==3D Pinball for Windows: Space Cadet== {{Infobox VG | width = | title = 3D Pinball for Windows: Space Cadet | image = Pinnball space cadet.jpg | caption = A screenshot of the Space Cadet table | aspect ratio = | resolution = | developer = [[Cinematronics, LLC|Cinematronics]] | publisher = [[Microsoft]] | distributor = | designer = | license = | series = | engine = | version = | released = [[1995 in video gaming|1995]] | genre = [[Arcade game]], [[pinball]] | modes = [[Single player]] | ratings = | platforms = [[Microsoft Windows]] | media = [[Compact disc|CD]] | requirements = | input = [[Computer keyboard|Keyboard]] }} '''3D Pinball for Windows: Space Cadet''' (referred to as '''3D Pinball''' or simply '''Pinball''') is the version of the game bundled with various [[Microsoft]] products. It was originally packaged with [[Microsoft Plus!|Microsoft Plus! 95]] and later included in [[Windows NT]], [[Windows Me]], [[Windows 2000]] and [[Windows XP]]. Instructions are available from Microsoft on how to install it on [[Windows 98]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188204|title=How to Install 3D Pinball Using Windows 98 CD-ROM|date=2007-01-23|work=Help and Support |publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=2008-06-18}}</ref> [[Windows XP]] is the last version of Windows to include the game, as it was removed in [[Windows Vista]], However success has been reported in porting this game over to [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows 7]] in both [[32-bit|32]] and [[64-bit]] Environments. 3D Pinball can be downloaded from [http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwUuY6vDQ41dYzQwNjRlYmMtODBkYy00NDQzLTlkZTYtYzM1MzE4NjFkODY0&export=download here].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mspinball.weebly.com/index.html|title=Microsoft Pinball For Windows Vista & 7|accessdate=2010-05-18}}</ref> As the Maxis version contained significant portions of [[x86 assembly language]], much of the game had to be rewritten in [[C (programming language)|C]]{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} to accommodate the [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]], Alpha, and [[PowerPC]] platforms that Windows NT supported at the time. It contained only the Space Cadet table. The graphics of this version are only available in the 640x480 resolution, while the Maxis version comes in 3 different resolutions adjustable to a maximum of 1024x768. 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 also sports a [[splash screen]] that merely says ''3D Pinball'' and shows a small pinball graphic with faded edges. The look and feel of the two versions are similar, except ''Full Tilt! Pinball'' version has better animation, various resolutions that players can select from and [[Glossary of pinball terms#M|multi-ball]] play, and extra music and sound. Music is not enabled by default in the Windows version. The gameplay in both versions is almost identical except for a few minor differences; most notably the completion of a mission in the Maxis version resulted in a "replay" (actually a ball save rather than a [[Glossary of pinball terms#S|special]]) being awarded and hitting a wormhole that has the same color light activating the multi-ball round; these are not the case in the Windows version, where completing a mission merely awards bonus points and hitting a wormhole in the above circumstances awards a replay. <!-- Do not add the "hidden test" cheat, please. It's not really notable on an encyclopedia article. As well, do not add the ball dragging cheat. --> <!-- ^Thanks for ruining the fun, asshole.^ -JNAtheDUDE -->
