description
Flipcommons AI Descriptions (GameplayFeature) A playfield target that scores higher values the harder it is hit, translating the force of impact into a variable reward. [[manufacturer:id:277]] introduced the mechanism under the name Vari-Target beginning with Airport (1969); [[manufacturer:id:149]] marketed theirs as Power Targets, and [[manufacturer:id:714]] called theirs Linear Targets. The target typically slides backward on a track when struck, with switches at increasing depths registering progressively higher scores. Vari-targets appeared on approximately 78 IPDB-cataloged machines and added a physical skill element that rewarded shot power rather than placement alone. used
