I just remember you could hit ctl or alt and it would jiggle the screen. If you did it too much, it would void the game due to tilt.
It basically simulated the real world pinball machines that you could smack or jostle a little too when the ball got stuck or was about to roll straight down the middle. They would lock up when the players did that too obviously, both to keep the machine from damage and, since those were generally arcade machines, so the players would buy another round.
Im even older
Oh yeah?
Oh shit that’s bringing back some memories, what was that one again?
Hover, shipped on the Windows 95 CD.
Not bad really, especially for its time.
The Windows 95 CD also had the music video for Weezer's Buddy Holly!
Yes indeed! They also had the Good Times video.
Shame on Micro$oft, they didn't even give proper credit where credit is due...
Edie Brickell - Good Times
Finally... The search is over. I have wanted to find this song and video for years. I only remembered the feeling of it but not the lyrics or musician and I just knew it came with our first PC ever, but had no clue as to why or where it came from. I was obsessed with the song, mostly due to the singer's voice.
Thank you for bringing this up, you have made a random internet stranger very happy today.
You're very welcome.
I totally get your feeling there, I had to jump down that rabbit hole years ago with only two main tidbits of information, GOODTIME.AVI and Geffen Records.
Seriously, shame on M$ for not dropping proper credits to Edie Brickell, she's a wonderful singer!
Back when the ECA logo didn't make me immediately think "soulless money grab".
I think it was always EA, but I see how you could think the logo represented 3 letters. But yeah, back when that logo existed EA was a great company.
Ya, my young self assumed that the logo was ECA stylized into the square, circle and triangle and it was for "EleCtronic Arts". I was more interested in playing the games (soooo many hours spent on Starflight) than learning about the company.

Holy shit, I forgot about this bad boy
You know I keep that mfin thang on me

I was already kinda old when I played my first pinball game on computer, it was Epic Pinball.
I was a big fan of the Atari 2600 pinball game called Midnight Magic. I guess that makes me an ancient.
I still want to play this
I remember playing this on Windows 2000.
So, you’re a millenial..
"Young" millennial I guess
I'm millennial (1987) and I wouldn't pick this game to show my age, maybe jezzbal or skifree
You want to know something fun? The windows version of this game was not complete. There were more tables and I found out not long ago. The real game was called Full tilt! And if you search on youtube, you can see all the other tables.
Yeah, that was the demo that Stafford, Gliner and Sandige pitched to Microsoft in an intentionally fuzzy fax and slammed out in record time.
Wasn't this on 98? I don't recall the xp theme going with this.
I still remember the one game where I managed a score in the millions. Good times.
