One of my favorite titles from this era. Simple rules but fun and challenging layout without being too brutal. May get old after too many games though. Seems like a good introduction to new players compared to some of these older games (some new ones too!). Good flow and satisfying ramp shot. The sounds are on par and the art is top notch for the early 80s. All around a great pin, plus those repro playfield are gorgeous!

After only playing underwhelming (broken as hell) Shadows on location in the past I wasn't too sure about this game. Liked the concepts but when the game doesn't work you can't quite tell how high the fun ceiling is.

Fast forward to finding a very good deal on a broken one with a pretty nice playfield, rebuilding all the mechs, replacing playfield parts that were in multiple pieces, cleaning and shopping out til it plays fast and smooth... Now I know I never want to get rid of it! The upper playfield is super unique and challenging (especially the 2nd 3rd etc time), the video mode is simple enough but very fun! The divertors add another layer of complexity and ball control. A few hundred games in and it hasn't gotten boring or particularly easy. Great game overall.

I don't see why everyone hates the theme so much, yeah the movie is pretty bad but its also incredibly fun and entertaining. Great material for some cringe bingo! To each their own I guess. To me, Shadow :)
