The supposed Mythology Gag is actually Development Gag, which is Trivia.

A tweaked version of "Space Cadet" ([-Official title: ''3D Pinball for Windows – Space Cadet''-]) was included with consumer copies of UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows, starting with the Windows 95 Plus! pack, in August 1995, up to Windows XP. Some differences: Windows's version only supports 640×480-pixel resolution (Cinematronics's supports three different resolutions up to 1024×768 pixels); the image on the side is a two-dimensional image as opposed to pre-rendered 3D; the words Maxis and Cinematronics have been changed from the yellow to a dark red, making them harder to see; it sports a splash screen that merely says 3D Pinball and shows a small pinball graphic with faded edges; music is not enabled by default in 3D Pinball; it has only one soundtrack when compared to ''Full Tilt!''. Furthermore, there are changes to the rules, including no access to the Meteor Storm multiball mode. The practice ended with the release of Windows Vista when [[http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2012/12/18/10378851.aspx the 32-bit game could not be ported over to Vista's 64-bit architecture.]]

* DifficultButAwesome: The medal targets in "Space Cadet". They are very tricky to hit consistently, but if you learn how to do so, you can [[Infinite1Ups pile on lots of extra balls]], which can lead to a very high scoring (but long) game.
