That&#8217;s why we chose Future Pinball as our simulation software. Christopher Leathley released Future Pinball 1.0 in 2005.<br \/>\nIn the following years, the project received support from many people. Our special thanks go to Terry Red, whose detailed instructions and assistance made the launch of our own table possible.<br \/>\nAt the top of the list is Rene Galounis, who created version 1.0 of the BOC Defender table from scratch in just a few months.<br \/>\nSupported by BOC designer Nina Wiegand, the two of them achieved something that seemed almost impossible.<\/p>\n<h5>Our pinball machine at the trade fair<\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30382 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper1-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper1-800x640.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30383 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wordpress.boc.de\/watchguard-info-portal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/flipper2-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#x1f1e9;&#x1f1ea; DE | &#x1f1ec;&#x1f1e7; EN Tagt\u00e4glich arbeiten wir daran, IT-Umgebungen zu h\u00e4rten und unsere Kunden vor den aktuellsten Bedrohungen zu sch\u00fctzen.
