Space Walk
About This Machine
Space Walk is an electro-mechanical, two-player pinball machine produced by Fipermatic Indústria Comércio Importaçăo e Exportaçăo Ltda, a manufacturer based in Manaus, Brazil. The game is a copy of Gottlieb's 1979 'Space Walk,' reflecting a wider pattern of Brazilian manufacturers producing close adaptations of American pinball designs for the South American market during this period.
Gameplay features a four-flipper layout with a single pop bumper, two star rollovers, four-bank drop targets, and a kick-out hole, plus a mini-post positioned below the flipper gap and no slingshots. The maximum displayed score per player is 199,990 points, and the game uses three chimes for sound rather than electronic tones.
Its Outer Space theme, typical of the late-1970s science-fiction wave in pinball, and its origin from a lesser-known Brazilian manufacturer make Space Walk a notable curiosity for collectors interested in the international spread of American pinball designs. Details about its exact production numbers and history remain scarce.
