Did not find a club for Gottlieb's 1990, Title Fight, so I thought to start one.
I'm soon to be joining the Title Flight Club! Who else is going to step in the ring with me?
You either love or hate Gottlieb's "street level games" (single level, no ramps), and not all are all that fun, but Title Fight with its animated backbox to punch out your opponent, and the addictive playfield, had me punching the start button over and over when I first played it.
I only really played three games at California Extreme a lot over the last several years. I now own all three to complete my trifecta of fun - Swords of Fury, BK2000 and now Title Fight.
I am driving up to the Pacific Northwest to pick up Title Fight from "fanofpinball" from James - a great seller, and most of all, a great guy.
I started photoshopping images to replace the backbox cardboard fighters with images of Clubber Lang and Rocky. How easy or hard is it to change out the original cardboard characters and replace with new? Any suggestions on how to take apart the backbox to get at the mech to replace the fighter heads appreciated.
The images still need to be properly colorized, sized etc. All I did so far was photoshop out the background, mirror reverse original image so it fits the direction of the original backbox characters, and rotated Clubber so they face each other eye to eye. In the original movie and photo, Clubber was actually looking down at the Italian Stallion.
I've never owned a System 3. Are there any fixes or tips to specifically keep Title Fight running, or System 3's in general I should be aware of?
Thanks for your thoughts and happy holidays!
