We played the hell out of it on our Windows 2000 machines during particularly boring IT labs in college, in early 2000s.

The physics just seemed so spot on. I installed Win2K on a VM recently, just for this.

Start Menu, type in "pinball". Ah....

Was it available on Windows 2000? I know it was a default on Windows XP. I was way too young back then to remember

Definitely. It was available (apparently) even with a Win95 upgrade pack, so it's very old.

I was not aware of it, however. I am not sure it was as easy to launch before, by just typing in "pinball" in the Start menu.
