The 1965 machine Gottlieb's Kings & Queens is the one played by the title character in the 1975 rock opera movie Tommy about a psychosomatically blind, deaf, and mute pinball wizard. Gottlieb's most popular pinball machine was Baffle Ball (released mid-1931), and their final machine was Barb Wire (early 1996). Premier Technology, which returned to selling pinball machines under the name Gottlieb after the purchase, continued in operation until the summer of 1996. Premier did go on to produce one last arcade game, 1989's Exterminator.

As a result of this a number of prototype Mylstar arcade games, which were not purchased by the investors, were never released. Pollock, purchased Mylstar's pinball assets in October 1984 and continued the manufacture of pinball machines under a new company, Premier Technology. By 1984 the video game industry in North America was in the middle of a shakeout and Columbia closed down Mylstar at the end of September 1984. In 1983, after the Coca-Cola Company had acquired Columbia, Gottlieb was renamed Mylstar Electronics, but this proved to be short-lived. Gottlieb released Q*bert in 1982, which would become immensely successful and is an icon of the golden age of arcade games. Gottlieb was bought by Columbia Pictures in 1976. (1979) and the last single player machine was Asteroid Annie and The Aliens (1980). By that time, multiple player machines were more the mode and wedgeheads were no longer being produced. The first few of these were remakes of electromechanical machines such as Joker Poker and Charlie's Angels. The company made the move into solid state machines starting in the late 1970s. 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. Score reels eventually appeared on single-player games, now known as ' wedgeheads' because of their distinctive tapered back box shape.

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. By this time, the games also became noted for their artwork by Roy Parker. Flippers first appeared on a Gottlieb game called Humpty Dumpty, designed by Harry Mabs. 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. Electromechanical machines were produced starting in 1935. Like other manufacturers, Gottlieb first made mechanical pinball machines, including the first successful coin-operated pinball machine Baffle Ball in 1931. It later expanded into various other games, including pitch-and-bats, bowling games, and eventually video arcade games (notably Reactor, Q*bert and M*A*C*H*3.) The company was established by David Gottlieb in 1927, and initially produced only pinball machines.

A subassembly plant was also built in Fargo, ND. Kostner Avenue until the early 1970s, when a new modern plant and office were opened at 165 W. Gottlieb's main office and plant was at 1140-50 N. It is best known for creating a vast line of pinball machines and arcade games (including Q*bert) throughout much of the 20th century. Gottlieb & Co.) was an American arcade game corporation based in Chicago, Illinois.
