Awesome review of The Shadow, Chris. First Johnny Mnemonic, and now Shadow. Your on a roll! I have a Shadow, and I can honestly say, people over for pinball always give it a glance over the first time they see it. The mediocre art and bad license do it no favors. Once they launch that first ball from the gun handle and understand how the diverters work, they love Shadow. Keep up the great work Chris. Dying to see the stories you have of your Banzai Run.

Just bought myself a Shadow and I think it's a great machine! The artwork is not bad, it has great music, great graphics and it's just a really fast and challenging game! I would recommend it to everyone! :D

@SkippyChurch The way to prevent travel to the sides is to check the "four coil stops" under the divertors. They tend to get mushroomed down and that creates an extreme travel from left to right. When I rebuilt them all, I purchased new coil-stops and that seemed to keep them just a tiny bit away from the side of the ramp ( I had to bend the ramp a tiny bit out as well). Take care.

Honestly...I don't really clear-coat too much. You know? But, it definitely helps preserve the older playfields. They are definitely slippery and fast at first. But, they will end up wearing in (my Taxi now plays a little slower, ha ha). :)
