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.

We have coming up a Silent Scope 2 arcade machine (unknown condition) but right now we do have a bit of an oddball classic in the form of an original 1955 Bally 'Miami Beach' bingo pinball machine. We have during the course of the last few months acquired a couple of additions we normally wouldn't and although we'd love to be collectors, our business is in custom-built machines and so we'd prefer to let originals go to collectors and gamers who really want them.
