Description

Black Knight 2000 has two different plastic artwork versions of the upper playfield - a futuristic and a stone castle design. The voices of the Choir of Angels are Stephanie Rogers and Glo Van Vlack.[1]

The game has an upper and lower level, a repeating U-Turn, Skyway Loop shots and a Drawbridge toy. Black Knight 2000 includes the patented Magna-Save feature from the original - a ball saving magnet preventing balls from draining. Other gameplay features include Lightning Wheel Awards, Hurry-Up bonuses, three Multi-Ball rounds, and The King's Ransom Wizard mode.[2]

Black Knight 2000 appears in episode 7 of season 1 of The X-Files as well as the pinball machine Totem.[3]
