The Shadow
The Shadow is a 1994 pinball game designed by Brian Eddy and released by Midway (under the Bally label). It is based on the 1994 movie of the same name. This game featured new speech by Penelope Ann Miller (Margo Lane), John Lone (Shiwan Khan), and Tim Curry (Farley Claymore) (reprising their respective roles), as well as speech from the movie. The Shadow’s speech for this game was provided by Williams/Midway voice actor, Tim Kitzrow.
Doug Watson chatted with the director of the film, Russell Mulcahy, for several hours on a research trip to Hollywood. The game’s noted features include player-controlled ball diverters on the left and right ramps, a magnetic ball lock (which freezes the ball and pulls the ball inside the ball lock for Shadow Multiball), and a Breakout-style upper playfield, called “The Battlefield”.
