The
Pugilist Favorite... TITLE FIGHT!
1990 Gottlieb
Very rare game with only 1,000 units
produced!
A rare and collectable Gottlieb... TITLE FIGHT!
This game was produced in 1990 by the Gottlieb company, who is known to
have made the best and most sought after pinball games of all time.
Title Fight is known as a "street-line" game. This was a
series of games made by Gottlieb in the early 90's that featured a slightly
smaller cabinet, simplified playfield layout with no ramps and an easier to
understand ruleset. There were very few of these games produced as it
was more or less a test run to see if the operators would be more inclined to
purchase a slightly smaller and less expensive game. There were only
1,000 Title Fight games produced, which is an extremely low number.
Although the games were somewhat simpler in design than the other games of the
same era, they were some of the best playing Gottlieb electronic games ever
produced! Unfortunately, Gottlieb didn't realize this until they had
already stopped making the games. The boxing theme is extremely well
integrated into this game and it features a mode where you actually get to use
the flipper buttons to make the pugilists slug it out in the animated backbox.
This game really brings the sport of boxing to life!
Come out swinging! The announcer shouts it as you press the start
button. You'll love the lively music and boxing color commentary in the
voice and style of Howard Cosell as you bash the ball around this classic
playfield. Hit the targets and loop shots and work your way through the
lower ranked contenders up to the TITLE FIGHT to become the new world
champion! Sounds easy, but brother it ain't! This game features a
separate upper area of the playfield shaped like a boxing ring with it's own
set of mini-flippers and drop targets. Climb into the ring and watch the
game lights dim and the ring light up and hear the REAL BOXING BELL ding
inside the cabinet! Now it's you versus the drop targets in a timed
battle of wits. Complete the targets within the alloted time and get the
lit award and move on to the next level. Lose the ball in the ring and
get ready to use the flipper buttons to beat your opponent to the punch as the
animated boxers in the backglass swing their fists at each other! This
machine has classic single-level gameplay with great features like
drop-targets, standing targets, double captive balls, fast loop shots, kickout
holes, pop-bumper and slingshot action, and even a MULTI-BALL mode.
Another great feature of the game is a separate "punch-counter"
display in the backglass that keeps track of the landed blows for your match
for all 4 players. There's even a separate high score entry for the
player with the most punches! This game is a real workout and the
classic family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!
Title Fight games are a rare find and getting harder to come by every year as
the collectors find them and gobble up the supply. When you do find a
Title Fight, they are usually beaten to death because they were so popular in
the arcades. This game is quite the exception and is in beautiful
overall condition, especially after the multitude of hours that were put into
reconditioning it. The playfield on this game is in excellent condition
due to the original factory mylar clear covering that protected most of the
playfield. Brand new playfield posts, post caps, flipper bats, drop-targets,
decals and pop-bumper cap have been installed. Most of the playfield
artwork plastics have been replaced with new old stock pieces. The backglass
translight is in excellent condition. The cabinet has some minor blemishes
and touch-ups. The legs have been refinished and brand new playfield
glass has been installed. The game plays lightning fast just like
it did when it was new!
