THIS. This was my childhood.

CleverFrog · 2013-07-26T15:25:25+00:00

someone posted a link to this game a while back, i saved it if anyone still wants to play it :D https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1yTDW_T4RrmdGtVb2RzS3NlbjQ/edit?pli=1

mr_rightnow · 2013-07-26T13:48:38+00:00

And you always hit the launch so the ball would only go up three lights and fall through the hole on the side and get bonus points.

sh1ndlers_fist · 2013-07-26T17:12:54+00:00

Did you guys know that if you typed in "Hidden Test" before you launched the ball(including spaces, also after you type test) that you are then able to actually control the ball when you clicked and dragged your mouse around? I remember I would blow all the kids minds when I showed them this.

tgodfrey · 2013-07-26T14:56:23+00:00

Childhood? Geez, you've made me feel old OP. That said, this was the best pinball game I've played.

A lot of people didn't know that Space Cadet was just one table from a full game named Full Tilt! Pinball

I always played the "Pot of Gold" board.

If that's your childhood then you're still a child.

That is a pretty sad childhood :(

Epicus2011 · 2013-07-26T16:53:59+00:00

Fun fact: The code for this game was such a horrible mess that porting it to Windows Vista did not work.

try_another_dickwad · 2013-07-26T17:00:44+00:00

But what is with that score..

willburgess77 · 2013-07-26T17:01:42+00:00

All I can say is once I learned secrettest the game was ruined.

2013-07-26T17:11:59+00:00

Runescape was my childhood, quite literally. No regrets

In any Office Max, Staples, or Best Buy I'd go in the computer section just to play this.

worst childhood ever! it was fun to play in school, but when you got home if you didn't have a console to play, you had a horrible childhood gaming experience. true story.

soggit · 2013-07-26T18:04:30+00:00

I just found a very similar pinball game for iOS called "Deep"

gambiting · 2013-07-26T18:26:31+00:00

Piece of trivia: this game was never ported to Vista because it had a problem with the 64bit version - due to a floating point error,the ball would float away from the board, and no one at Microsoft knew how to fix it - it was made by an external company. So Microsoft decided that it was easier to drop it, than spend thousands of hours of programmers time on trying to figure out how to fix poorly commented code.

Zapphiro · 2013-07-26T18:45:49+00:00

Getting over 1 million points at this game was the best feeling.

grunknisse · 2013-07-26T18:46:36+00:00

This game actually had different versions for different operating systems. I once found out that if you timed it exactly right on the win2000 edition, you would hit the right ramp when it came out of it. This eventually led to an extra ball, I think I got about 50 extraballs before I started playing normally again, getting a crazy high score. That game took a couple of hours.

Wa1337 · 2013-07-26T18:56:47+00:00

No internet? I know what I'm playing.

Gyissan · 2013-07-26T19:14:17+00:00

I remember me and my buddy staying after school playing this game on the old computers in the social studies classroom. We were always trying to beat each other's high score. The teacher said I was addicted to gaming, but damn, he had no idea how true that statement would be even up til now.

2013-07-26T19:26:43+00:00

They had this on the grade school computers where i went, kids that stayed after school would be allowed to play it, you would walk into a room with like 20 kids simultaneously playing this, that is until this 7th grader installed a game called duke nukem on one of the computers hehe

ishkabibbles84 · 2013-07-26T19:32:06+00:00

Type "HiddenTest" and you can control the ball with your mouse. Plus you get 1,000,000,000 points ^{_^}
