Not DOS, but Windows. A Full Tilt Pinball table, Space Cadet, has come preinstalled on every Windows machine from 95/98 to XP, if I remember. Its very space themed, with a black, blue and purple color scheme.

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. :))

Hmm. 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. =)

Pinball Construction Kit (apparently also called Pinball Builder, and quite distinct from Pinball Construction Set) had a couple of space-themed dark-blue tables. The idea was to build them yourself but there were pre-made examples of all the table templates.

It doesn't seem so from the screenshots I found.

Not even my mom knows the name either :(

Pinball fantaisies, pinball dreams or pinball illusions. Played the fantaisies one in Dos. Featured 4 table, carnival, speed racing, money and graveyard Hope it can help.

This sounds familiar. Was one of the tables labelled 'Enigma', with a red background and smoky graphics and effects?

Sorry for the long wait. Anyway, I really can't remember. Could be. My memories are too vague. Thanks for all the help though.

It's not Pinball Fantasies, Dreams or Illusions though.
