Marketing Slogans
Where the Shadow falls, earnings rise.

No One Can Resist the Power of The Shadow.

The Shadow has the power to cloud men's minds. But The Shadow pinball has the power to seize players' imaginations!

Comments and Trivia
Underrated pin, probably because of the slightly failed theme it was based on. Features some great music, gameplay and some nice playfield toys. Try to play the shadow at least once.
