| | If you miss Pinball... Some may not be aware of this but the 3D Space Cadet pinball game in Plus! 98, Windows NT, 2000 and XP was really just a stripped down version of a full game made by Maxis. It is called "Full Tilt! Pinball" and contains Space Cadet (a much better looking version) as well as two other tables. I bought my copy on eBay last year to use in XP, but it works fine in Vista also. :-) If you can't find Full Tilt though you can just copy the XP version into Vista, it works too. |

| | Re: If you miss Pinball... I don't know, possibly a licensing issue since it belongs to Maxis. Maybe they didn't want to renew it, or more likely they thought it just looked too outdated for Vista compared to the other new games.

| | Re: If you miss Pinball... More like licensing issues than anything. See they worked with Oberon Games to rework their games. Pinball is Maxis MS can't just ask Oberon games to rework someone else's work (or it would be uneconomical to ask Maxis to redo their game) "Catweazle" <kr74@mail2usa.com> wrote in message news:eVCCj%2302GHA.1256@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I don't know, possibly a licensing issue since it belongs to Maxis.
