White Water is my favorite original themed machine of all time. Love everything about it. Lights, sounds, rules, topper, Bigfoot, difficulty, etc. it’s just damn clever. Family and friends love it.
Having said that, I really like The Shadow. I’ve been looking for a really nice one for a long time to no avail. Very cool, tough design and rules. No one likes The Shadow for its theme, but the gameplay is great. The only problem is I’m the only one in the house that likes The Shadow, so it’s not big on the family list.
