A classic
sequel... BLACK KNIGHT 2000!
1989 Williams
I am THEE Black Knight... BLACK KNIGHT 2000! This
game was produced in 1989 by Williams, the maker of the greatest and most
collectable modern pinball machines on the planet. Black Knight 2000 is the
sequel to the 1980 smash hit Black Knight. Black Knight was the first game
to incorporate a multi-level playfield with multi-ball, speech and the patented
Williams Magna-Save. Black Knight 2000 incorporates the dual-level
playfield design along with other elements of the original game and takes it all
to the next level by utilizing the more modern features that became available to
pinball designers almost a decade after the original game was produced.
One of the much-improved elements of the updated version of the game is the
modern rockin' sound system! This game has arguably the very best
soundtrack of any pinball machine ever created. The music combined with
the booming voice of the Black Knight puts you in the mood for one wild game of
pinball! The artwork on this game makes it one of the most beautiful
machines to ever roll off of the Williams line. In particular is the great
backglass with bold artwork presented in silk-screened and mirrored fashion.
It's a tight theme with great gameplay and is gorgeous to look at!
You'll love the rock and roll soundtrack and chorus blaring in the background as
you pull the plunger to launch the ball right to the upper level. One of
the primary goals in the game is to use the upper level flipper to bash away at
the red targets. Complete all three and watch as the MOTORIZED DRAWBRIDGE
lowers to allow access to the upper ramp. Shoot your balls up that ramp
and they will be locked. Lock three balls and listen as the Black Knight
tells you to "STAND UP AND FIGHT!" and watch as the MULTI-BALL FRENZY
begins! Go for the drawbridge during multi-ball for the super JACKPOT!
Complete the upper W-I-N rollovers to advance your end of ball multiplier.
The lower playfield features a hidden ramp to the upper playfield and also a
hidden up-kicker as well to get from the lower deck back to the upper deck.
Complete the W-A-R rollovers at the edge of the upper field to start the
hurry-up countdown on the lower playfield. The faster you can make the
hidden ramp shot, the more points you will get. The lower field also
features a hidden U-turn shot that scores progressively higher with each hit.
The lower playfield also features good old-fashioned drop-targets. Drop
them all and get awards such as an outlane kick-back or a MAGNA-SAVE!
That's right, just like the original Black Knight, Black Knight 2000 has the
MAGNA-SAVE feature. If it's lit and your ball is in peril of draining down
the right side, press the extra cabinet button to activate the under-playfield
magnet to pull your ball to a sudden stop and then gently drop it down the
inlane and back into play! That's not all... this game has every possible
playfield feature that Williams could pack onto it! I haven't even
mentioned the R-A-N-S-O-M wizard mode, but I assure you it's a blast!
Classic elements such as pop-bumpers, roll-over lanes, captive holes, stationary
targets, drop-targets, slingshots, ramps, vertical upkickers and more! The
classic and extremely family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!
A gorgeous BK2K all around! The playfield on this game is in excellent
condition due to the fact that the majority of it was covered with a factory-cut
clear mylar protective layer from the time the game was new. The original
mylar was removed from the lower field and the insert art was restored.
The upper playfield has the original factory mylar still installed. The ramps and
plastics on the playfield are in great condition with very few imperfections.
All of the flipper mechanicals were rebuilt and the entire playfield has been
upgraded with an L.E.D. lighting package. The original silk-screened backglass is gorgeous with
minor imperfections and is not a reproduction. The cabinet is excellent
and unfaded with minor blemishes which have been touched-up. The coin door
has been refinished and the chrome legs and playfield glass are new.
This game is a true favorite for pinball machine enthusiasts and it plays
lightning fast just like it did in 1989!
