About This Machine

Titan was built by Fipermatic Indústria Comércio Importação e Exportação Ltda of Manaus, Brazil, reportedly after Fipermatic took over manufacturing from Taito do Brasil, whose financial troubles left the game unfinished — the backglass carries the Fipermatic name while the cabinet still reads "Taito." Its exact date is unconfirmed but reported as around 1983, and its playfield layout is shared with Williams' 1976 Barracora.

The game's fantasy-themed layout includes two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, a five-bank and a three-bank of drop targets, three standup targets, a spinning target, two kick-out holes, and a rollunder. Its solid-state electronics and Brazilian manufacturing origin make it a notable example of the global reach and adaptation seen in the pinball industry outside the US.

While information about Titan remains scarce and its designer unknown, its unusual manufacturing history — passing between manufacturers and borrowing a Williams playfield design — makes it a fascinating case study for collectors interested in the lesser-known corners of pinball history.
