Quoted from Azmodeus:

Shadow is my vastly underrated suggestion.
Outstanding game example, but very polarizing to players. I am in the camp that loves it.
No pop bumpers. The most amazing ball lock. Variable back glass options.

Genuine question…. Does anyone not like The Shadow’s gameplay? I always thought the ranking was lowered due to the art … mainly because of the translite.

Quoted from Daditude:

It is ranked lower because it is
A) a "B" movie theme
and
B) people don't like the Alec Baldwin translite (which most people change out, btw)
If not for those 2 things, I feel it would be in the 8k+ range.
P.S. I have had many opportunities to replace it with games that cost twice as much, but when it comes down to it...TS is better and has more longevity in a home collection than almost all of those.

That's my belief too.... it is a great playing game.

A) The theme is-what-it-is - I don't really mind it, but it certainly isn't one of my favorite themes.

B) Art... this is what I don't really understand. Yes, the translite isn't great, but it can be replaced by the one created by Aurich... which is turns it into one of the alltime great backglasses. The cabinet art is actually pretty awesome - one of my favorites from the 90's... the playfield has has an art deco feel and matches nicely with the toys. IMO... if you change out the translite/speaker panel you can make The Shadow into one of the coolest looking games from the 90's. It is probably the coolest looking game in my collection.

C) You didn't add it... but sound... I enjoy the sound package in the game. I also consider it underrated
