I guess I could be a writer for PC Gamer since I already watch Dave's youtube videos.

PSA: Space Cadet Pinball has been reverse engineered and you can now run it on most popular platforms and even consoles. (flatpak version)

    Has anyone re-released the other pinball machines?

    Edit: Memory is fleeting, I am actually liking for Enigma from This game

    Well I don't watch it, I don't watch anyone's, as they take 4-10 times longer to explain something than I can read it. I would've never learned this otherwise, so I'm glad he wrote it up, and linked to his source:

    Speaking on his YouTube channel (emphasis mine).

    I mean really, what more can you ask for than clearly giving credit?

    You're absolutely right. My problem with some websites due to the aggressive adblocking I do is bricking some sites like pcgamer, probably why I was miffed, and as a result I couldn't see PC Gamer giving him credit in the article. It wasn't until I switched to reader mode I could see it.
