Not quite what you’d expect.
I’ve got to admit I had some pretty high hopes for this game since I used to play it quite often on my Windows Millennium Edition PC, but this isn’t quite what you’d expect if you were looking for the identical game. Let me explain why. The game does not allow three balls per game, it only allows two. You can get an extra ball to play a full game but it’ll cost you an add and about 30 seconds of your life. The high score board only shows the highest score, the original showed 5-10 scores. When you go into a telliporter a light used to blink three times signifying which port the ball was going to launch out of. There are no initial shot bonuses like the original. If you earn an extra ball from shooting the ramp to the right you never receive an extra ball. Points are not added instantly, for example when you hit a spinner the points don’t show up until the spinner is done moving. We also lost quite a bit of the original settings here for some reason.
For instance you could turn the music off and keep the sounds on in the original. With all that being said, it’s obvious there are plenty of bugs in the game, but if you can get past them then you’ll really enjoy this classic game.
A bit disappointing
I’ll start out by saying that of course it’s gonna be hard to measure up to the expectations that come with nostalgia. The game does great in some areas. The noises are the same, the layout of the board is the same, the game’s mechanics work similarly. It’s good to play when you’ve got a few minutes.
That being said, the game leaves much to be desired in some areas. Whenever the game would normally award you an extra ball, you get nothing here. Text comes up saying that you got an extra ball but you never get one. Games are limited to 2 balls, or 3 if you watch an ad. The physics that this game uses is a little different than the original.
The ball can get stuck in some places, the most frequent seeming to be by the black hole under the ramp on the left. When this happens the game just spawns a new ball at the top of the board.
My main thing is with the 2 ball limit with no way to get extras through gameplay. This really limits how far you can take the game, and when you can lose a ball through no fault of your own, the extra balls are an especially important mechanic.
Broken flippers and messy physics
The game is very fun and great for when you have a few minutes of free time. That being said; The flippers will give out and not work, conveniently when you need to get the hit to beat a score or hit a mission. After a high score is beat, the ball will drop straight between the flippers after the initial launch several times in a row. I beat my high score several times, and all times but one, the ball just fell straight through the gates right after the launch without me having the chance to hit it once.
The inconsistencies with the flippers are ridiculous as well. The physics are all jacked up. I’ll hit the launch pad ramp several times in a row trying to engage a mission, and the second I get the mission and need one more hit on the ramp, the power in the flippers change so I can no longer make the same shot I just made 5 times in a row. The reentry ramp or whatever it’s called has a nasty habit of sending your ball straight through the gates as well. If it’s coming down that ramp there’s a roughly 7/10 chance that it’ll just eat your ball. In short, the game plays like it’s rigged.

3D Pinball — Space Cadet
Softonic review
Classic pinball action for PC
3D Pinball — Space Cadet is a free arcade game for PC.
It is a classic Windows game introduced by Microsoft and was first included in its Windows 95 operating system back in 1995. This version of the game is compatible, can be installed and played on newer iterations of the operating system, including Windows 10.
3D Pinball — Space Cadet is much like other pinball games for PCs, such as Pinball Arcade. What makes the former unique is its origin and relation to the classic Full Tilt! Pinball games originally developed by Cinematronics. It’s based on its Space Cadet table theme.
What is 3D Pinball — Space Cadet?
Full Tilt! Pinball was a pinball game that was developed by Cinematronics back in 1995. It featured pre-rendered 3D graphics at the time and three tables. Each table had a display on either side that showed the players’ score, ball number, and player number. It also displayed various information and a table-specific background image to players.
Space Cadet was one of the three available tables for the game. In it, players take on the role of a member of a space fleet that completes missions to increase their rank. Players can attain nine ranks and they accept a mission by hitting «mission targets» which select which mission they will take, and by going up the «launch ramp».
3D Pinball — Space Cadet is a version of the game that can be played on recent Windows OS releases. Installation is easy and is just like any other program or game. One thing to take note of before you start playing is the game’s volume is raised to uncomfortable levels. Hence you might want to lower down your system volume first.
Reliving the classic pinball game
To anyone who has used the Windows operating system ever since its early days will take a trip down memory lane with 3D Pinball — Space Cadet. This nostalgic pinball game will look and play as it did all those years ago.
The gameplay experience that you know and love is kept intact in this version. It’s highly recommended for fans of the game.
PROS
- Easy installation
- Compatible with all versions of Windows
- Exactly the same gameplay experience as the original
CONS
- Loud volume levels set by default

How to play classic 3D Pinball on Windows 10
Egor Morozov
—
The last system that had 3D Pinball was Windows XP.
The reason for this is simple: an application written back in 1994, it was impossible to make it 64-bit without errors, and Microsoft did not want to release a 32-bit application as part of 64-bit Vista. Why not ask the developers about it, you ask? Cinematronics, the studio behind the game, was bought by Maxis in 1996. Maxis, in turn, was bought by EA in 1997. All the 3D Pinball developers have been working for other game studios for a long time and it was too expensive to put them together.
But still, there is a free and completely official way to play classic pinball even on Windows 10. To do this, you need the Windows XP Mode environment and an advanced archiver (such as 7-zip or WinRar). You can download the environment for free from the official Microsoft website. Now change the extension of the downloaded application to .zip and open it as an archive:
Go to the sources folder, double-click to open the xpm file, and then open the VirtualXPVHD file in the same way.
If you did everything right, you will see the standard Windows XP folders:
Go to Program Files > Windows NT and drag the Pinball folder to any place on the disk, then go into it:
You can run Pinball — it works almost complete: no issues with performance, graphics, sound, or controls, but your high scores only last until you restart:
