Playing shadow

I just finished playing a few games on shadow, on my last game i got the new high score on my machine with 2.6 billion. I reached the final battle and missed out with 1 more shot to complete!! This is the second time its happened to me and the third time I've reached the final battle. I had final battle lit on my last ball but the ball drained, this would have been the second final battle on the same credit. I love the lead-in to the final battle, it gets you pumped loll and i love this game!

Shadow tweaking

Today i adjusted the shadow flippers to be very accurate and also adjusted the ramp diverters. I was having a problem with tightening the one on the left ramp. I also put the flashers back on the backboard and levelled the machine to factory spec. It was much steeper than it should have been.. ill see how it goes.

I was just putting a few plays on it and was having a really good game which came to a sudden end after not hitting the lit extra ball on ball 3! =(

One problem I've come across is that the right ramp when shot hard. Sometimes the ball fly's out of the wire form into the upper flipper. I will put a couple of washers where the ramp mounts to raise the right hand side of it up a bit.
