I really liked the drop targets on Teacher's Pet. It's a little different than the traditional drop target because sometimes you want them up and sometimes you need them down and out of the way. Up and they can score big points. Down and you can hit the rebound switch behind them to light that badly needed letter to finish lighting "Teacher's Pet." Williams wasn't big on banks of targets but were pretty creative with just a few.

Wild West had that style drop target too. I have never played one but it sure looks cool.

You were probably safe leaving that one off the list. I personally don't dislike gobble holes. It would be surprising if it were anyone's favorite feature though.

I like it! They can be a great risk/reward shot on a lot of the games I've played. You are right though, they could have been a little more creative with their use. Maybe one hidden behind a drop target with narrow opening and a healthy reward. Maybe a nearby rollover would reset the drop to block the opening. It could be an added ball and a replay like on some of the convertible games. That would be fun to shoot for.

Neat. I think I may enjoy Team One and Volley. I do enjoy games with drop target banks but it seems aside from Pop-A-Card, the ones I owned were much as Dirtflipper described. Just knock down all the drops. There were some benefits to sharp shooting for a moving light for an added ball or getting the card hand. Essentially though if you get down all the drops in repetition your going to have a hell of a game. When I found myself not thinking about what I'm shooting at anymore I'd sell them.
