[QUOTE="Matt McIrvin, post: 21772, member: 590"] Black Knight isn't my favorite, but I think the bugs and scripting deficiencies in the current TPA version are detracting somewhat from the actual table's appeal. I'd like to see an overhaul with ROM emulation. Long before I'd played much pinball, I knew about Black Knight, because I'd read a great old article in [I]Science 80[/I] magazine about arcade game development that followed a pinball project and a videogame project in parallel: Black Knight and Star Castle! When I went to Funspot a few weeks ago I got to play Black Knight and Star Castle in the same room (I'd forgotten about the thunderous bass in Star Castle's sound effects, which really makes the game). I remember the article speculated about whether Black Knight or Star Castle was the future, and concluded somewhat wistfully that the videogames were probably going to win. That arcades themselves would nearly die out would probably have been beyond the author's comprehension. [/QUOTE]
