About This Machine

Barb Wire, released by Premier Technology (Gottlieb) in April 1996, holds a notable place in pinball history: it is the last game Gottlieb put into production before the company shut down while attempting to build its follow-up, 'Brooks & Dunn.' Designed by Bill Parker, with software by Jon Norris, only 1,000 units were confirmed produced.

As one of the final Gottlieb System 3 machines, Barb Wire represents the end of an era for one of pinball's oldest manufacturers. Specific details of its ruleset and artwork are not well documented, but as the company's last produced title, it holds particular significance for collectors and historians tracing Gottlieb's history.

For enthusiasts interested in the closing chapter of the original Gottlieb company, Barb Wire offers a rare and historically significant piece of pinball manufacturing history.
