![]() Well, apparently, it was part of another game but I can't tell what was the other two pinball games because I don't own it, remember, Space Cadet was already installed on my computer. It's more frustrating when it's the last mission before a promotion.Īnyway, 3D Space Cadet is a good pinball game, giving good feelings, with sober graphics and with varied missions, so, if you're lucky enough to find it, try it and you'll be very pleased. It's frustrating when you have only one step ahead to do and finish what you're doing. If you run out of it, you loose the mission you're currently trying to finish or you can't enable one. So, when losing a good play, you're disappointed with yourself and the next play, well, you're not concentrated and don't do the right things.įinally, the third negative point is the fuel thing. I mean, high scores are the real goal in a pinball game. The second negative point was already explained in the good part: it's the training with the four players mode. And then, well, I discovered the pinball again. I knew that I played this game but I didn't remember from where. If I didn't read an user review on another gaming website, I wouldn't have understood the game. ![]() Anyway, I didn't read the help, I just wanted to play. I explain: the first time I've played it, I didn't really understand the concept of going through the ranks by executing the missions and what I needed to do. The first negative point is that, even being translated, the game wasn't intuitive. You're still in the deception of having lost and your mind isn't set on the next play. But be aware that when you're having a good play and loses the ball, the next ball of the next player will seem not so good. So with 3 balls for each player and if you're alone, you can set the 4 players mode in order to train you. So, 3D Space Cadet is much easier than Loony.Īnother thing is that you can play with your friends. You have the feeling that it's hard to activate your flipper. I've played Loony Labyrinth and it was slow. As for the speed of the ball, it's normal and the reactivity of your flippers to the ball is good. The soundtrack is nice but if you don't like it, you can shut it in the options. The graphics are really simple but it's sufficient for playing it. You also have the Worm's Nest which can give you extra balls. If you're going out of fuel, missions are locked: you can't or activate one or finish one (this one making you loose all the things done). You also have to be careful to the fuel reserve. But keep in mind that when you advance, missions get harder.Īnyway, you also have shields that prevent you to lose a ball when it's going on the side and you can restore them thanks to buttons in the upper half of the pinball. You have three missions to do if you want a promotion but you can have four different ways to arrive to that and you can do the same mission three times in a row if you want it. My best rank is Ensign but as I don't use the nudge because I'm fast to reach the "TILT", I think that it can be considered as a good score. In fact, you have arrows to guide you: an arrow next to the bottom left buttons for choosing a mission, an arrow at the entrance of the ramp for accepting the mission, etc. I mean, I needed an user review for finally understanding how to rise through the ranks.ģD Space Cadet puts you in the shoes of a space Cadet who will rise through the ranks thanks to the executed missions. The first good thing about the game is that it brings pleasure when you understand the concept. Anyway, I've already played pinball games: Android from Epic Pinball, Loony Labyrinth and Crystal Caliburn from Little Wings. This PC preforms fine otherwise so I don't know what the issue could be.3D Space Cadet is a pinball game already installed on my computer when I bought it. I'm pretty sure it's not the GPU having issues because the issue exists on both the old and new SiS driver, as well as the GeForce MX440 I put in temporarily(mentioned in the previous thread about this PC). I already checked and it's not maxing out the CPU or RAM(a 2ghz P4 and 512mb RAM should be plenty for this game). It also lags the Windows cursor really badly half the time. You'd have to see the video to understand what I mean. ![]() Another issue is that the paddles have massive input lag when the ball is heading toward them. ![]() One example would be holding down space to launch the ball, but it doesn't release for many seconds after releasing the space key. The issue I'm having is very inconsistent input lag. Specifically the pre-installed Windows XP pinball. I asked about a different issue with it in this thread, but we're hear to discuss Pinball issues. So I had fully restored an old Sony VAIO PCV-RX755 desktop tower to factory condition, both hardware and software wise.
