Watching y'all reach for the word "art deco" when describing this art, but never getting it was KILLING me. I agree with Zach tho, love the playfield. Looks beautiful! And I appreciate the tour of the machine, that one was in great condition!

I love your review videos. They are a really useful resource when deciding which pins to buy

That shadow almost looks NIB. Great find and great video as always guys!

Thanks for the explanation. Just picked up a shadow as my first pinball.

Dang these machines (all of them) went up drastically in the past year or two. Can’t really find a Shadow under 5K now.

Hello fellas, I have owned a shadow machine for years and absolutely love it except for it randomly resets during play. The worst was when I had like 3 shots left to conquer the final battle and the machine reset! Does anyone have any advice on fixing this reset issue? I have replaced the power board and cpu with german made pin led ones and still have this issue.

Hi guys You are so right! I love the shadow pinball too!!!! Bought it some month ago and love to play it daily!!! Nice review!!!!!!

I'm lovin' the Shadow now - thanks for the video!

I really love the different feel to ramps because of the diverters. The ball lock and mini play field is great too. But the art and theme don't call out to me (the one I play don't have the modded trans light / back glass). Thanks for another great episode and review! 👍🏼

That Shadow is amazing. You guys convinced to buy one and give it some love to make it pretty. Where didyou find that apron?

very nice show...watching it sitting directly byside my shadow in my swinning chair... perhaps a idea for one of our next shows: what spareparts are only available in which store or in which country around the world or from some users of pinside or other forums... greetings from germany

Love Shadow!! Thanks for reviewing this one guys :)

Top 5 game for me, love mine. The art-deco playfield is beautiful but you need to have the Aurich package to supplement it. No pop bumpers make it so quick! Made it to final battle maybe 5 times, been 4 shots from completing it. Great review again guys :)

My first and favorite pin!

I know the pin is based off the movie but when it comes to The Shadow it's the old radio program that you have to consider. I commute and listen to audio books and old radio and The Shadow is legit.

My favorite game! Bought a beautiful one in 2012 and I'm not going to sell it ever!

The 30's art style is known as "art deco".

The Shadow is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Shadow is an awesome machine, of all my machines that have come and gone the shadow is the only one I know I will own again one day. One thing worth mentioning about the music and callouts is they are amazingly crisp/clear/dynamic, or at least they were on my machine ( standard speakers fitted, no pinsound etc ), probably the best sound quality I've come across until GB came out. Also the slingshots on mine were very powerful, I don't know why but they were really fast.

Gee Zach, do you give anything besides an A? I think I saw a B! Anyway great review, and now I got to find one for sale because of this video. Great job.

It will be a keeper in my collection for a long time. If you have never played it with a colordmd installed you are missing out, because color in this game is amazing, easily top 5.

In episode 9 while you're reviewing Johnny Mnemonic your Star Trek game in the background shows a last game score of 26,158,690, the same score it shows in this episode 23. You've got that great game sitting there and you haven't played it since March 31st? Or do you do several episodes at a time and release them weekly in no particular order?

Brian also programmed other games. IJ for example.

Great episode. The Shadow was actually the machine that got me back into pinball by playing it at a local arcade about a year ago. The ramps can be brutal.

This was my pin, Till GB showed up. great vid guys!!!

I so want a Shadow now!

Whose nose lurks in the heart of men? ... The Shadow's nose.

Art: B Shots/Layout: B+ Rules/Code: B Toys/Innovation: B Music/Call Outs: B+ Theme: B+ I found myself bouncing back and forth between B and B+ for every category. Toys/Innovation -- underwhelming. Black Knight and Flash Gordon also have good upper playfields.

no mention of no pop bumpers? fail...just kidding good show guys!

*Bowen Kerins wouldn't tell you this pin is B-level after what he did on it at the PAPA finals in 2013 lol*

Took me a long time to get to like Shadow, admittedly. It's definitely not a game for the conservative player (ironic given the number of fan-shot layouts derived from what he did afterwards), it's brutal when it's set up properly and the license did it no favours whatsoever at the time, but give it time and you'll appreciate how it's 'different' rather than 'gimmicky'. And this was Brian Eddy's first solo design. Nobody can take that away from him.

The shadow looks like a really damn fun game to play but I'm with Greg on this one I don't really think it's the most attractive looking game ever lol.

I had a really nice Shadow but sold it. Didn't gel with me. I even bought the Aurich translite too. The artwork on the playfield sucks. I really don't know why its rated so highly..

Doesn't get much prettier than the art on shadow 🤣 zombie yeti and franchi would like a word hahah
