grrgyle,

Bittersweet memories… I’ll always associate this game with being down and out.

There was a jobs centre where I would go to search for jobs, print resumes, apply online, etc. Anyway, this was one of the games I played while in between interviews, or waiting for the men’s shelter to open.

This game along with Ricochet HD got me through the wringer without needing drugs or alcohol as a pillow, so I’m thankful they were there when I needed them.

Anyway that’s my needlessly wrought story of how lofi windows games saved me lol

Last time I tried this, on Android, it was miserable. Here’s hoping that version isn’t a mess and you can actually play it. Months and months of updates and work has surely made it less of a janky mess, right?

Edit: someone found a version on Google Play, but I was definitely talking about an open source version on GitHub. Wanted to make a distinction in case someone thought for whatever reason I was talking about some shitty nostalgia bait mobile port.

cyrus,

I’ve just installed it, and it runs just fine on my PC

As per the source code, that was probably from here given that is where the source code for this Linux port lives.

Get yourself an Ambernic RG353M, install ArkOS on it, use Postmaster to install Space Cadet pinball.

Congratulations, now you can play this whenever you want on a device that fits in your front pocket.

Checkout portmaster.games for a list of computer games you can have in your front pocket.

nathan,

This is fucking awesome. The handhelds that have came out in the last few years just blows my mind. Where was this shit when I was a kid!?

Do you recommend the rg353m? What do you think of the rg35xx h? They look almost the same

Count042,

The reason I recommend the m is the longevity. The quality is unreal. The case is metal, the joysticks are magnetic so no grapheme drift.

If it is going to live in a front pocket, it should be durable.

Kusimulkku,

Congratulations, now you can play this whenever you want on a device that fits in your front pocket.

Like on a phone?

Count042,

What about balatro, stardew valley, half-life?

This can do a lot more than phones. Take a look at port master.games

Kusimulkku,

Dunno about the others but TIL: reddit.com/…/how_to_play_halflife_on_your_android…

LeLachs,

There is even a web browser port: alula.github.io/SpaceCadetPinball/

Guest_User,

Does it still have “hidden test” working?

Mango,

Just found this on a whim!

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azurint…

Mango,

I’m mad now.

Persen,

There is an actual port on github: github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android

Mango,

Somehow I can just intuitively tell the physics is more alike the original here. It’s just something about the way the physics is a total asshole.

x4740N,

Is there a hdr version ?

Mango, (edited )

RTX!

Edit: look at my other comment btw.

Num10ck,

if you subscribe to Netflix you can download a free ios game called pinball masters that is rather good.

Kalothar,

Does anybody remember a similar mouse trap like game? Like something which pushing blocks and trapping a mouse maybe? Or perhaps you were the mouse and you were avoiding traps to get cheese?

runswithjedi,

That kind of sounds like Chip’s Challenge, but no mice involved. Lots of blocks and pushing, though.

Kalothar, (edited )

Unfortunately, I wasn’t alive quite then , so I’m thinking any time before or around windows 95 and up

emeralddawn45,

Chips challenge had a windows 95 version and it looked almost identical to the rodent game you said you remembered.

Psythik,

Regardless you should still play Chip’s Challenge.

Don’t tell me how to live my life

Psythik,

Your loss. That game defined my childhood.

Kalothar,

Okay I’m in, you’ve convinced me

otacon239,

This could be Incredible Machine maybe?

DBNinja,

Rodent’s Revenge?

Kalothar,

That’s it I have wondered about game forever

acetanilide,

Found a link. I’m on mobile so I can’t test it:

classicreload.com/win3x-rodents-revenge.html

criitz,

This is a classic. Thanks for reminding me about it.

Hoy shit man this just unlocked so many memories

fox2263,

Pour one out for Spy Mouse. It came out when the iPad launched and it was great. But EA never updated it and it left the store years ago.

Spy Mouse was a great game.

Might not be the one you were thinking though

I was told in a post there is an AUR package too.

Fargeol,

you can also find it on Flathub

runswithjedi, (edited )

This is awesome, so many memories flooding back.

Has anyone tried the Android APK?

rez_doggie,

Yes it runs okay but idk how to exit it lol
