- description
- [[manufacturer:gottlieb]]'s specific implementation of [[gameplay-feature:rotating-targets]], using a vertical wheel assembly that spins to cycle different target faces past the player. The mechanism earned the "roto-target" name from Gottlieb's marketing, and the term became widely associated with the brand. Roto-targets appeared on approximately 69 IPDB-cataloged machines, with famous examples including *[[title:rocket-ship]]* and *[[title:spin-out]]*, primarily during the [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] era of the late 1960s and 1970s. The vertical wheel design gave roto-targets a distinctive visual presence on the playfield — the spinning assembly was visible to the player, making the timing challenge tangible and immediate.
