Gottlieb Part 2

TCW Podcast Episode 150 - Gottlieb Part 2   In part two we look at the further development of Gottlieb as a coin-op company, and how they established themselves during the 50s through the 70's.  Eventually acquired by Columbia Pictures. Gottlieb would start making small steps into the video game space.  Though many inside the company still viewed themselves as a pinball company, the shrinking pinball market necessitated a change.  When Columbia was purchased by Coca-Cola the shift into video games was made more of a priority.  One of the notable hits of this time was the game Q*bert.  A character that would even get a short run cartoon.  Unfortunately with other failures in the video game space, and the collapse of the industry as a whole Gottlieb ceased to be in the mid 80's.   How bowling Pinsetters work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iod6uwUGM2E Shuffleboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpNTY-0fhps Shuffle Alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfHe6HKFrY8 Gittlieb Duette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmBYrGOYx3M Flipper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn-AMpfQ-xE Spirit of 76: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkTJweVDOR8 Royal Flush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU4XEwO0-jI Close Encounters of the Third Kind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW-mC01af_8 Charlie's Angels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jtamJzTPPU Amazing Spiderman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM02icGtUBI No Man's Land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roDcKaYrid4 New York New York: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xbiQ3Zc4b0 Black Hole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mif-oaCwN0 Caveman Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPm0pmmBp0Y Caveman Cabinet & Electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A_F00nqi5w Reactor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QKuINAQyQI Q*bert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKIbhaQfs-A M.C.
