I never really got into the 3D pinballs, for some reason those are less fun, maybe because visually they are harder to read? I always preferred the "2D" pinballs, with Pinball Dreams and Slam Tilt my two favourites. I still play those from time to time.

I remember that it was a lot easier if I had 10 instances of Winamp running at the same time, it was not just that time slowed, the physics was different. Was this ported?

It was a mini-game included by default in Microsoft Windows 2000.

Recently stumbled across a YouTube channel (no affiliation) where a guy is documenting his process of building a working physical replica of Space Cadet Pinball. I found the process pretty interesting. If you're intrigued: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU_02HABZ4s

I wasted my youth on this thing! So now I should waste my working hours on it?

That brings back memories. I didn't check if it store highscore, but remember finding how to edit to highscore list in the original game to totally destroy my brothers best score

Unrealistic physics. I had a ball last more than 10 seconds.
