such an awesome game, mine is currently for sale on ebay, only problem with the game is that it is a one flipper game as you demonstrated its all on the right flipper.. cradle the ball on the right flipper then flip up to the upper playfielld and rinse repeat..
great vid though and a nice looking BK check out my vid it should be up for a few days until the table sells :0)
Wow! When I was a kid, my parents used to take us to Atlantic City all the time and we always stayed at the Showboat Casino. The first place me and my brother would go was the arcade next to the bowling alley and we'd ALWAYS play this game!
Thanks for posting this! Definitely one of the best pinball games of all time. Looking forward to adding one of these to my gameroom soon. Spent way too much time playing this when I was younger and can't wait to do it again :-)
my dad bought this pinball machine a few days ago and i must say i'm addicted to it. i'm 16 and never grew up when arcade was super popular, it was all about consoles at the time, but this is classic. i got over 16 million points on this game so far. also, the soundtrack to this game kicks ass.
Classic, awesome game. The light show never gets old. I hope one day, more pinball companies emerge again and are able to choose more cool original ideas, like BK2000
This has to be the greatests of all Pinball games. This and Indiana Jones stick out most in my mind from childhood, though Indiana came way way after.
Thanks for posting...this is my all-time favorite pinball game! When my husband and I get a bigger house (i.e. with a finished basement) we are going to try to find one of these.

Hi, I bought this machine on the 22th of November and I had to make some little repair but now it works perfectly; this is a real fantastic pinball, first of all for the music but also for the gameplay; I was lucky to find a good technician for repair it; however thanks Steve Ritchie!
My brother got thus machine as his graduation gift and I used to play all the time. The only problem was that it was in need of repair, i.e. the music went on only after about three years of me playing it, some lights were out/dim, the top right flipper was to weak/stuck. :[ But with all of that I still loved it.
I used to be a wiz at this in 1989 when i was in high school, there was an arcade in the mall part of the Hills dept. store in lebanon, pa and I would make that sucker crack with free games! Only thing i can afford now is an owners manual from ebay I have framed, maybe someday I'll have my own (if I ever get an extra $1000.00 to spare)
Ofcoarse The Left Flipper Works! You Can't Hold A Video Camera And Play Both Flippers At The Same Time Ya Dork! But Anyway, I Have That Same Machine Too. I Love It! Its One Of The Best.
This is my favorite pinball of all time..I do agree that twilight comes a close second, but for this game I would for go a new car and subject myself to public transportation.
This is one of my favorite pins (next to Twilight Zone), mostly because of the music (esp. the "King's Ransom" music). Speaking of "King's Ransom", can you make a video of you playing it? It's also one of my favorite wizard modes, other than "Lost in the Zone".
superb pinball !
