You DO realize that to get the deadworld mod, you have to order it and actually keep the game long enough for it to arrive in the mail, right?  



Just teasing

That game was so heavy that I'll never be moving it again....it says put.....that is until I finally cave-in and buy a dolly

Quoted from TwilightZone

I read all the stuff and investigated it. In the end, I figured it was a "feature" and I had to live w/ it or take the mod out. Had I kept the JD, the mod would have been sold.

Hmmmm... maybe its time for me to post on the "parts wanted" section of MAACA

+1 for the shadow: Does not require a mod with a downgraded ROM to be used to its full potential.

Yeah, but Alec Baldwin.....

It'3 months ago I would have said Shadow hands down, but I'm getting kida of sick of Shadow so the prospect of owning a JD for me for a while seems apealing.

Sounds like the cycle I went through. JD has been gone longer than S so it may be a matter of variety. I did like the JD theme better. Beating all the judges is just plain tough and rewarding in a way when you do it. I wish the game didn't have the Superpin buy in mode though so you would have to earn the multiball as opposed to going "hey Jack check this out" and pushing the button. Trivial stuff but part of the package. Hate the button choice they made on JD, it looks like crap. Love the gun on S. Really like JD's BG and topper... what can I say about S in this regard?? As disfunctional as it is the deadworld looks cool when it spins. Left kickback is a waste of time on JD. Sanctum is a cool ball trick. S dots are better than JD's and there is probably too much going on on the JD DMD as a whole during the game. What was my score again?

What was my score again?

Uhhhh...Id say that's a another vote for JD...yup, JD is cleaning up in the votes here

Hey hippo, is JMA still the Grand Champion on your JD?

No comment

Owned both at the same time, still have Shadow.

JD is fun, but Shadow is more challenging.

Not anymore
Only crushed your score by 107,000,000

My vote would definitely go to Shadow.  Enjoy the gameplay, playfield layout and associated features, art or more specifically the art deco look on the playfield of Shadow(but not necessarily the translite), and the music /speech on Shadow as compared to Judge Dredd.  Enjoyed JD for about the first two weeks I owned it but soon after it became trade bait.

PS Yes Glen I changed my opinion on the playfield art on Shadow and I really like the diversity this has to offer to a gameroom collection.  

IMHO most of S's art is quite good. Nice cab, nice work on the gun, pf is art deco. Had they used the same artwork they used on the cab for the translite it would have been a nice package.

I don't mind the translite, but there is substantial room for improvement. The game suffers from licensing issues the same as many others do. Had the game been modelled less after the movie and more after the radio program it would have been a classic theme vice a dated theme.
