What are the differences to you on these 2 games? Both have that sci-fi type of theme.
Solar City is a 2 player.
Target Alpha is a 4 player.

Colour themes are really different. Although some graphics are the same.
I'm just posting this for comments. Tossed in the poll, including some other Gottliebs with the same layout.

Does Target Alpha have higher scoring (in the 5 ball rule set), than the Solar City?

Out of the El Dorado group of pins the I have not played are Gold Strike and Lucky Strike. Even played the City of Gold, and was killing it at the arcade.

"Just the facts Ma'am". Here are the year of production and the known totals.

1975 El Dorado 2,875.
1975 Gold Strike 675.
1975 Lucky Strike 1,013.
1976 Canada Dry 2,885.
1976 Target Alpha 7,285.
1977 Solar City 2,525.
1984 City of Gold 905.

It is no wonder why there seems to be more Target Alpha games on Pinside.
