I miss the old Pinball 3D Space Cadet days

I was pleasantly surprised to realise faithful recreations of the old solitaire and Space Cadet pinball games are available on Linux! I have them both on my Steam Deck!

... and as a father, that makes this meme a bit of a reality for me 😂

Haha yep I have space cadet pinball onmy steamdeck too. Awesome game . Brings back memories

aparently the pinball game was a demo version of Full Tilt! Pinball , which you can get on abandonware sites.

not sure if it still works on modern windows tho.

Today's Windows solitaire has adds. I mean wtf, this is a built in game and it has levels and adds up to 30 seconds! I don't use windows privately, only at work I'm forced to, so I don't know when exactly that happened

My dad latched onto FreeCell and never stopped playing.

Hahaha same. He's 75+ now but still is going strong. On win11 it's a bit of a pain to create a desktop shortcut for it though so now once in a while I have to remake it for him :')
