I remember having a good time playing this game many years ago. Thanks for sharing the article on how to get it in Windows 10.

just played a match on my w10 pc, works like a charm though a bit blurry on my high end monitor.

Hopefully, Microsoft would release a newer version of 3D Pinball Spaceball which looks good on newer monitors and TVs.

I highly doubt it, if they did it be hidden behind a bunch of paid walls.

Maybe there would be a web browser version or streaming version of 3D Pinball space on Xbox's streaming service.

I don't know who owns the rights anymore and much like all past games if they even own the game code anymore.

I think Microsoft can always recreate a similar Pinball game with Xbox characters from games like Halo.

nah, that would ruin the appeal of it.

I guest Microsoft can always buy the code.

I wouldn't trust a company who ended the greatest OS (xp) to invest money into a old code.

3D Pinball Space Cadet can become free and open source like Linux, LibreOffice and Firefox where volunteers work on the code.

So the game is a bit glitchy, but still playable.

It is good to hear that it is still playable and the glitches don't make it unplayable.

I may have to look and see if there is a coder that would bring this game up to snuff.

I think installing Windows XP on a Virtual Machines in Windows 10, making a dual boot PC or buying a cheap Windows XP to play 3D pinball may work at playing the game without glitches.

a hassle, but that would work.

I agree it would be a hassle.

I feel using a Virtual Machine software is less of a hassle compared to dual-boot computers and finding an older XP computer. Some PC users may already have a virtual machine to use Windows XP pre-installed on the Virtual machine. There are users who use a XP Virtual machine software to use very old software and games which don't work in Windows 10.

Came across this great gameplay of it.

Is there a way to install the Full Tilt version instead of the 3D Pinball version?
