see you space cadet

I just remember you could hit ctl or alt and it would jiggle the screen. If you did it too much, it would void the game due to tilt.

It basically simulated the real world pinball machines that you could smack or jostle a little too when the ball got stuck or was about to roll straight down the middle. They would lock up when the players did that too obviously, both to keep the machine from damage and, since those were generally arcade machines, so the players would buy another round.
Simulating tilting the table.

Im even older

Oh yeah?
Oh shit. This brought back some memories. I used to play this game in kindergarten at around age 4-5!
Oh shit that’s bringing back some memories, what was that one again?
- Hover, shipped on the Windows 95 CD.
  Not bad really, especially for its time.

You know I keep that mfin thang on me

Hell yeah
- Now I'm up late, thanks guys

You want to know something fun? The windows version of this game was not complete. There were more tables and I found out not long ago. The real game was called Full tilt! And if you search on youtube, you can see all the other tables.

Yeah, that was the demo that Stafford, Gliner and Sandige pitched to Microsoft in an intentionally fuzzy fax and slammed out in record time.

Back when the ECA logo didn't make me immediately think "soulless money grab".
- I think it was always EA, but I see how you could think the logo represented 3 letters. But yeah, back when that logo existed EA was a great company.
- Archon !!!
Holy shit, I forgot about this bad boy
