Brings back memories of many hours spent in the arcade on just that one machine.
I used to love activating the STEEP ramp because when you were able to make it up the activated steep ramp you would get a very satisfying boom boom boom boom with white lights like lightning. What a satisfying thing that was.
From the the sound effects to lighting and game play and just plain 'in general', this game is very exhilarating.
Thanks for posting- great game play... haven't seen anyone rock this one out since back in the day the way you're doing... I hope this one is at pinball expo 2011 this fall.
I'm debating between this one, Space Shuttle and Hyperball for my first pin when the time comes...
This machine is likely due to my tinnitus after spending most of the 70s and 80s in pinball parlors. This game added so much to the parlor experience, and sound wise competed well with the video games.
I have this game, it needs a major tune up but don't really know anyone that works on them. The magnet saves on this game are awesome. Steeljaws game room
I love this game! I used to play it all the time. Ya did great, made the bell ring twice! I don't know what makes it ring but I think it means you are doing really really good! I used to use the flipper to stop the ball and just listen to the sound effects. Another cool thing is when it sits idle it will say with its machine voice: Who wants to challenge the Black Knight ha ha ha. It was a funny sounding laugh. Play on!
Ok,myname is Götz jeder,der mich früher in Güterslohkannte,weiss,dass ich jeden am BlackNight schlagen kann.Ich gebe damit nicht an,ich sage nur,wie es ist,nachdem was ich geradeeben an der Wiedergabe am Monitor gesehen habe.
Also,ich fordere hiermit jeden heraus amWilliams Black Knight!
Das sit kein Fake oder sowas ;10Jahre habe ich diese Maschine und andere gelernt,überwiegend bally.
my dad was selling pinballs for vendors way back and my cousin wanted one of these bad so we bought it for $350 working perfect in 1996 then they wanted to sell it in 1999 for $800 nobody wanted it soon as they gave up $300 and it was gone in a flash now there worth alot more because they are piece of history first talking pinball machine ever !!!!!!!!
LOVED this machine. Was the first two-level machine, as well as being one of the first talking machines, and the first (that I knew of) with magna-save. Oh yeah, and those great Williams Defender & Robotron SFX as well. A gem of the early 80s.
That was a n awsome playthrough. That has a mixture of sounds from joust, robotron, and defender. What was that bell that went off twice. Was that part of the machine?
Best pinball machine Ever!!!!!

Nice! We had that game in our youth center, but it's broken now. I managed to score 1,000,000 once - and only once - before it stopped working.
