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]

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, LT 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]

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]

In late 2018, Microsoft employee Raymond Chen stated that there were multiple attempts to revive the game as a Microsoft Garage project. However, when Microsoft contacted the legal department to check the original license contract (originally written by Cinematronics) and see if they can release the new version, they were forbidden to release it as an independent entity as the game 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]

LittleWing's first computer pinball game, TRISTAN, was released in North America in 1991 and set a new standard for digital pinball. It was designed and programmed by Fujita, a pinball freak and his partner Reiko created the artwork, and released by a Canadian company AMTEX Corp

It has rather 'primitive' looks today, yet it grabbed pinball fans' heart for its real feel of the arcade pinball and won many prizes such as Best Simulation 1991 of Software Publishers Association(USA) and Game Hall of Fame 1992 of MACWORLD(USA).

TRISTAN sold from AMTEX has two package types. The one shown below is the second one. Originally a real pinball was enclosed as a free gift. However, as it broke the plastic filler in the packages and caused returns, it was replaced by a real flipper later.

To our great joy and surprise, TRISTAN is still loved by fans around the world. And we receive a message that the second generation fans now enjoy TRISTAN as well. Isn't it amazing? We are the luckiest digital pinball maker.

We are pleased to introduce the amazing project which proves the fact as follows.
Congratulations on building a Tangible Tristan

After launching, start a new game and shoot a ball with the plunger into the playfield and hit the ball with flippers just like arcade pinball machines. You can also nudge the playfield. Too much nudging causes 'Tilt'.-

Highscore:

TRISTAN stores four high score records with player names. If you hit a high score, program asks you to input your name after the game is over. Input operation uses the score window. You can choose alphabets with the left flipper button and the right flipper button.
The space bar enters the chosen alphabet character by character. Back space key deletes a character. Pressing mouse button exits the registration mode.

Assign Extra Keys:

You can rearrange the key assignment as you like. The original key setting will be also effective after changing key assignment. Dialog box will appear after choosing 'Assign Extra Keys' from menu, enter any key to each field.
There is pair of SHIFT, CTRL, ALT for both side of keyboard and these key does not work independentry. For instance, if you assign left SHIFT for left flipper both left and right SHIFT keys will activate left flipper. Please assign your keys carefully.

BNE members have created a dream machine for all Tristan fans. It brought us excitement and inspired our pinball spirits. The machine is superb not only in its appearance but also in its playability as a real arcade pinball machine.

It is really amazing to achieve the completion with parts and features all of which have been created by BNE itself. We are proud to introduce this great work here on this page to the pinball fans around the world. Thank you very much to the great guys at BNE.

Building Tristan

When we where still little kids we used to play Tristan at our 386-computer. Later on we met each-other on school during our study. With the three of us we decided to build a real version of the game 'Tristan' which originally was made by Littlewing as a computer game.

We where all very enthusiastic building the machine though it did cost a lot of time designing and constructing it. In total we spend over 1500 hours (500 hours a person) designing and constructing the machine in just halve a year. The machine seemed to be a big success. We managed to make a look a like Tristan with just minor differences with the game version.

The machine has the following features/specifications:

- The machine is driven by 6 micro processors which all perform their own tasks
- The machine weights 21 Kg
- Everything works electronically including flippers, ball reload, tristan spin, lock, collect bonus, ball blockers on the side of the machine
- The machine is able to create sounds, like bleeps and simple melody
- W x D x H (inches) = 15 x 21 x 12 (Height measured with the display closed!) - The machine includes the function tilt
- The display can be closed
- Except of a few electromagnetic-coils there are no other parts used from a real pinball machine, everything is handmade!
- All of the software, electronics and mechanics are made by ourselves
- The Flipper coarse includes 46 bulbs
- The machine can simply be connected to a regular power point

There are pictures available of the construction of the machine. If you would like to see the machine working then you can download the demonstration movie. We would like to thank Littlewing for their co-operation!

Greetings from the Netherlands,

BNE (Ben Lemmens, Nico Zink, Eddy Gotink)
