Full Tilt! Pinball is a pinballvideo game developed by Cinematronics and published by Maxis in 1995. It features pre-rendered3D graphics and three tables—Space Cadet, Skulduggery, and Dragon's Keep. On each table, there are displays on the side that show the players' score, ball number, player number, a display for various information and a table-specific image.

Tables[edit]

Pinball by Maxis/Cinematronics (Win95/3.1, Mac CD-ROM) Reviewed: 09/1996, 11/1996 Full Tilt! Product Home Company Home. Tables: Space Cadet, Skulduggery, Dragon's Keep Multi-table package with three themes. Space Cadet originally came with the Microsoft Plus! Companion for Windows 95 and Full Tilt! Initially was only available for. Pinball is the first pinball simulation game developed by Cinematronics, LLC.The game includes three boards: Dragon’s Keep - Medieval Fantasy theme; Skulduggery - Pirate theme; Space Cadet - Space ship commander theme. Each board features the usual amount of bumpers, targets, ramps, etc.

Space Cadet[edit]

The Space Cadet table features the player as a member of a space fleet that completes missions to increase rank. Players can attain nine different ranks (listed from lowest to highest): Cadet, Ensign, Lieutenant, Captain, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Commodore, Admiral, and Fleet Admiral. Players accept a mission by hitting 'mission targets' which select which mission they will take, and by going up the 'launch ramp'. Each mission has a set number of things for players to do, such as hitting the 'attack bumpers' (which are a set of four bumpers at the top of the table) eight times (this is the 'target practice' mission). Some missions involve a number of steps which must be completed in sequence. Missions end either by being completed, or by being aborted due to running out of 'fuel', as indicated by the lights in the passage that passes under the launch ramp. The 'fuel' lights go out one by one at a time interval, and can be re-lit by having the ball go over them, or all at once by going up the launch ramp again. Upon completing a mission, some of the blue lights in a circle in the middle of the table turn on. When all of the lights in the blue circle turn on, the player's rank increases, and a light in the orange circle turns on.

Skulduggery[edit]

Full Tilt Pinball Fun! Brooke has really outdone herself this time. With a little inspiration from Xtreme, and plenty of help from the rest of her friends, she’s built a crazy pinball maze that you’ll just have to play to believe. Use the flippers to whack the ball up ramps, through tunnels and into the bumpers. Full Tilt Rakeback is an ambitious new poker room that was launched in July 2004. Fulltilt poker offers Deposit bonus 100% up to $600 and have a number of world-class poker pro endorsers, such as Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Phil Ivey,.

The Skulduggery table features a treasure hunt where the player must find Peg Leg's loot. The player can accomplish that two ways: either by piecing together a treasure map or by activating and completing a series of mini-games on the table called modes. Modes are like missions and quests of the other two tables. They are all pirate themed mini-games, such as ship battle, tavern fight, escape Bermuda Triangle, mutiny, and sword fight.

Dragon's Keep[edit]

The Dragon's Keep table features a fantasy environment where players must accomplish various quests, leading to the slaying of a dragon. The quests include Dragon Hoard (steal the hoard), Fire Lizard Attack (defeat the fire lizard), Rescue Maiden (rescue the damsel in distress), Dragon Pass (find the path to dragon's lair), Wizard's Fury, and Slay Dragon. The player can acquire awards such as spells, weapons, and armors. While weapons simply add points to the score, armors and spells temporarily turn on various gates, magnets, and chutes on the table to change the gameplay.

Elements from each of the three tables were elected for representation by Maxis in the illustration for the box art by Marc Ericksen, creating a montage below a hurtling Pinball.

3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet[edit]

3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet is a version of the Space Cadet table bundled with Microsoft Windows. It was originally packaged with Microsoft Plus! 95 and later included in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP. This version of Pinball, developed by David Plummer at Microsoft, was a port of the game using the original art and sound, developed in C for cross-platform support because Windows NT supported RISC processors and prior versions of the game contained x86 assembly language and 16-bit logic. The Windows 98 installation CD has instructions on installing Pinball 3D on this version of Windows which are partly wrong; Microsoft later issued an updated support article.^[1] Windows XP was the last client release of Windows to include this game.^[2]

The look and feel of Full Tilt! Pinball and 3D Pinball are similar, with a few exceptions: The latter contains only the Space Cadet table and only supports 640×480-pixel resolution, while the former supports three different resolutions up to 1024×768 pixels. The image on the side is a two-dimensional image as opposed to pre-rendered 3D. The words Maxis and Cinematronics have been changed from the yellow to a dark red, making them harder to see. It sports a splash screen that merely says 3D Pinball and shows a small pinball graphic with faded edges. Music is not enabled by default in 3D Pinball. It has fewer soundtracks that are inspired by the original game.

There are only a few minor differences between the gameplay of the two versions. The completion of a mission in the Maxis version results in a replay—actually a ball save, rather than a special—being awarded. In addition, hitting a wormhole that has the same color light locks the ball, which if done repeatedly activates the multi-ball round. This is not the case in 3D Pinball: Completing a mission merely awards bonus points and hitting a wormhole in the above circumstances awards a replay. Also, the three yellow lights above the bumpers (both in the launch ramp and in the upper table zone) act differently: In 3D Pinball these are turned off if the ball passes on them while they are on. This is not the case in the original game, where they just remain activated.

3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet was removed from later releases of Windows due to a collision detection bug in the 64-bit version of the game that Microsoft was not able to resolve in time for the release of Windows Vista.^[2]

Failed attempts for revival through Microsoft Garage[edit]

Full Tilt Pinball For Mac Catalina

In late 2018, Microsoft employee, Raymond Chen, stated that there were attempts to revive the game through a Microsoft Garage project. However, Microsoft contacted the legal department to check the original license contract (originally written by Cinematronics) and see if they can release the new version for Windows, but it forbid them to be released as an independent entity and was only made to be included with Windows 95 and subsequent Windows operating systems. ^[3]

Full Tilt! Pinball 2[edit]

Full Tilt! Pinball 2 was released in 1996 and features three new tables: Mad Scientist, Alien Daze and Captain Hero.

Reception[edit]

Reviewing the Windows version, a reviewer for Next Generation said that while the Space Cadet table is fairly good, the other two tables suffer from cluttered graphics and weak ball physics, making them 'incredibly difficult to follow.' He gave it two out of five stars.^[4]

Overall, 3D Pinball Space Cadet gained a cult following towards fans despite the game's removal from future Windows operating systems.^{[citation needed]}

Impact[edit]

On March 6, 2020, the sound effects of Space Cadet were sampled in a song, 'You Better Move' by Lil Uzi Vert, containing elements from the game. It captured positive reception from many nostalgic fans who grew up playing the game.^[5]

Full Tilt Pinball For Mac Download

Multi-table package with three themes.Space Cadet originally came with the Microsoft Plus! companion for Windows 95 andFull Tilt! initially was only available for Windows 95. This new multi-platformrelease proves that it doesn't require Windows 95 to show off your computer (I believeSpace Cadet was intended to demonstrate Windows 95's exclusive capabilities). The Windows 3.1 version runs as smooth and fast as the Windows 95 one. Full Tilt!uses a non-scrolling 3D view and supports resolutions up to 1024x768. Fast, pounding,modern-style tables with ramps, many worthwhile and challenging modes, multiballs,magnet fields and realistic sound effects including background music and speech(latter two tables only). Great ball physics and smooth handling. Configurable keyswith nudges for left, right and up; no ThrustMaster support (except for Windows95, which I couldn't verify). Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep distinguish themselvesfrom the slightly older Space Cadet. Space Cadet has unproportionally big flippersand overuses drop and letter targets. Score display not very attractive, a basic imageand some numbers pasted in, but Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep use it for dot-matrix imagery.Space Cadet sports a clear layout, the other two appear somewhat crowded at the top(a 2D view would be helpful for clarification but the single 3D view gives thegame more integrity). Space Cadet seems too generous with free balls and shoot-againsmaking gameplay more into an excercise in patience than a mean hunt for higherscores. Not so Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep: the speed and power of these twotables require all of your skills and wits. You can shoot the ball up with theflippers just as hard as it comes down from various targets. I like that consistency.Table rules are available in the online help only and include a labeled pictureof each table. I still would like a printed manual but I guess you can keep ahelp window open on your desktop while you learn the tables. The plunger can onlybe moved when the ball is in place - a slight annoyance. The nudges seem ratherineffective and Skulduggery and Dragon's Keep are hard to defend against drains,the lack of a ball saver during multiball can spoil the fun a bit, too.I am disappointed in the highscore table which uses plain Windows dialogueboxes for entry and display. The scores are saved in a .INI file and could betampered with. Full Tilt! is a state-of-the-art non-scrolling 3D package thatfalls short only in a few puritanical areas. I would like to see a highscorecontest to increase the replay value.
