Quoted from E_liffers:You are 1000% right. Gottlieb thought that solid state technology was a fad and it would fade away. How wrong could they have been. Wouldn’t you have loved to been in that meeting when either Alvin Gottlieb told everybody to calm down, don’t worry, or everybody convincing Alvin it was a fad don’t worry. They got dragged kicking and screaming into this “new” technology, and sadly never caught up. They had their chances. Even in later years I remember a lot more Black Knights and Firepower’s than I do with Royal Flush Deluxe and Rack em up
When Gottlieb started rereleasing 10-15 year old EM designs like they did with Jacks to Open and City of Gold, that’s when they were officially done in my mind.
