Obsession is a 1-2 player game with low resolution and keyboard controls. It comes with four different types of tables: "Aquatic Adventure", "Balls 'n Bats", "Desert Run" and "X-ile Zone". Obsession was also inspired by other games such as Pinball Dreams by XXI Century Entertainment. However, by December 2, 1994 Obsession was complete and UDS had started to work on Absolute Pinball.

In a recent interview with Tord Jansson, one of the main programmers of the game stated that Atari Corporation gave the team an Atari Jaguar development kit which he and Ulrik Lindahl, another programmer at UDS spent time with it and created a conversion of the game with only three out of the four tables to the Jaguar in a few days except the music and sound effects, however, they decided not to support the system due to its low sales and sent back the development kit to Atari Corp.[1]
