[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 21715, member: 152"] Black Knight is very old as far as solid state tables go (1980). Technology was more limited back then, and features that we take for granted today (like multiball and Magna-Save) were exciting and innovative 30 years ago. Tables in general were crueler back then - ten minutes was considered an exceptionally long game - and much simpler, as the ROMs had limited capacity and it was simply not possible to store all the code in them needed to implement complex mode-based games. I've come to appreciate the older tables more now that I have some of them in virtual form and it doesn't cost me 50 cents each game, but in general I prefer more modern tables. Some others here prefer the more "pure" pinball experience offered by the older, simpler tables. It's all a matter of what you want from your pinball, really. [/QUOTE]
