Shadow is a great game with great flow. Yes it has a bad rap due to the backglass, but when your playing the hell outta the game you really dont have time to notice the backglass. Plus it will grow on you with time. I personally think the backglass for STTNG is just as bad but for some reason people love it.

sounds to me like you have an unrepairable problem, just buy the thing and leave it at my house, you won't have to look at Mr. Baldwin and I'll tell you how much fun I'm having, it'll be just like having your own, trust me.

I think there are alternative back glass scans around, if not get one made maybe.

I can't imagine a bad glass stopping me from buying a pin if that's the only thing i didn't like. Maybe if it had two dudes kissing (or worse) on the backglass, not that there's anything wrong with that... (seinfeld quote there).

Check ebay completed listings, there is at least one alternate bg out there.

I bought this before ever buying the machine. Now I have never bought a Shadow, so if you want this one I will sell it to you for $100.00 plus shipping.

I don't even own TS yet but I will bite for $100 if he doesn't!

You don't play the backglass. I guess I don't understand the comment about putting it in a different room, but the art is only as big a deal as you make it.

ignore that yellow line running through it. That is an led light string behind it. It isa in perfect condition.

And in answer to the original question, TS stands up fine in a room full of "A" list pins. Don't worry about the back glass....it's the way the game plays that makes it awesome!

Shadow is a great game, surely the equal of his other 3 games...IMO better. So what about the BG. Do people freak about IJ BG? Same pose.

$100 for the alternate is not a bad deal if the original really bothers you. Shadow is one of the fastest most bad-assed games around, don't get hung up on the art work.

shadow>afm and MM. I happen to dig the backglass too. It's so out it's in

I don't think the backglass is that bad either. I don't like any of the alternate ones either. It's what they did to movie pins in the 90's. You will miss out on a lot of cool pins if you don't like actors faces on the back glass.

I don't mind the backglass at all. The speaker panel is uglier hahah.

IMO its a total nonissue, game is great and challenging

Oh my god just buy the game. It is soooo much fun and hard as hell.

Meh. Doesn't look terrible imo. A couple of those other translites are pretty cool too.

The alternate BG's are way better - the one steve has looks awesome. I have to say I've heard great things about this machine, not that the BG would stop me, but it doesn't help. Given it's as good as everyone says (only got to play once or twice) I'd jump on it and throw on steve's glass...how readily available are they?..

Have all 3, Shadow is a great playing game. I love the ramp diverters. I got the alternate translite, not because I don't like Alec Baldwin, but rather I like the look of pulp comic/art deco theme. I don't want to be reminded of the movie. I hate the speaker panel because of this too.

Back to point: Shadow really compliments the other 2. Incredible game.
