If I recall correctly Hot Shot was Gottliebs first attempt at a "search" bonus and even then it wasn't used very often compared to the bonus ladder. It seems they got it right with later games like target alpha though I can't vouch for reliability.
After spending the later part of 3 weeks trying to fix the bonus on mine though, I gotta say it blows my mind how those engineers were able to do so much with such simple technology.
Quoted from EMsInKC:I've played it but don't remember, Sure Shot was configured like this, did it use the same method of counting the bonus?
Never owned one but based on videos and pictures of the under playfield on IPDB, it uses a similar method to the one used in target alpha. As far as I've seen the method used to count the bonus on HS was only used on HS.
