Mark Plays… Full Tilt! Pinball On Windows 3.11 (Pentium III 550 on Aopen Slot 1, S3ViRGE/DX,HD-CF)

#Pinball #Windows3 #Gameplay

Space Cadet Pinball known to most people as the Pinball table that was found within quite a few of the earlier Windows NT/XP releases actually originated at Maxis as part of a threesome in a Windows 3.x compatible game called Full Tilt! Pinball.

The two other tables are quite distinct from Space Cadet although I must say I think Space cadet is the better table of all three.

Capture was hampered as I only succeeded in capturing the footage at a mere 25fps. It didn’t want to go higher or it lost sync. This results in the pinball moving more jerky across the table then it did in reality. In reality on this system the gameplay was quite smooth – 60fps where the ball rolled smoothly across the table. All in all I didn’t think the footage was good enough to use within a more elaborate video on early MS-DOS and Windows Pinball games. But it I’d still like to share it as it does give a nice look into these early Pinball games.
