History YMMV / FullTiltPinball

* MemeticMutation: No Internet? No problem! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many kids in the 2000s played this game to pass the time if their Internet went down. A frequently circulated image of the game captioned with this has gained some notereity for nostalgia points. Sometimes mistakenly adds "in the 90s" to that first sentence, which is a case of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer as explained in CommonKnowledge, plus the fact that dial-up Internet, the prominent form of connectivity in the 90s, was more of a special privilege to have access to and had time booked out for rather than something you expected to have uninterrupted access to[[/labelnote]]

* FirstInstallmentWins[=/=]AdaptationDisplacement: The ''Space Cadet'' table that was released before the ''Full Tilt'' version, though adapted from it. While ''Full Tilt'' had higher resolutions, extra musical scores during the missions, as well as a multiball mode called Meteor Storm (lock 3 balls in the correct opened Wormhole scoop), they were not present in Microsoft's version. However, the Microsoft version is most recognizable by many, despite the same playfield art used in between versions. ''Space Cadet'' was available for free on over 1 billion computers, so most players were content with it and didn't even realize there was something more.

* CommonKnowledge: A few people mistakenly assume the game was included with all versions of Windows starting with 95 and ending with XP. In actuality, it was first included with the Plus! for Windows 95 ''companion'' add-on (think sort of like an ExpansionPack but for an operating system), which most people didn't buy alone and would usually only have if their pre-built machine came with it. Furthermore, it wasn't included in Windows 98 or Me at ''all''. The only versions it was included in from the start were NT 4.0, 2000, and XP, the former two of which were targeted at businesses (though 2000 got a PeripheryDemographic of home users due to Me's ObviousBeta status). Most of its modern popularity comes from its inclusion with XP, evidenced by the MemeticMutation below.

All of these were removed in Microsoft's port, resulting in a slight change of rules that made Meteor Storm inaccessible.
