If you hadn't been involved in pinball, any idea what you'd be doing today?
No idea. I was pretty lucky to land in game development and many times I have thought, “They are paying me to do this?”
Do you look forward to Expo and all those questions (a bit like these!), and how often do you have to plead the 5th to something posed from visitors?
My favorite part of Expo is giving the tour at the factory. Sadly I will not get to do that any more. I never minded all the fans and their questions. I actually like talking to outsiders because it really helps ground the design process in reality. Adds perspective and helps prioritize the real issues.
Other than pinball and writing, what makes Dwight Sullivan tick?
I am a family man first; I love my wife and kids and to do things with them. Beyond that I love games next. All types of games. One of my many hobbies is designing board games.
Finally, can you sum up pinball (or your time involved with it) in one word or sentence?
Pinball has been a large part of my life. I often measured time by what game I was working on when this happened or that.
Many thanks to Dwight Sullivan for taking the time to answer our questions. More Pinball Heroes coming soon.
