Agreed on your Shadow review. To me it's the best game of the 90s. I owned my original game for over 6 years and sold it and it is one of the only games I truly missed and had to find another. I won't sell this one! I think it's a better game than MM and AFM as the layout and gameplay is more unique. The theme is really the only weak spot on the game like you mentioned. The rules and ways to attack the game are also well balanced and getting Shadow and Kahn Super jackpots is really difficult compared to SJ in AFM or MM. That third flipper just adds another element to Shadow that those other games lack. And as for Final Battle, I have only completed the mode once despite getting there many times.

On another topic, did you sell your AS? I thought you really liked that one! Does it hold up ok in a home collection?

I think the main reason is just because JJP games are all still available to buy NIB. If they ceased production HUO values would go up. Higher value Stern games that are still in production are the same way. Wealthy buyers aren't going to buy used just to save a measly $500-$1000.

You guys do a great job with your video productions! I've always wondered... Are you self taught for video editing or do you do that kind of work for your day job?
