3D Pinball: Space Cadet debuted in Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 and became a staple in the operating system until Windows XP. Dave Plummer, the programmer who ported the game to the NT version, revealed that he accidentally introduced a bug that caused the game to run at 5,000 frames per second. Plummer reflected on this incident as a memorable example of how minor oversights in programming can lead to unexpected outcomes.
