(Topic ID: 269544)

I think it looks dumb fo sho, but I understand their thinking. I guess blame them for not making the targets actually work independently of each other.
Quoted from chad:Was Last Action Hero the first to have one?
Does it have one?

Behind the drops. Long hazard bar with a micro switch on either end.
Quoted from transprtr4u:One sided poll , if your looking for a negative outcome mission accomplished
How could anything positive come from a monotarget?
Bump for the bold innovation of TMNT, never seen before: 2 mono-targets.

That's my vote too!

It's taking away multiple stand up targets next to each other, and replacing them with 1 long target, with multiple switches behind it.
If you are familiar with Metallica, the fuel targets on the left were replaced by a mono target on later editions I believe.

.....its the cheapest way to go?
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:.....its the cheapest way to go?
Yep. That's definately not a positive.
If you picture a pinball playfield like pie slices with the crust at the beginning of the shot - i.e. the target (ramp, etc.), and the pointy end between the flippers, I think the “entrance” to these “monotargets” are not larger than a ramp or other “target”. So maybe these monotargets make sense - in terms of size of target.
I will say, though, that hitting side targets and seeing each target light as you hit it, is a lot of fun. It’s even more fun with drop targets. Ok, I changed my mind, monotargets stink.
