When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Coincidentally enough, here's a pic of it the showed up on icanhascheezburger.com's Parenting Fails today...
Thanks, but well, I guess I'm quite sure that it's not what I'm looking for. I played that game in the Windows 3.1 days, and it was harder on Mohs' Scale of Science Fiction :) And it had no rendered 3D.
I remember the Flipper default controls were either left and right CTRL or Shift.
It had a few different levels/tables, it doesn't look like Space Cadet has them. (Not sure I want to keep playing Space Cadet to find out. :))
Edited by ZenmiesterHmm. You're in luck, I've come across an old Shareware CD-ROM I had when I was a kid, it was made in 1995 (previously mentioned Empire Demo Disc in another post). It has a couple of pinball games on it, I'll check through those. Or hey, I could share them and see if there's anything I think matches. =)

A pinball game on DOS, around 1994-1995, probably it was a few years old at that time. There were a few tables with a space-like setting, mostly in dark blue and black. The graphics were not cartoonish, and I think they were better than in Epic Pinball, but that could be just my memory (no pun intended).
