3D Pinball: Space Cadet is one of the classic games found in early copies of Windows, first arriving in Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95, before being bundled into the operating system until Windows XP. However, Dave Plummer, who ported the game over from 95 to the NT version of Windows, admitted on his YouTube channel that he accidentally added a bug to the game that eventually led it to run at 5,000 FPS.
Plummer’s co-host read a message asking, “Did you ever have a programming ‘oops’ while working at Microsoft that made it into the wild — the approved software release?” Dave said that he probably had many, but one of his most memorable was when he ported 3D Pinball from Windows 95 to NT.
