C37 fits your criteria. As does Abra Ca Dabra.

And maybe Jacks Open 1977 wedgehead - drop targets but a much more progressive ruleset. On my wishlist!

Or 2 player drop target, fantasy art - Gemini. But super hard to find and expensive!

I have owned all the games except Elvira in your collection. I used to have 100% dmd, now I am down to 2 dmd - IM and Metallica. But I also want Tron and ACDC.

To me the above games are intense, addictive, short ball times - usually!

But em's apart from the nostalgia, great artwork, have that addictive, one more game feature. Gottliebs in particular were designed to always make you feel close but you never quite get there.

Games that have a deeper ruleset, i.e progressive and that will drive you nuts are - 70's

Abra ca Dabra
Atlantis
Jacks Open
El Dorado

Those are all drop targets as well.

In terms of 'one more game' the Gottliebs from 61 -67 had this big time. Wow, those games can humble anyone. And I hear Gottlieb's 51 - 55 are some of the best games ever made, but yet to experience them.
