Trying to figure out the name of an old pinball machine

[CycOd3liC]

Sorry I don't have any pictures of it... I'm trying to identify a pinball machine I played back in 1991. I believe it had a medieval theme of some sort and had a vertical playfield much like Banzai Run. Any help would be appreciated.

Big guns?

Nope, not that one.... It was very similar to Banzai Run with a vertical playfield in the backbox. I have never seen another one since.

Varkon?

Bizarre machine, but not that either. I'm going to guess it was in the same era as Banzai Run if I remember correctly. Solid State with digital display (non DMD).

Well, I'm going to guess my memory is shot, because I remember some of the sounds of the game. And I was just watching video's for "Swords of Fury" and they sound like what I remember. I could have sworn there was a vertical backbox playfield though.

I would guess either Swords of Fury or Black Knight 2000 based on your description, but neither of those have what I'd consider a vertical playfield. (They do have upper playfields.)

 

[Kolchak357]

The other medieval themes I can think of are Magic Castle and Mystery Castle. But no verticle playfields there either.

 

[CycOd3liC]

Well, this was 1991 we're talking about here. That's about when I discovered pinball. I believe it is Swords of Fury, though. I must have memories crossed with Banzai Run.

Nope... it's definitely Swords of Fury (The noises at the end of the game cemented it for me). My memory isn't the best, but now I think that the place I was at had both SOF and Banzai Run.

I would have guessed Catacomb, but it seems you have already figured it out
