Titan

Titan is a solid-state electronic (SS) whitewood prototype designed by John Trudeau for D. Gottlieb & Company. It was never placed into production, and the playfield was later stripped and no longer exists. No theme is documented for the game.

The widebody machine featured a three-level playfield -- Trudeau's continued attempt, after earlier prototypes, to fit another multi-level game into a Gottlieb release. A center shot fed the upper level, while the lower level was reversed in layout, similar to Black Hole and Haunted House. The full feature set included six flippers, nine pop bumpers, fifteen stand-up targets, and a 3-bank drop target.

By Trudeau's own account, the ambitious three-level design proved too expensive to bring to market, echoing the fate of several of his other multi-level prototypes from this period. Titan stands today as another record of Gottlieb's experimentation with complex, multi-tiered playfields before cost ultimately curtailed the approach.
