Good call! During the golden age of fighting games, I put my quarters on the glass waiting to play M.K, *The Black Knight* would randomly do a cool light/sound show. It stood out from the other pinball machines. I liked it more than Adams Family. I think it had a motion sensor because when someone walked by TBK he would taunt *”GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!”* It actually scared younger kids.

Even though Steve Ritchie isn't a particularly good pinball player, he does masterfully understand how to create excellent game flow. That means the game pace has to be very fast so that the player is challenged nearly all the time. A table taking this concept to the limit is Scott Danesi's Total Nuclear Annihilation. Beneath the scoop the ball bounces around at the speed of light. This makes a player go into overdrive with his neurotransmitters working under full load. Knowledge of how the ball will bounce off an object as well as blitz reaction is required. The low positioning of the flippers makes it much harder to safely stop the ball, so often the breathtaking hunt for control continues. High speed means also more exciting inlane-outlane action / time. More inlane-outlane action means more drains but the lane save feature genuinely balances the situation. When a ball passes the outlane switch, lane save instantly loads the new ball into the shooter lane to fire away. This process could be sped up further if a ball was already waiting in the shooter lane - talking about nuances here ofc. I like the scoop's fast kick-out bc wait for what? I dislike though that the scoop activates the ball-saver. It has to be possible to adjust the scoop so that it doesn't throw the ball SDTM. Given that, the player shouldn't have the option of draining deliberately. The downside of TNA is that shots to the top (spinner and into the scoop) are pretty seldom and so 90% of game play takes place in the lower section. For the same reason multiball play feels a bit "overcrowded" as the balls collide extremely often. TNA's single multiball feature is the only strategy to go for. That's pretty poor. The unique lock sequence however counts on the plus side. Black Knight has a wider open playfield what means a little less speed however if you don't hit the shot and the ball bounces back from posts, fast reaction is tested for sure. Different multiballs make BN more interesting. Overall playability is hard to compare as different layouts obviously play differently. BN is more what's expected and TNA more unique. I say it's a standoff. TNA's awesome soundtrack wins slightly over BN's while BN is ahead concerning art and video animations. If I had to decide between a BN Premium and a TNA I'd choose the BN but only by a small margin. To me it seems incredible how close Danesi's team can come to the Stern giants.

Seattle Pinball Museum has a Pro table, while the music didn't get me as pumped as 2000 (little too loud in the museum to hear it clearly), the gameplay is pretty good. If I can find one of the versions that has an upper playfield I bet it'd be even better. Cheers!

I remember "Black Knight 2000" was a pinball machine that I saw only once in Japan when I was in elementary school. I was horrified by its loud sound at the time, lol. As pinball machines, game arcades themselves, are disappearing from Japan, I respect the fact that there are still people who are passionate about creating pinball machines. I sincerely hope to see the actual machines with my own eyes, even if it is just once, before all game centers disappear from Japan.

This table is absolutely beautiful, I wish there was one less than a 5 hours one way drive from me. I dream of a day Stern would partner with one of the better pinball emulators like Visual Pinball to release official tables. Unfortunately Pinball Arcade just isn't great in comparison, though I'm glad to have the old Black Knights on there before the licensing issues. Hell, I'd donate $30 for a high-quality Sword of Rage VPX. I understand there may be technical difficulties or piracy concerns, but man do I love a Stern table.
