About this web edition

3D Pinball — Space Cadet

This is a browser deployment of alula’s WebAssembly port of Andrey Muzychenko’s reverse-engineered engine, not a new physics approximation.

The original table data, graphics, WAV effects, and MIDI compositions are used by the engine. Rules, scoring, missions, lights, bumpers, flippers, and tilt are implemented by the upstream engine.

Fidelity limits: this is a source port, not Windows XP emulation. Menus differ, MIDI uses TinySoundFont rather than Windows’ synthesizer, and browser timing, scaling, and audio latency vary. Exact 1:1 equivalence is not certified. High scores are saved locally in this browser when storage is available; active games are not saved.

Credits & rights: original game by Cinematronics / Maxis, distributed by Microsoft. Engine © 2020–2021 Andrey Muzychenko, MIT license. Original game assets retain their respective owners’ rights and are not covered by the engine’s MIT license. This is an unofficial port, not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
