It also sports a splash screen that merely says 3D Pinball and shows a small pinball graphic. This means that there are restrictions on what can be done with the program, as spelled out by the license agreement. Space Cadet Pinball was not originally written by Microsoft, but was rather obtained via licensing from a company then-known as Cinematronics. Since the unfortunate demise of Space Cadet Pinball, there have been occasional efforts to resurrect the popular game.
