Wow, what a cool find! I am glad it wound up with someone who is willing to post info about the game. I am looking forward to seeing what Jon Norris can recall about the machine.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:It looks as if each side of the playfield can be lifted independently. Is there truth to that?
Sure looks like two independent playfields from the photos.
Quoted from Gott_Lieb:From my interviews page, per Jon when I interviewed him many moons ago - "One on One (1996) novelty game - sample run of 5 games only, 2 were dismantled, leaving 3 known to exist. "
Cool find! I'm still looking for the elusive System 3 Bad Girls game. 10 were made, so there has to be one sitting out there, unless Katrina wiped them all out.

Where can I find this interview?
Quoted from pinballguru:Kind of a sad day because we know that Gottlieb was not going to be reopened any time soon.
I am a fan of the Gottliebs from this era owning a Waterworld and Cue Ball Wizard (with an eye out for a Bad Girls) and it is sad to know you guys were hoping for an investor to pull through and save the company. Is it true that it was Gottliebs investment in Keno machines or something of the sort that led to the financial downfall?
Quoted from luvthatapex2:According to the wiki:
" Premier Technology, which returned to selling pinball machines under the name Gottlieb after the purchase, continued in operation until the summer of 1996, when the declining demand for pinball machines forced the company to cease business. Premier did not file for bankruptcy, but sold off all its assets for the benefit of its creditors."
I was listening to a podcast and they had a guest who was familiar with the situation at Gottlieb at the time (for the life of me I cannot remember who it was or what podcast, sorry) and the guest mentioned a heavy investment in some sort of Keno venture that was never took off due to the tight grip on the industry by the manufacturers. I had never heard that before and would like to see if a second source had any info on it.
Quoted from pinballguru:Yes, but inaccurate regarding pinball sales being the issue: It was pinball keeping the company alive until the end.
God, that makes it even more heartbreaking! Thanks for the additional information.
Created a topic for general Q&A's for Jon https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-jon-norris-gottlieb-designer-qampa-thread so we don't take this thread off topic and can focus on the awesomeness of this discovery.
Quoted from N80G80:I’m getting a better camera and having a friend with some video experience help me to get up a decent video and better photos.
Awesome, thanks for taking the time to do that for everyone!
