Full Tilt! Pinball (also known as Pinball 95) is a pinball computer game developed by Cinematronics and published by Maxis in 1995. It featured prerendered 3D graphics and three "tables", which were essentially different games. The tables were called Space Cadet, Skulduggery, and Dragon's Keep. On each table, there were displays on the side which showed the players' score, ball number, player number, a display for various information and a table-specific image.

The Space Cadet table featured the player as a member a space fleet where they complete missions to increase their rank. Players accept a mission by hitting "mission targets" which selected which mission they will take and by going up the "launch ramp". Each mission has a set number of things for players to do, such as hitting the "attack bumpers" (which were a set of four bumpers at the top of the table) eight times. Missions would end either when the goal is met, or when all of the lights under the launch ramp would turn off. The lights would turn off after an amount of time, and could be each turned on by having the ball go over it, or by going on the launch ramp again. Upon completing a mission, lights in a circle in the middle of the tables light up. When all of the lights in the circle lit up, players' rank would increase. The ranks are Cadet, Ensign, Lieutenant, Captain, Lieutenant Commander, Commandor, Commodore, Admiral, and Fleet Admiral.

This table is also packaged with Microsoft Windows (originally packaged with the Windows 95 Plus! add-on) and is called 3D Space Cadet Pinball (sometimes referred to as 3D Pinball, Windows Pinball, or simply Pinball). The resolution in this version is considerably lower, the image on the side is a two-dimensional image as opposed to pre-rendered 3D and the words Maxis and Cinematronics have been changed from a yellow to a dark red, which makes it harder to see. It also sports a splash screen that merely says 3D Pinball and shows a small pinball graphic with faded edges. The Full Tilt! Pinball version has better animation, various resolutions that players can select from and multi-ball play.

If player types "hidden test", with a space, right as the game starts, the ball will follow the cursor. It is worth noting that the player is likely to accumulate so many points, the game will never end. Hitting the H button again during the test will result in a bug in which the game acts as you have gotten a high score and will display your score as 1,000,000,000. Pressing Y also acts as if you had completed a mission. Occasionaly, the screen will turn red if you do the bug.


There is a bug in the Windows XP version of this game where the ball will actually travel directly through the flipper if the flipper is dropped and then lifted again right as the ball is coming down towards the flipper. In real pinball this move is often used to "catch" a ball or reaction-strike it.


Skulduggery

Dragon's Keep
