Little Joe

Little Joe was designed by D. Gottlieb & Company in February 1950 as machine model #33, but records indicate it was never produced. It exists today only as a documented design from Gottlieb's prolific early-1950s development slate.

Because it never reached production, no confirmed details survive about its specific gameplay features, theme, or artwork. Like other single-player Gottlieb electro-mechanical machines from this period, it would have used a standard configuration of relays, flippers, bumpers, and scoring mechanisms.

Little Joe is primarily of interest to collectors and historians as an example of a Gottlieb model that was planned during the company's formative years but never made it past the design stage.
