I was trying to explain to someone yesterday that this fantastic table was more like playing baseball than pinball...a test of reaction speed....and nothing can capture the sounds like being in front of the machine. I loved how the programmers used multi-tracks and events to allow the song to hang on the beat while mixing it up for events. My all time favorite table (well, there is Addams's & Twilight...but they just aren't this sweat-making)
Its brutal. I love that the extra ball timer gets shorter when you score them. Getting 3 ransoms on one ball is just about the most heart pounding game ive ever played on any table.
I grew up in Coney Island during the 1980's. This was during the video arcade era. The pinball boom had past. However an arcade that I used to go to with my friends had this pinball. game. I was about 13 years old and remember this game being turned up all the way. The music has been stuck in my head for years. I would love to buy this for my home.
I've only played this on Pinball Arcade. But there was something about this table that hooked me. Not only is it the art, the music, and the fun gameplay it provides, but it's also knowing that Ed Boon (the Black Knight) and Dan Forden worked on it. Which, only 3 years later, they came out with a well-known franchise named Mortal Kombat.
I'm pretty sure you're hooked by the fact that it laughs at your demise each time it uses magnets to pull your ball into your diminished magna save hole.
Played this for the first time yesterday. What a table! Unfortunately it wasn't in pristine condition, but it still lived up to the years of expectations I've had for this game. Suffice it to say, this is now one of my absolute favorites.
This was my favorite pinball machine of all time. The Black Knight always treated me well. I was the local BK2K champ around my area. Those were great times !!!
I remember being at the top for weeks in Stafford College on this machine, being in the engineering dept was a bonus too, we made loads of pound coin replicas turning brass on a lathe then filling the center hole with lead for weight. LoL would love to see this again after all these years! It was a temperamental machine, always being down for service with the upper flipper failing or lower right not having any power. I may invest in something as a money box for the holiday fund... Thanks for sharing a remnant of my younger years, a deffo favourite!!!
Nicely played! So many people blow the magna-save you are one of the few (besides me) that ever seemed to know exactly when to hit it. You are a master of the multiplier advance, but my ramp-loop combo skills outmatch yours. Congrats on owning one of the best pinball tables of all time, and thank you for Sharing this play!
Just played this today for the first time in the Kraków (Cracow) Pinball Museum and can say that the music from this machine is incredible when experienced first-hand!
Same here, also played it in Kraków like 2 years ago. Love the music. Hopefully they did some maintenance on that table, the bottom floor was all warped back then
It's been 25 years since the last time I played this table, and watching this I can still feel the right amount of nudge to rock the ball away from the side chutes. Thank you. And damn you, because now I need to find one again.
Steve Richie, was an influential pinball creator and created not only my dads love for pinball, but mine. I also own a Black Knight 2000, but the lowest most thumper on the second level doesn't work
Maaaaan, I'll NEVER forget the first time I landed a Special on this game many moons ago! That super loud POP on that machine scared the soul outta me for a moment! Best time ever!!
Scoring big on BK2K isn't just about hitting the shots; it is about hitting the right shots at the right time. Mastering the one-touch shot to get the ball back to the upper playfield is so important
Goddamn... The music is truly amazing 😻 absolutely love it!! Best pinball table ever after Terminator 2 pinball 🎉 Good job. I have just joined your channel and we are connected now 🐱
This thing was so loud. My local arcade would have it cranked. You could hear it before you even walked in, goading the player to play "GIVE ME YOUR MONEY". Then when you played it had such unique sounds and music. The thing was loud and raucous and amazing.
I used to play this captivating machine for hours at an arcade Take 10 as a child Loved this machine great for a.d.d. Only thing is the ball used to sometimes stick in the launcher, but that’s pinball. The Black Night would just laugh
Thanks so much for triggering my memories! I also love how one of the come-hithers was "You can do it! You can do it! (pause) Beat the Black Knight!" If I ever get a pinball machine for our basement, BK2k will 100% be the machine I get. Best. Pinball. Machine. Evar.
I can't fathom how much money I dumped into BK2000 at the old amusement center at Corry Station in Pensacolam FL back in 1990 time era. Hands down the fastest and hardest pinball table I ever played. Loved it.
When I had a spare quarter or two I always bumped the machine to see what the tolerances were before I started playing seriously. It is a legitimate strategy. Once I learned the limitations of the bump I never lost a single quarter after my initial "serious playing" quarter. Yes, I was that kid that hogging that pinball machine without placing another quarter in.
😳 ….this is so mind-blowing…. it’s just purely visceral epileptic overload… taking just one general subset of why we love tables, and amping that aspect up to 11… it’s just a table for players on drugs lol
Just an old school table, though… like the ultimate expression of a 1930s style table. I have never played it… but it looks like it doesn’t have all the narrative designs of modern tables, like multilevel missions and submissions, and easter eggs… just pure targets and score, light this up, then light that up, with fast gameplay. Super cool.
back in 2014 i found one black night 2000 for sale here in Greece for 600 euro and one revenge from mars for 700 euro.still to this day i regret for not buying them on the spot... :(
I use to put quarters up on the glass to wait in line to play Mortal Kombat at my local arcade. This machine would do its own light show next to M.K. This song was a huge part on my youth. P.S This machine was an epileptic’s kid’s nightmare. P.P.S this guys a fucking pinball Wizard! I did know there was end game sounds!
The one at my arcade feeds the ball into the right sling half the time. Is this by design? I have to hit the table every time it comes down that guide rail, and my hand gets really sore. And if you don't hit it just right, it's an instant drain. So I'm guessing the answer is probably no lol... But I've heard this table is pretty brutal, so just asking anyway.
OK first off all. You clearly have more skill than me when it comes to knowing how to use the ball. However. You panic too much. You take unnecessary chances. An you kind of rush to get rid of the ball way too soon. Its like you aren't feeling the groove of the game.
Wow okay this was like 5 years ago when I was just starting to play, lmao - a lot changes in that time. I've improved since this was shot like half a decade ago.

You gotta experience this one!

Parker Askew it is a pretty tough pinball machine

This one sticks out in my memory after hours in a lot of arcades playing MK and Street Fighter 2. It would do its own sound/light show in the corner.
Give me your money! I love this machine.
I love the setup of the table camera. Very good.
This was my favorite pinball machine of all time. The Black Knight always treated me well. I was the local BK2K champ around my area. Those were great times !!!
God I love the pinballs of mid-late 80s aesthetic
I missed lots of school to perfect my skills on that machine back then. :)
Shit yea!
My favorite pinball table growing up. I sucked at it, but the music and theme were enough for this guy when he was a young lad.

What year was that Rob ? I also went to Stafford but there were different machines around in my time.

i love the deeper voice that goes "HA HA HA HA......GIVE ME YOUR MONEY."

This is the best pinball table ever created.

Thank you. And damn you, because now I need to find one again.
Last time I was there, the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas had one. I played the ever-living-crap out of that machine!
The sounds remind me a lot of heavy metal meltdown of the same era.
Great lightshow!

Probably an easy fix.
Maaaaan, I'll NEVER forget the first time I landed a Special on this game many moons ago! That super loud POP on that machine scared the soul outta me for a moment! Best time ever!!
Same. Still my favorite pinball machine of all time

This was the the best pinball game in history
I just got the original Black Knight a few weeks back. Glorious! Gotta find this one next
Thanks for a good memory reminder. Someday I'll own one of these!
I used to play this captivating machine for hours at an arcade Take 10 as a child Loved this machine great for a.d.d. Only thing is the ball used to sometimes stick in the launcher, but that’s pinball. The Black Night would just laugh

Obrigado por disponibilizar o vídeo. Não sei se você sabe, mas Ed Boon (Mortal Kombat) quem trabalhou na programação desta máquina.
Just watching all of this in motion is really mesmerizing. It's like rube goldberg machine go off
A certain speedrunner, who was helping Naruto & Pikachu help find their car keys mentioned staying up all night to play this game in a charity venue
The Black Knight is like the Dark Souls of pinball. All three machines.
I lost track of time playing this once when it was set on free plays
I probably should mention that one of the lightning bolts on the table doesn't light up like the other ones.
Bit late now I sold the machine 5 years ago :P
When I had a spare quarter or two I always bumped the machine to see what the tolerances were before I started playing seriously. It is a legitimate strategy.

My favorite! Great nostalgia

The coordinated syncopated backboard is just so epic… this whole thing is freaking me out haha

The last pinball machine programmed by Ed Boon before moving to Mortal Kombat

Awesome! Recuerdo cuando lo jugaba en Karina Espacial, allá a principios de los '90's.
(I remember when I played it in the 90's at "Karina Espacial")
You always want. To play in at least 2. player to get the bonus ball at the end.
God I want this table.
You've got the power
(Hahahaha)
You've got the might
(No way)
Get ready for battle
(Give me your money)
Defeat the Black Knight!
Mesmerizing game.
Thanks for this!
Amazing
Great job!
The music Reminds me of mighty morphin power rangers
Benny Harvey RIP
Thanks bonesaw

Bence olağanüstü bir şey.
Ed Boon bir dahi (alkış)(alkış)(alşık)
Woolie was right.
Better days, no WhatsApp ,no mercy!
