOG: Nostalgic Value: For many, Space Cadet was their introduction to digital pinball, offering hours of entertainment. Its inclusion in Windows made it accessible to a vast audience, creating lasting memories.​ ClassicReload.com Cultural Impact: The game's distinctive sounds and gameplay have left a mark on pop culture, with elements even being sampled in modern music .​ Preservation: While the game is available through various means, having it officially on GOG would ensure its preservation and accessibility for future generations.​ Community Support: There's a growing demand for its re-release, with many fans expressing their desire to see it available on modern platforms .​ Bringing 3D Pinball: Space Cadet to GOG would not only honor its legacy but also introduce it to a new audience, ensuring that this piece of gaming history remains accessible for years to come.​

Pokémon Pinball
Pokémon PinballThere are two tables in the game, red and blue. Each table has its own details and gameplay elements. Each table has different "locations" that you play, which determine which Pokémon are available for capture. A subset of available locations are displayed slot-machine style in the beginning of a game, and pressing A will select your starting location and launch the first ball into play. After that, each table has its own mechanism for advancing to the next location, including the locations not available at the start of the game. "Catch Mode," when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you can attempt to capture a Pokémon. Once you activate "catch mode," you must hit the pop bumpers 6 times. Each hit unlocks 1/6 of an image of the Pokémon currently up for capture. Once the image is complete, the Pokémon appears on the table, where it must be hit 4 times with the ball to capture it. "Evolution Mode," when activated, starts a 2 minute window of opportunity where you select a captured Pokémon (from the current game in progress only) and attempt to evolve it into another form. This is the only way to add the evolved form to your Pokédex. Once you select a Pokémon, you must hit targets on the playfield. There are up to 6 targets, but only 3 of them have items in them you need to evolve a Pokémon. The others create a time-wasting sequence before you can hit targets again. If you hit a target with an item, the item appears on the playfield and must be collected with the ball. Once you've collected 3 items, the hole in the center of the board opens up. Sinking the ball in the hole successfully evolves the Pokémon.
