Sure Shot

The Sure Shot, manufactured by Taito do Brasil in 1981, is a solid state electronic pinball machine built around a billiards theme. It reflects the era's competitive electronic pinball landscape, with Taito do Brasil among several manufacturers producing games in Brazil at the time.

Gameplay-wise, Sure Shot boasts an impressive array of features for its time, including three flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, a kick-out hole, and an assortment of drop targets. The machine's 7-bank drop target is particularly notable, offering players a challenging and rewarding experience as they aim to clear the target banks. Additionally, the presence of both a stand-alone drop target and 4-in-line drop targets adds variety to the gameplay.

The Sure Shot's design and theme are centered around the sport of billiards. Interestingly, some backglasses for this game bear the word 'PLAYTIME' in the lower left corner instead of the Taito logo, possibly linked to a chain of arcades called 'Taito Playtime,' though this is unconfirmed. Specific information about the designer or artist is not available, but the machine remains an interesting specimen for collectors due to its blend of electronic features and classic pinball mechanics.
