'''Full Tilt! Pinball''' is a [[pinball]] video game developed by Cinematronics and published by Maxis in 1995. It has pre-rendered 3D graphics. There are three tables: Space Cadet, Skulduggery, and Dragon's Keep. Space Cadet would later become part of [[Microsoft Windows]] until [[Windows XP]]. On each table, there are displays on the right showing the players' score, the number of balls, the player's number, a display for various information and a table-specific image. In 1996, its sequel, Full Tilt! Pinball 2, was released. It contained three tables that were not in the original game: Mad Scientist, Alien Daze and Captain Hero.

==What Happened to it?==
This product is not longer included with [[Microsoft]] [[Windows]] [[operating system]]s due to problems in converting the program to 64-bit. When adapted, the hit detection did not work properly, and although some effort was made, it could not be fixed. Microsoft developer Raymond Chen reported that the code was largely uncommitted, and no one really understood it, so they couldn't solve the hit detection problem. He further commented that, "Heck, we couldn’t even find the collision detector!"
For this reason, it was dropped from [[Windows Vista]], and has not been included with newer systems presumably for the same reason. This game is somewhat outdated anyway.<ref>https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20121218-00/?p=5803</ref>

This somewhat lesser-known board uses the theme of slaying the dragon. Various missions are given which supposedly work towards this goal, and "items" may be acquired , which either grant the player extra points (weapons), or open various avenues and areas for the ball to enter or pass through (spells and armor).
