`25.Jul.2025`	Spillhistorie: Interview with Fredrik Liljegren zu Pinball Dreams (englisch) The Norwegian games magazine Spillhistorie has published an interesting interview with Fredrik Liljegren, in which the co-founder of Digital Illusions (later DICE) talks in detail about the development of the Amiga classic Pinball Dreams. Liljegren takes a close look at the game's beginnings, from its origins in the demo scene to the technical concept and the selection of a publisher. He describes how the team was able to faithfully simulate real pinball tables using an unusual design—vertically scrolling playing fields across multiple screens. The result: realistic ball physics, impressive graphics and sound design, and unexpected success with over 650,000 units sold in the first year. The game was developed entirely in the developers' spare time, which explains the long development time of over four years. He also talks about early strategies against piracy, such as special crack detectors that introduced variable ball physics or score influences for copied versions. The interview does not only offer historical insights, but also personal memories and a behind-the-scenes perspective. (nba) [News message: 25.
