If you miss Pinball...
Some may not be aware of this but the 3D Space Cadet pinball game in Plus!
98, Windows NT, 2000 and XP was really just a stripped down version of a full game made by Maxis. It is called "Full Tilt! Pinball" and contains Space Cadet (a much better looking version) as well as two other tables. I bought my copy on eBay last year to use in XP, but it works fine in Vista also. :-) If you can't find Full Tilt though you can just copy the XP version into Vista, it works too.

Thanks Jane, that was certainly less complicated than I thought.

No problem. It seems to work just fine, wonder why they chose to omit it?

I don't know, possibly a licensing issue since it belongs to Maxis. Maybe
they didn't want to renew it, or more likely they thought it just looked too outdated for Vista compared to the other new games. "Peter" ex-brit AT rogers DOT com wrote in message ... No problem.

More like licensing issues than anything. See they worked with Oberon Games
to rework their games. Pinball is Maxis MS can't just ask Oberon games to rework someone else's work (or it would be uneconomical to ask Maxis to redo their game) "Catweazle" wrote in message ...
