I extensively researched this; there are infact=C2=A0copie= s of Pinball for 64-bit platforms:=C2=A0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D3EPTfO= TC4Jw&t=3D47s

Pinball had problems relating to 64-bit FPU pr= ecision (and this can actually be reproduced by fiddling with FPU flags), b= ut it did ship in Windows XP x64 Professional.
