Developed by Digital Illusions for 21st Century Entertainment.
DICE’s first game was built by five friends from the Amiga demo group The Silents in their spare time. What started out as a demo idea soon became a full-fledged pinball simulation published by 21st Century Entertainment with the Amiga as the primary platform. Pinball Dreams captivated gamers and quickly became a cult hit.

The storyline for KISS Pinball revolves around the band battling the Dark Lord and claiming the "Kissneth" as their own. Your objectives include getting past security to snag an autograph, lighting "PASS" to access backstage, collecting weapons, shooting a spinner to upgrade record sales, hitting the Statue of Liberty repeatedly to reveal the Destroyer Skull to start 3-ball, spelling "MAYHEM" to light video mode, collecting lost souls, discovering hidden power-ups, locking balls with Gene's tongue and much more. Your perspective is directly above each table. You can see approximately one-third of the playfield at a time with the screen scrolling to follow the course of the ball. Each table has the standard two-flipper layout, with the ability to nudge the table up, left, and right to influence ball movement. But be careful not to "tilt" the machine!
Digital Pinball: Necronomicon is a pinball video game created for the Sega Saturn by KaZe in 1996. Only released in Japan, this high-resolution 2D game draws much of its graphical and audio inspiration from the metafictional Necronomicon.

After the success of Pinball Dreams on several systems, a sequel featuring four new tables was created. The gameplay is much the same as the first game, with realistic physics, multi-player options and a high score table to aim for. The tables are Partyland, Speed Devils, Billion Dollar Gameshow and Stones 'n' Bones, taking in a funfair, racing cars, a tacky game-show, and a graveyard. Each one has a range of ramps, combos, light sequences and targets to shoot, as well as general themes which are less influenced by real tables than those in Pinball Dreams.
