Gottlieb & Co.)<br>[[Chicago]], [[Illinois]], U.S. | founder = David Gottlieb | defunct = {{End date|1996}} }} '''Gottlieb''' (formerly '''D. Gottlieb & Co.''') was an American [[arcade game]] [[corporation]] based in [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]]. It is best known for creating a vast line of pinball machines and arcade games (including ''[[Q*bert]]'') throughout much of the 20th century. ==History== Gottlieb's main office and plant was at 1140-50 N. Kostner Avenue until the early 1970s, when a new modern plant and office were opened at 165 W. Lake Street in [[Northlake, IL]]. A subassembly plant was also built in Fargo, ND.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-nov-01-tt-64157-story.html LAtimes.com]</ref> The company was established by David Gottlieb in 1927, and initially produced only [[pinball]] machines. It later expanded into various other games, including pitch-and-bats, bowling games, and eventually video arcade games (notably ''[[Reactor (video game)|Reactor]]'', ''[[Q*bert]]'' and ''M*A*C*H*3''.){{citation needed|date=July 2016}} Like other manufacturers, Gottlieb first made [[machine|mechanical]] pinball machines, including the first successful coin-operated pinball machine ''[[Baffle Ball]]'' in 1931.<ref name="ElectronicGames-Jan85" /> [[Electromechanical]] machines were produced starting in 1935. The 1947 development of player-actuated, [[solenoid]]-driven 2-inch bats called "flippers" revolutionized the industry, giving players the ability to shoot the ball back up into the playfield for more points. Flippers first appeared on a Gottlieb game called ''Humpty Dumpty'', designed by Harry Mabs. By this time, the games also became noted for their artwork by Roy Parker. In the late 1950s, Gottlieb made more widespread use of numerical score reels, making multiple player games more practical than the traditional scoring expressed by cluttered series of lights in the back box. Score reels eventually appeared on single-player games, now known as "[[Glossary of pinball terms#W|wedgehead]]s" because of their distinctive tapered back box shape. By the 1970s, artwork on Gottlieb games was almost always by Gordon Morison, and the company had begun designing their games with longer 3-inch flippers, now the industry standard. The company made the move into [[solid state (electronics)|solid state]] machines starting in the late 1970s. The first few of these were remakes of electromechanical machines such as ''Joker Poker'' and ''Charlie's Angels''. By that time, multiple player machines were more the mode and wedgeheads were no longer being produced. The last wedgehead was ''T.K.O.'' (1979) and the last single player machine was ''Asteroid Annie and The Aliens'' (1980).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?searchtype=advanced&mfgid=94|title = The Internet Pinball Machine Database}}</ref> Gottlieb was bought by [[Columbia Pictures]] in 1976.<ref name="ElectronicGames-Oct83">{{cite journal| journal = [[Electronic Games]]| pages = 12| title = Gottlieb changes company name|date=October 1983}}</ref> Gottlieb released ''[[Q*bert]]'' in 1982, which would become immensely successful and is an icon of the [[Golden age of arcade video games|golden age of arcade games]]. In 1983, the year after [[the Coca-Cola Company]] had acquired Columbia, Gottlieb was renamed '''Mylstar Electronics''',<ref name="ElectronicGames-Oct83"/> but this proved to be short-lived. By 1984 the video game industry in North America was in the middle of a [[Video game crash of 1983|shakeout]] and Columbia closed down Mylstar at the end of September 1984.<ref name="ElectronicGames-Jan85">{{cite journal| journal = [[Electronic Games]]| pages = 14| title = Goodbye Q*Bert--Mylstar ceases operation|date=January 1985}}</ref> A management group, led by Gilbert G. Pollock, purchased Mylstar's pinball assets in October 1984 and continued the manufacture of pinball machines under a new company, '''Premier Technology'''. As a result of this a number of prototype Mylstar arcade games, which were not purchased by the investors, were never released. Premier did go on to produce one last arcade game, 1989's ''Exterminator''. Premier Technology, which returned to selling pinball machines under the name Gottlieb after the purchase, continued in operation until the summer of 1996. Gottlieb's most popular pinball machine was ''[[Baffle Ball]]'' (released mid-1931), and their final machine was ''[[Barb Wire (pinball)|Barb Wire]]'' (early 1996). ==Licensing and rights== The 1965 machine Gottlieb's Kings & Queens is the one played by the title character in the 1975 [[rock opera]] movie [[Tommy_(1975_film)|''Tommy'']] about a [[psychosomatic]]ally blind, deaf, and mute pinball wizard.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/kings-amp-queens|title = Kings & Queens Pinball Machine (Gottlieb, 1965) | Pinside Game Archive}}</ref> Today, Gottlieb's pinball machines (along with those distributed under the Mylstar and Premier names), as well as the "Gottlieb" and "D. Gottlieb & Co." trademarks ([[USPTO]] registration nos. 1403592, 2292766, and 3288024, and other numbers in countries around the world), are owned by '''Gottlieb Development LLC''' of [[Pelham Manor, New York]].

Two prototype machines supposedly exist, although some claim the design never proceeded past the whitewood stage. Playfield components, such as plastics, ramps, mechanisms and [[Translight|Translites]] were produced for the games about to enter production; enough for about 10 games to exist. Only buggy prototype software exists and was never completed. Gottlieb was last to introduce a solid-state system, and last to cease manufacture of electromechanical games. The first version of Gottlieb's [[solid state (electronics)|solid state]] [[pinball]] hardware was called ''System 1'', and had many undocumented features. Designed and developed by Rockwell International's Microelectronics Group of Newport Beach, CA with circuit board manufacturing and final assembly in El Paso, Texas. Likely it was rushed to compete with the new solid-state games from other manufacturers, particularly [[Bally Manufacturing|Bally]]. {{Citation needed|date=February 2009}} An entirely new platform was produced in 1980, ''System 80'', which was refined in ''System 80A'' and ''System 80B''. Following the System 80 platform, a new platform named ''System 3'' was first released in 1989 and was used until the company's closure. ==See also== * [[Ed Krynski]] ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *[http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?mfgid=93&sortby=date&searchtype=advanced Internet Pinball Database showing complete listing of Gottlieb pinball games] *[https://web.archive.org/web/20091027170735/http://geocities.com/system80pins/ Stork's Nest Pins: A guide about Gottlieb's System 80 pinballs] *[http://mycollection.co.nz/pinball Freddy Nightmare on Elm Street Pinball resource site] *[http://gottliebpin.com Gottlieb Development LLC] {{Ed Krynski|state=collapsed}} {{Microsoft Pinball Arcade}} {{Authority control}}{{Columbia Pictures}} [[Category:Gottlieb| ]] [[Category:Columbia Pictures]] [[Category:Defunct video game companies of the United States]] [[Category:Manufacturing companies based in Chicago]] [[Category:Pinball manufacturers]] [[Category:1927 establishments in Illinois]] [[Category:American companies established in 1927]] [[Category:Manufacturing companies established in 1927]] [[Category:Sony Pictures Entertainment]]
