If Microsoft ports this to Windows 11 I still won't use Windows 11

"Alas, Space Cadet is going...
Undesired, unwanted them,
What makes them go?
It is nothing else than the

"There is no 'absolute',

Occasionally you get lost

In order to overcome,
you need a firm conviction,

But can't you understand it?

It was the 90s and kids needed something to alt+tab into when they heard their parents coming down the hall as the dial up chugged to load that 18+ jpeg pixel line by pixel line.

If your parents never asked you why you were so sweaty and nervous while you lied through your teeth that you just got your high score on 3D Pinball: Space Cadet did you really even have a childhood?


Fuck minesweeper, this is actually the goat

For a free pinball game that came with your Windows, this game was a quite nice distraction. I appreciate that it wasn't too generic, and had a little bit of personality to it.

Fun Fact: You can download the executable file for this game online and play it on any computer you want.

I played it so much that my wife left me.

first videogame i played :')

fond memories

Played this on my grandma's computer when I was a little kid. Good times.

yes mom i know norton has to restart for a virus sweep but i gotta beat my high score

modern games wishes they were this game

When I was 6 my grandma wouldn't let me put Lego Island on her computer because she thought it "might have a virus" since I got my copy from the library and then burnt it (a process which, in her mind, invited potential digital dangers). Instead I had this to keep me occupied and it potentially saved me from running into the street and dying in an attempt to find SOME source of stimulation other than the bible or the three Nickelodeon shows I was allowed to watch. Good fun, nice sound effects, 3 stars.

This is a certified hood classic.

Don't call yourself a real PC Gamer unless you've played THIS classic.

This is obviously when video games peaked

it was there for me when I in school and didn't want to do my work

It's solid, but basically baby's first pinball table and I can only hope that playing this got some people interested in real pinball so they could experience the masterwork tables by Gottlieb, Williams, Bally and Stern.

It might just be a pinball video game, but I still have to say it was one of the, if not even the best pre installed video game on Windows PCs back in the days.

I played it for literally hours and probably wasted way to much time in it.

i played this as a small child and my little brother had a paralyzing fear of this game he would start screaming and sobbing violently whenever he heard it start up


The future looked bright from your view sitting in front of your friends family computer when they booted this up.

hold on babe, you look so tense and grumpy today. why don't you just relax? i can massage your skull (raw, no skin) if it'll help you relax babe.
