Black Knight 2000 is a 1989 pinball game designed by Steve Ritchie (who also provides the Knight's voice) and released by Williams Electronics. The game is the sequel to the 1980 pinball machine Black Knight. It was advertised with the slogan "He rides again." and features a black knight theme.[1]

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]

Digital versions

Black Knight 2000 is available as a licensed table in The Pinball Arcade. Black Knight 2000 was also included in the arcade game UltraPin.
