Had a Congo but sold it after two years or so. Just too shallow a rule set, and I got the super jackpot in two days...then wondered if there was anything more. There wasn't. (LOVED playing catch with Amy, though!) Great in a larger collection or temporarily in a small collection.

Shadow is an amazing playfield layout with the awesome sanctum magnet and multiball. But you have to get Aurich's translite so you don't have to stare at Alec Baldwin. Super fun game. Also great in any collection with more lastibility than Congo.

All great games, but if all three were being offered to me for 3k and I could pick one, I'd go with...

You're probably right. It wouldn't be Congo. I think BSD is ugly, but more challenging. Shadow is nicer looking but would probably get stale faster. So it's really 50/50.

Tell that to my Star Wars. And my Game of Thrones. And my Tron. And my...
