3D Pinball Space Cadet Infinite 2023:
-Eye melting next generation 4k graphics and physics! Realistic shadows and ear melting 5.1 surround sound with EAX support (requires Sound Blaster card for audio)
-Requires internet connection on launch
-Slappin’ lit soundtrack by DJ Big Lil Cheesecake Fugg Face
-First three balls free, then requires a social media log in or 600 Microsoft Points per 7 balls
-$69.99 Limited Edition Unlocked Supreme version comes with unlimited balls, free security patches for 2 year life cycle of the game, unlocks objectives, missions and achievements.
-Ronald Reagan ball skins, Addams Family tables and tilt feature sold separately. Optional Mountain Dew background available.
-Plays at 25 frames per second, paddles T-pose randomly, servers constantly overloaded, on release. 7th generation i5 processors literally melt and catch on fire for an unknown reason, a dozen people die in house fires in the first 12 hours of the game coming out. Developers release a long form apology statement on Twitter.
-Patch to address the above requires Windows Defender to be completely uninstalled from the system in favor of McAffee Antivirus and VPN services. But an old, unsupported build of those for some reason.
-Seasons and competitive mode TBA.
I just want to take a moment real quick to highlight that you wrote out the phrase “Ronald Reagan ball skins.”
- FREE! rootkit with every install
- Progression system with skill trees for paddles, launcher, and tilt
- Level-locked missions
- 150% XP Time SaverTM sold separately. Eat my ass, Ubisoft!
- Daily login rewards with bonus for no days missed
- Pay to have loot boxes dropped onto the table (you have to hit them to unlock, so it’s totally not gambling!)
- Visual downgrade controversy, for some reason
What is there to remaster?
For anyone on Android, you can get the game here
There is also an open source version you can get on Github for android https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android
… and that was the end of my productivity for the day.
Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?
idk about you but this is a valid question that could be discussed if you werent so full of yourself
🥇
Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.
Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games
Honestly, a community like /r/games without the power mod approach to what articles can be posted would be really nice.
It’s definitely a valid question though, because Lemmy is going to be just as vulnerable as reddit to the problem of how much quicker low-effort memes accrue upvotes, which naturally results in them drowning out articles and discussion posts. The latter, despite being more interesting and generally “higher-quality”, will always take more time per-user to engage with - so, in systems like this, they naturally fall behind in both pace and volume of upvote.
ah yes the gaming v games debate continues on a new platform, very interesting
You can find several ports of pinball on GitHub. https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android is the android version I like to use.
Wow, right in the nostalgia.
I’ll let Dave explain: https://youtu.be/ThxdvEajK8g
And here’s the blog from the other guy - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20121218-00/?p=5803
Hey, Dave!
If only I could be as cool as that Dave.
Best comment here, please remember to boost this post so people can see it!
It would be soo cool if they open-sourced this game at this point.
… like why not?
Well lucky for you someone has already done the work! SpaceCadetPinball
Honestly I’m bored enough to open Unity and get to work, but someone’s probably already got a project on GitHub.
Twas remastered in 2021 in the Microsoft Store my dude. Have fun
I just tried it, and wow, that is really bad actually. Genuinely much worse than finding a download of the original version.
Do you happen to know where I could find an original download?
You can always go check out Dave’s garage on YouTube hes got a nice video on it and links to aquire it
How about a web version?
Isn’t there already a remaster? I came around this one from the KDE discovery.
It’s not really a remaster, it’s an open-source re-implementation. But I guess it could be used as a base for a remaster
Who needs a remaster? This is perfect.
Speaking of windows 95, any nostalgia communities yet?
Make one, I’ll sub.
Careful what you wish for. 2024 EA announces remaster of Zen Pinball.

I played a similar table on Virtual Pinball X. It was a lot of fun.
