I forgot all about MS pinball - IIRC it was pretty fun. Making it a real thing would be a blast!

Someone decompiled it and there's now versions of it available on the play store and other places. It is a real blast from the past.

One of the first things I did, when I installed Linux Mint, was install a port of Space Cadet Pinball
