A hobbyist is rebuilding Microsoft’s 3D Pinball: Space Cadet as a real machine, crafting a physical playfield with working bumpers, ramps, and lighting.

Oh man, I’ve thought about this many many times. I don’t know shit about real pinball tables so I had no idea if it were actually possible, but I leaned more towards probably not. The physics didn’t seem recreateable. I even thought about how I’d probably put a small vacuum pump for the gravity hole in the center!
I hope they succeed and I hope it feels as authentic as possible.
I’d go with magnet for the gravity hole.
