OXO

OXO was an electro-mechanical pinball machine likely produced by Gottlieb in the early 1970s, during a transformative period in pinball history. The game's title and theme appear to be inspired by the classic Tic-Tac-Toe game (also known as Noughts and Crosses), which was a popular concept during this era of arcade entertainment.

The early 1970s represented the twilight years of the electro-mechanical era in pinball, with manufacturers still producing games featuring mechanical score reels and relay-based logic systems. This period saw manufacturers experimenting with various ways to incorporate familiar games and concepts into pinball formats to attract players.

While specific details about OXO's gameplay features and production numbers are limited, machines from this era typically featured mechanical scoring, illuminated backglass artwork, and would have employed the standard complement of pop bumpers, drop targets, and various scoring lanes common to early 1970s pinball design. The game would have likely utilized the classic Gottlieb sound effects and chimes that were characteristic of their electro-mechanical machines.
