[Intro]
What's happening?
Remember I used to play that pinball game?
Let's go
Lil Uzi Vert
Ooh, you better move (That was before I had Internet)

[Chorus]
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
You better move, you better move
You better move, you better move
Louis my shoes
Pull out my whip on twenty-twos
I saw your girl, I had to scoop
Just like a bird, she gonna swoop
Neck is achoo, might catch the flu
Banana clip straight from the zoo

[Verse 1]
I'm like Mother Goose, if I say shoot, they gonna shoot
No, I'm not sweet, I just got flavor
Don't need no to water to mix up this juice
They say "Why your chain it look like a choker?"
That's for the slaves that had to wear the noose
Uh, no, you can't cuff me, baby, let me loose
The way that I live, baby, that's a roof
Matchin' closet, it came with a pool
Bro moving 8 balls, not no pool
If you ask me his name then I don't have a clue (Woah)
Make 'em hit the folks every time that I shoot
Too much money, I'm evil from the root
Yeah, my shows they bust right through the roof
Saw your crowd at your concert on snooze
I'm a dog, bitch, I howl at the moon
I remember when I didn't have cable
That was back when I used to watch Zoom
[Chorus]
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
You better move, you better move
You better move, you better move
Louis my shoes
Pull out my whip on twenty-twos
I saw your girl, I had to scoop
Just like a bird, she gonna swoop
Neck is achoo, might catch the flu
Banana clip straight from the zoo

[Verse 2]
I live my life like a cartoon
Reality is not my move
I don't know why that girl so rude
Oh, that's 'cause her jeans, they from Rhude
You better have you a real good excuse
He want the smoke, but I don't got a Juul
I'm like Mother Goose, if I say shoot, they gonna shoot
Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh, you wanna duel?
Blue-Eyes White Dragon, no, I will not lose
When I hit my dance, got unlimited moves
Countin' twelve thousand and that was by noon
Yeah, step on competition, changin' my shoes
Green shirt, bitch, I'm Steve, where is Blue?
Every chain on I pity a fool
I'm an iPod, man, you more like a Zune
Made her eat on my dick with a spoon, ew
Versace drawers, bitch, you Fruit of the Loom
Yeah, yeah, Fruit of the Loom

[Chorus]
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
Ooh, you better move
You better move, you better move
You better move, you better move
Louis my shoes
Pull out my whip on twenty-twos
I saw your girl, I had to scoop
Just like a bird, she gonna swoop
Neck is achoo, might catch the flu
Banana clip straight from the zoo

[Outro]
Woah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Instalar o Windows 95 (ou era o 98) e descobrir que uma mesa de pinball já vem instalada foi sem dúvidas uma das melhores surpresas que tive na década de 90. E como eu aproveitei.

Foram meses e meses e meses jogando todos os dias um pouco de Space Cadet, tentando quebrar os próprios recordes e alternando com meu irmão na liderança do ranking.

Muito mais que uma mesa simplória, Space Cadet oferecia missões que desafiavam a habilidade do jogador em lançar a bolinha onde necessário, convidado a um replay virtualmente infinito.

Só tenho boas lembranças.

Oh my fuckin' god I remember this game. I used to play the shit out of this when I was a kid. This was the kind of game you would play back in the day when there was no internet or when your dial-up connection was on the fritz again lol.

Lot of these old PCs would come pre-installed with Solitaire, Paint, Minesweeper, and of course this game.

I was like 7 or 8 years old when I played this for the first time. I used to visit my cousin's house frequently and while he was in the living room playing games like Grand Theft Auto 3 and State of Emergency on the PS2, I would play on his PC in his bedroom and it would have this game installed on it.

See, the grownups like my brother would play games on PC like DOOM and Mafia, but me, I would play this.

The amount of childhood memories that came back to me after seeing this game again actually made me feel EXPERIENCE TRANQUILITY.

The kids in school would play this all the time as well and I would also play this along with Super Mario Flash games.

I find it hard to believe I'm getting so nostalgic over a fuckin' pinball game but here I am lmao.

But the game really is iconic. Of course, playing it isn't as satisfying as playing on a real pinball machine, obviously you can't slam your keys harder to hit the ball harder, but what makes it special is the presentation.

The old school pre-rendered graphics, the sound of a Deloran taking off when you start up the game, and the general sound effects while playing, especially when you rack in a multipier, it's all as iconic as Ferrero Rocher chocolate.

The sound effects are so well known that they were used in music such as You Better Move by Lil Vert Uzi, which, if anyone has ever listened to that song will might have unlocked any sort of small memory they had with this game.

But there is also the mentality of achieving that high score. Racking up as many points as possible so that you could show it off with your friends or your siblings. I would play this game with relatives and whoever got the highest score would get to play on the PS2 or the Xbox. I would play for hours on end just so that I can get a minimum of 5 million points, it was that addicting.

These days there are better pinball games out there, but this one in particular is special to me because it takes me a back to a much simpler time. It's like I'm having a fuckin' mid-life crisis at the age of 24 lmao.

You can pretty much download this game and play it whenever you want to, which is a fun ass game to play either whenever you're really bored, or God Forbid, the Wi-Fi goes out.

Fun Fact: Would you believe that this game is actually one part of a three table experience? This three table pinball game is called Full-Tilt! Pinball

3D Pinball Space Cadet is just a demo of Full Tilt. The game actually came on a CD-ROM that you would purchase and then insert into your PC.

There were actually updates given to the Space Cadet table in this full release such as higher saturation, an altered design on the table itself, the inclusion of multi ball play, additional background music, and the ability to play at full screen at higher resolutions of up to 1024 x 768, which on a CRT display looks really really nice, and for its time, it's pretty damn impressive.

The second table is themed after pirates and going on a quest for booty and then the third one is a medieval dragon's lair style in which you go on "Quests", obtain weapons and armor, and then slay a dragon.

Slaying a dragon, in a fucking pinball game. Even nowadays that sounds cool as shit. I never got a chance to play that though as I never knew that this whole time, Space Cadet was just a demo.

Imagine that. My generation was raised playing a demo without even realizing the whole time that it was a demo. What an absolute epic fail for the people who were in charge of marketing lol.

8/10 (9/10 for Full-Tilt version)

10/10 Nostalgia
