I remember just a couple years ago, when I was on a pinball kick, I did some research to see if anyone had made a real Space Cadet machine and was surprised to see no one had. I remember reading some claims that doing so would be virtually impossible because the mechanisms necessary to recreate the behavior of the game could not feasibly be arranged on the underside of the playfield.

I hope this person proves them wrong

tech press and the internet at large is standing at attention.

Oh man, I've thought about this many many times. I don't know shit about real pinball tables so I had no idea if it were actually possible, but I leaned more towards probably not. The physics didn't seem recreateable. I even thought about how I'd probably put a small vacuum pump for the gravity hole in the center!
I hope they succeed and I hope it feels as authentic as possible.

Heck yeah it counts as retro. I imagine we all have happy memories of that little game.

This is awesome.

This hit me right in the nostalgia.

I forgot all about MS pinball - IIRC it was pretty fun. Making it a real thing would be a blast!

3d? What about it was 3d?

It was okay I guess. Not really all that great, but I don't recall a 3d aspect.

I play it on my phone. I would love to have a physical table of it.

A Remake.

That’s awesome

Does count and this is amazing

Pinball is the most retro game I know of that isn't a sport. It's also way more impressive than a video game, to me. It takes a lot of work not just to build the table, but to balance it so it isn't boring to play like a lot of the earliest pinball machines.

Yes, in my opinion anyways, it counts.

The original game itself apparently was a demo for another full set from "Full Tilt Pinball", or something like that anyways.

I'm all for it, like how often do you get a videogame turned into real life hardware?

Retro comes to life? Still retro...
