GottliebGottlieb was an arcade game corporation, which was established by David Gottlieb in the 1930s and first produced pinball games; it later began developing video games (for both the arcade and Atari). Gottlieb's most popular pinball table was Baffle Ball (Mid-1931), and their last released table was Barb Wire (Early 1996) Gottlieb first made mechanical pinball games, then electromechanical starting in 1935, and solid-state tables starting in the late 1970s. Gottlieb was bought by Columbia Pictures in 1977, and in 1983, a management coup turned them into Mylstar Electronics (a joke was that Mylstar was rat slime spelled backwards), and another coup in 1984 turned them into Premier Technology, which went bankrupt in 1996. Gottlieb Video Games Gottlieb Pinball Tables The first version of Gottlieb's solid-state pinball hardware was called System 1, and was very unreliable, with many design flaws. Likely it was rushed to compete with Bally's proven hardware, of which the first table using it was made 2 years earlier. The second revision, which was first made in 1980, was called System 80. Further revisions were System 80A and System 80B. The final revision was System 3, first made in 1988.
