    Season Two - Your thoughts so far?

    Any update on the flipper lag in season 2? I played this game way too much in season 1 and loved it. I played some zen pinball when I was waiting for some new tables and then for whatever reason when I booted up TPA the flipper lag was just unbearable, I guess I was so used to it before that I...

    Thanks a lot for all of the help everyone! I bought this shadow back in march and was having it held while the garage got redone. I can't wait, should be here in a week or so!

    Pinball macine dimensions ( The shadow)

    Hi everyone! I just recently completed my gameroom and had my Shadow shipped today. I will also be putting in a pool table and am measuring my room to figure out if I have room for a 9 foot table, but in order to figure that out I need some measurements of The Shadow pinball machine. I am...

    Buying a table in LA area?

    I don't know, FAC prices seem sort of high and if the rest of the machines are in the same shape as the ones in the arcade, then they are way overpriced. They are not kept in the best condition

    They were right, you can't stop at just one!

    The shadow is such a ridiculously fun table, congrats! I bought mine a month ago and haven't had it shipped yet. My garage is being turned into a game room and should be done in a month or so, and finally I will have my first pin. The lust for a second kicked in the day after I bought my...

    My Precious!...

    Now that I think about it I always seem to choke on the final shot of wizard modes. Yesterday I got to The boss mode on sopranos and went SDTM after I missed the final shot. I actually made it to the mode again that same game but didnt even get close to beating it

    My Precious!...

    I have been trying to do this for days and always get screwed up at the last shot. So many machines that I play have not the best flippers and it makes it very tough to actually hit that shot. Frequently the balls just don't have the power to make that jump

    Side by side comparison with a real table (part 2)

    Thanks for the write up, very good read. My only question is, when you got to final frontier, were your eyes inexplicably drawn to the plunger and unable to look back at the playfield? :p

    Bug Game reverts to launch view during Final Frontier

    Well FF is unplayable for me on PS3. About 5 times in a row now FF gets stuck on plunger cam. It seems like the more artifacts you have the more likely it is to get stuck, or maybe that is just coincidence. When I was new to the table and getting to FF with 2-3 artifacts, I never saw this...

    [BOUGHT ANOTHER] My second pin.

    Congrats! I have only played this game once or twice ( with Andrei Massenkoff actually, and it was a little embarrassing). It was fun, but something about those strange handles always got on my nerves. I'm sure that if I actually knew the rules and how to play I could easily ignore them though

    Combos...

    Ahh you mentioned it right before me. I imagine that has to be one of the tougher combos in pinball

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    That is one of the things that drew me to this machine. Probably won't be able to afford another machine for a few years so I did not want something that I could master and get bored of quickly. THe difficulty, flow, and deep ruleset make it seem like the shadow is a perfect choice if you can...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    Yeah as long as a machine is not totally beat up cosmetic stuff does not bother me too much. Besides, who is even going to see the side of the backboard when I have multiple machines next to eachother ;)

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    The entire machine was taken apart and every piece was cleaned, all lamps have been replaced, the rings have been replaced, the red plastic posts are all new, ramps have all been disassembled, cleaned and polished, the GI Connector has been replaced and Trifrucon pins have been installed in the...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    Here are a few pictures to get started, I will post some videos once I actually get it Left cabinet shot. You can see a little scratching on the upper part of the backboard. You can see a few spot from welding that left ramp

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    I saw somewhere between 30-40 pictures of the table including the cosmetic imperfections that I mentioned, detailed shots of the playfield, cabinet backboard etc... As far as I can tell the machine is in fantastic condition. Jeff- The machine was just under 4 k shipped. Everywhere I looked it...

    Thinking about getting my first pin

    UPDATE! So I found a seller who has a giant pinball business and has a near perfect Shadow, or should I say had a near perfect Shadow. It is now mine! This thing has been beautifully restored to like new condition according to the seller and he has several references that say the pins they...
