I used to play the crap out of Space Cadet when I was a kid. I remember I could just keep making that shot into the bumpers on the left and after upgrading them a few times the score would become hilariously high.
The Pinball Arcade by Farsight Studios has to be my favorite though. The fact they use real tables is what drew me, but the ball physics are actually quite good. They aren't perfect physics, and hiccups have happened to me, but it's pretty rare. I got so addicted to Black Hole, Monster Bash, and No Good Gofers for the longest time. There was a Whirlwind machine in a pizza place near me, that is obviously gone now. So being able to play Whirlwind and hear that -the storm is coming! - really great. Now if only I could time my fan to blow in my face at the correct times.

Nooo! You are completely and utterly wrong! 3D ultra pinball is amazing and by far the best pinball game for Windows 95. It has an actual space setting with the coolest special effects and the changing layout with bonus areas make every stage 3 times better than those found in other pinball games. You can spend hours upon hours playing this game without getting bored because it really is that awesome!
Though I do have to admit that I haven't played the game in over 20 years and I was pretty young at that time so my memories of the game might not be perfectly accurate.

I remember that game (and Creep Night; still have both around here somewhere. they were okay but definitely not my favorite video pins.
Ever try Microsoft Pinball Arcade? Tables modeled on classic Gottlieb tables, and even though the game came out around 1998 or so, it still works great even on modern systems. I have it configured to work with my Tankstick in an old Pengo cab.
The Pro Pinball Series by Empire/Another Cunning Development were also very good video pins.

Dude! You should try Pinball Arcade! I know you do more nostalgic stuff but Pinball Arcade offers digital representations of real Pinball tables such as Attack From Mars and Twilight Zone on systems like PS4 (the version I have. You can also download numerous other tables such as Terminator 2, Pinbot, Dracula, Starship Troopers, Addams Family, and many more.
Being a fan of Epic Pinball from my childhood, I was really happy to play that on on a newer system.

Not entirely sure. I loved real pinball games as a kid, and have loved them ever since. There's something inherently awesome about the physical-ness of it. Obviously, I am a big fan of actual pinball sims. But even if it's not the most accurate simulation, I like that computer pinball can do things that are impossible in real physical life.

I remembered Sierra's outpost back when I was trying out Columbia House (remember those? :p. got a very high rating from PC GAMER (back then was my choice of gaming reviews. until I realized how seem to be very influenced by the big developers) but never got the game for some reason. guess it worked out for the best; p

Clint when I was a kid there was some kind of pinball game on the Windows 98 SE Install disk. can't remember the name though. I found it awsome, but only some halloween styled table worked in the demo version and the full version had lots of tables from pinball history. looked freaking good, I always drooled on it: D

I just checked your video about top 90s games and holy crap, you just reminded me of one of my favorite childhood games I've ever played the sierra pinball. It was totally in the dark recesses of my mind completely forgotten. I wonder how many other games I've played as a child and I don't even remember. Thanks so much!

What I always really hated about Windows 3. 1 games and these early Windows 95 games was the title- and menubar. Most early windows games couldnt be switched to fullscreen, and the menubars reminded me of profane things like a file manager, a word processor or a spreadsheet software, which ruined every immersion for me.

Crystal Caliburn was my first pinball game, many hours were spent playing it at my grandfathers house on his old 486 running windows 95. The ball physics looked alot better than this, definately not as -floaty-. I think you can still get the demo from the littlewing website if you wanted to give it a try.
