Full Tilt! Pinball

I'll bet EVERYONE remembers this on some old Windows operating systems. And just in case, I left a few surprises in there

Such a classic. I always thought the physics were pretty good too considering the time it was created in.

I think I owned the only version of Windows 95 that didn't have this on it Though I have fond memories of playing at my uncle's house.

Well, Windows 95 didn't come with it. It came with the Plus! Pack for Windows 95. It was later included in Windows 98 I believe, and even in Windows XP. It didn't survive the 64-bit transition as it had a fatal collision detection flaw.

And there were some neat stories as well - apparently on a fast system, they were easily doing 100+ FPS (this was the XP era, so early 2000's system), so one mod was to lock it down to 60fps or so which meant your PC could actually do other stuff in the background.

I didn't realize that it was part of a pinball collection until earlier this year. Apparently there are few rule changes between the one Microsoft distributed and the one in Full Tilt (this dates back to the original Windows 95 version).

Full Tilt 2 had some cool tables for the time as well. Played them a ton...until Timeshock came along, then it was hard to go back to Full Tilt physics.

On PC I was into Epin Pinball particular the Android table. Then things like Pinball Illusions and Pinball Fantasies came long. Then Pro Pinball - The Web came along in the first half of the 90s and blew the rest out of the water. Good times.
