is it playable on modern windows?

>>7952567
funny you ask. I'm actually playing while i'm waiting for replys. And yes, i have a windows 10 computer.

oh yo it works

>>7952637
indeed it does. All ya gotta do is find an installer for it and install it. I just got mine from some abandonware website.

>>7952560
There was a brief period where I got my first PC in my room and played this a ton as a kid. I was also playing Tekken 3 a bunch at the time and loved King, so I always used the name KING for my high scores.

>>7952651
Love that! I dont know why I always used "Tofu" as my name.. It for some reason was always my childhood favorite thing, and im not even vegan or any culture that regularly eats tofu. Its always kinda stuck tho,, even to my current online handles. xD

>>7952661
>ecks dee
Stop that.

I like your style OP, I'm playing right now, what's your high score?

>>7952669
end my suffering please :D

>>7952670
not too high atm. I just re installed but im at 611,750 is my highest without really focusing much.

>>7952661
Tofu sounds pretty good as a name, I like it. I just found out what mapo tofu is, looks tasty too.

>>7952560
I always loved that game, played it a lot, got pretty good.
Highscore was around 8,000,000, of course I can't prove that now. But I just might reinstall it, been playing DX Ball instead.

>>7953051

>>7952560

What a delicious thread. I will beat you faggots. Let's do it.

>>7952693
>>7952697
Damn you guys are good. What's the meta? Upgrade weapons and do missions?

>>7953086
Will do, I'm currently trying to get it running via >>7953120 because fullscreen colors are all fucked up.

>>7953086
Here you go, highscore of the first round.
I think that 8mil record was my very first or something like that, I'm pretty sure I broke the 14mil mark before.
I forgot how much fun this is.

Second try, much worse.

>>7952560
I remember getting a crazy high score on a school computer before class started with a ton of people watching. It was like 3-4x what I've been able to get when actually trying. I was possessed or something.

>>7952661
>xD

Fuck off

>last ball at 4mil
>manage to get two extra balls, one replay and meteor storm
Also, post more scores.

>>7952560
Always makes me think of this song that uses all the SFX from that game.

>>7953489
impressive!

>>7954040
Actually I fuck things up pretty regulary. I never even use the table bump, which could easily get me out of nasty situations.

Interesting what can be achieved with a proper strategy. I just try to do missions.

Goddamn, i just woke up and this thread is still alive? Thank yall for the input. I appreciate it!

>>7954581
There is a sliver of hope for nu-/vr/

>>7954153
lol I'm trying not to get discouraged by this.

>>7955128
Nonsense, go on and have some fun.

I love this game so much just for its current simplicity and being able to bring back such fond memories.

>>7952560
I never liked to play it because it was thoroughly unimpressive compared to Epic Pinball

>>7952560

Surprisingly good for bloat/shovelware (it technically was) but I wish they would've gotten rid of that ugly cartoon spaceman. It kinda ruined it for me.

I wish they made an upgraded version with a qt cartoon space-waifu instead. I'd download in a heartbeat.

I loved the bgm and sound fx too. It sounds good to belong in a regular vidya.

>>7957829
the flipper sounds are so fucking satisfying.

If you haven't tried visualpinball you should, it's a free low rent version of the modern simulators like pba, the physics are solid, visually there's no tracking 3d and the lighting system is primative but the boards look like the boards. basically has every notable table released,

>>7952560
Why did this game table bump controls? They always blocked my flippers. I removed the bindings to those keys because as a kid i pressed them on accident all the time.

>>7957821
Download the original Full Tilt version like the other screenshots in this thread depict. It's higher resolution and doesn't have the cartoon spaceman. You also get 2 other tables.

The one you're familiar with is basically a lower resolution shareware version.

>>7954153
every time i play 3d pinball my ball almost immediately tanks and drifts right in between the flippers o_o
then again i never took the time to actually git gud at pinball so...

>>7958490
>so...
What did Xhe mean by this?

>>7952560
It's a pretty good bundle, but no Chip's Challenge.

Good one.

TILT

Tilt version i grabbed appears to be 16 bit, and the win95 version works but the ball seems to flicker/disappear on some frames. Any tips to get a better version, or make it run nicer on 64bit win 10?

>>7953051
Nice, I remember I played until I broke 1,000,000 and then I dropped it. So I would say that was my high score.

>>7952560
There was a guy making a physical version of this. He posted some progress pics up until the point where it was structurally together and he started getting some of the mechanics in, then disappeared.
Was disappointed. I hope he got it done.

>>7962487
thats super dope, wish I couldve witnessed it.

>>7961572
Bumping this, i'm wondering if >>7953489 is running in a win7/vista VM?

>>7963917
Yeah, Win7 Professional x64. I followed the instructions from >>7953120

>>7953291
How weird to see space cadet with that artwork

Just managed to beat my 18mil highscore.

>>7965957
Yeah kinda, but I really like this one and got used to it easily. Now I somehow remember Commander Keen being in the old art.

>>7966586
And just now I realize that it's a nice round number. This will look good in the list.

>>7953120
>>7963931
Cheers, this "lifesupport" mod gets it playable. It leaves a little to be desired (can't move window, full screen is a bit buggy). Does anyone know if this launcher mod is open source?

I actually prefer early maelstrom lol

>>7952560
I have an uncle who's autistically obsessed with this game

>>7966882
I had to switch the exe to win95 compatibility mode to get the highscore to save, did you try anything like that?

>>7967210
I notice the same bug, but havent tried any compat options yet. Thanks for the tip.

~16 mill personal best, took 10 missions.
when i use to play this as a kid i never got more than 2-3 million, i should have read the mission text and paid attention to the arrows.

if you guys are looking for a newer pinball game, Demon's Tilt is excellent

>>7967314
For me, it's Addiction Pinball.

>>7967314
Looks interesting, apparently a remake.

>>7967315
Looks realistic, but kind of hard to see the top half of the board due to the perspective.
