[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 9760, member: 152"] Both of which were included for historical reasons. Space Shuttle was "the machine that saved pinball" in the mid 80s. Yes, it's ridiculously easy, but pinball needed a table that was accessible to the masses at the time and Space Shuttle happened to fill that void right when it was needed. Firepower and Black Knight introduced multiball to the masses. (There might have been a table that had it earlier - I can't remember - but these two tables are the ones the made it popular.) Black Knight derives additional importance from being the first table with a split-level playfield, although I personally detest BK - there is something about it that my brain refuses to understand and consequently I do very poorly on it.
