"Black Knight 2000," released by Williams in April 1989, is the sequel to the original "Black Knight" pinball machine from 1980. Designed by Steve Ritchie, this game is notable for its innovative use of a two-level playfield, a feature that enhances the gameplay complexity. It incorporates exciting elements like the Magna-Save feature, which allows players to prevent the ball from draining, and the use of a third flipper.
The machine is renowned for its distinctive soundtrack, considered one of the best in pinball history, combining rock music with medieval themes. The game’s audio experience is further enhanced by voice callouts from Steve Ritchie himself and a choir of angels, adding a dramatic flair. Additionally, the game is equipped with unique artwork by Doug Watson and an engaging light show that complements its fast-paced play.
