Big House
Gottlieb, 1989Just picked up a Big House that is noticeably different. Everything is different. Music, Callouts, Playfield/Cabinet Art, Inserts, Display locations.
Anyone else out there own one or have any information about this version?

What serial number does it have? I have several prototypes that don't actually have serial numbers, or they're hand written. Just curious if yours has one.
This is a cool prototype-
I owned a Big House for many years and only resently sold it. This is VERY different than the one I had.
The main goal on the production model was to break down the “wall” and build the multiplier. Then hit the top middle lane and score big. It looks like your has no “wall.”
How do you build the multiplier?
This is really interesting, especially since even just finding a regular production Big House is not easy.
Is there any way you could shoot a video of it in action? It'd be really interesting to see (and hear) this game.
Edit: Might also be a good idea to contact Jay at I_P_D_B with pictures. It doesn't look like this early production model is documented there.
I sent him all of the pictures. Looks like the option to add the photos isn’t there anymore. I’ll make a video a little later today.
Very nice find and a bit jealous! They used an Excalibur/RoboWar cabinet for that one. Try to make backups from the roms if possible. Steve Young is selling alternate slingshot plastics for Big House - the same as those in your Big House.
Quoted from Turtlepower169:Heading to Gatlinburg Pinball Museum for everyone to enjoy.
Played this tonight! Thank you! Really cool to play such a rare version.
