The T2 machine is both godly and legendary. It could be because I've had very little exposure to pinball machines...

When I somehow managed to get Visual PinMAME going a few years ago (which seemed to be an incredibly convoluted process) I played the fuck out of Black Knight 2000. The soundtrack was incredible, and it was the first table I was ever able to master.

Dose the emulated black Knight throw the ball around? I loved that table becasue you could launch the ball on top of everything yet it never seems to get stuck.


I have no idea, I've never been able to play a real Black Knight 2000 table. It's got that double-decker thing going for it, you know. The emulation makes it feel like a great table, though, since I was able to collect R A N S O M multiple times.

R A N S O M mode, by the way... That'll make you love pinball. Every single high-scoring element on the table lights up one-by-one and the music ramps up before finally unleashing the multiball and seeing how many millions you can score in 90 seconds.

It's probably the pinball equivalent of playing Super Mario Bros. as your first video game and getting a Starman for the very first time.

Talking about Black Night 2000, I have my copy of Grand Royal Magazine - Issue 4. heres an excerpt from an interview with Lyman 'Silk' Sheets:

What's the longest you've ever played?
One game, one time, lasted me an hour and forty five minutes
OH MY GOD!
Yeah, it was Black Knight 200. Back in 1988, I played it for an hour and forty five minutes. My back hurt and I had actually two more balls to play. I couldn't play it anymore. I punched the ball into the play field and just let it drain.
.

I should scan it for you.


That would be nice, if it's no hassle. I think I've spent 45 minutes on one game, but I had a comfy office chair to sit in :/

OK! I scanned that article finally... kinda big images so apart from the cover being spammed here it's a download for your consideration and enjoyment...


Thank you, Greng. I'll give it a read sometime soon. Irfanview works just fine for viewing this sort of thing.
