Williams, 1979How many solid state games have been made with no target banks?
(For now) Go ahead and distinguish a bank as distinct from a single target in your statement -- even if mechanically they are similar.
(suggested) Please post one title per post, so that it's easier to upvote/downvote the single selections as people fact check your ideas.

Quoted from westofrome:Sega's Space Shuttle
Space Shuttle has two target banks. How about Johnny Mnemonic?
Quoted from zacaj:Do inlines like on future spa count?
For now, yes.

Solar Fire! Just kidding.
I was thinking the other day about how many shots are on a given playfield. I think i counted 13 on no fear and 21 on Solar Fire.
Sorry for the detour...
Dirty Harry has a number of single stand up targets -- but no drops that I can think of. . . not sure if this qualifies for the OP's question. I know the prototype game had one drop target that was eliminated for regular production.
Edit: Just realized several of the targets are next to each other -- DH disqualified.

Aren't some of the bullet stand ups right next to each other through?

You are correct. Edited the post after I realized my mistake.
Mof, was I right about Johnny Mnemonic? I have bad eyes. This is an fun thread dude, we need less complaining on the forum and more fun. That's what the hobby is about after all.
Quoted from Frippertron:Johnny Mnemonic?
I'm looking on ipdb -- sure looks like it -- a few single targets -- can any JM owners chime in?

Quoted from Pdxmonkey:Fireball Classic
HaHa well done -- I was looking for solid state "designs" even though you caught a re-make!

I'm seeing three banks of standups on Raven on ipdb

Sorry, I thought it was strictly drop targets. My bad.
Quoted from Mitch:Demolition man
Damn, super close -- like No Fear, it has a 2-bank of standups...
Quoted from snyper2099:1977 Eight Ball
I think someone caught a fish!
All right how about strikes and spares? it has 5 targets in a row but not technically. there is a post in between each target and each target is mounted in its own individual cutout (hole). this allows it so that you can hit in between the taget and just hit the post without registering either target.
Quoted from Frippertron:Kind of cheating but Super Orbit.
I played that game recently...not even sure what it has! 
Quoted from Mitch:strikes and spares
Interesting! I appreciate you pointing that one out -- it is on the fence...
But for the purpose of my research, it doesn't qualify...

Another fish caught !
