Black Knight – Sword of Rage is classic Steve Ritchie. It has all the DNA of the first two Black Knight games – speech, sound & music, upper playfield with flipper on the LE/Premiums, classic player operated Magna Save to prevent the ball draining right, and art by Black Knight artist Kevin O’Connor. Black Knight – Sword of Rage’s playfield layout is new yet derived from earlier Black Knights, providing fast, flowing game play, with all steel and wire ramps. Steve has added great ball interactive toys with the Knight’s flail mech and multifunction shield mech. He has included drop targets, spinning target, and vuks. A retro play mode utilizes classic rules of the original games and has early pinball numeric score displayed on the LCD. Steve has modernized this pinball with the LCD display that has all original animation, with more Steve speech helped by Barenaked Ladies’ Ed Robertson, and music by Brendon Small and Anthrax’s Scott Ian. Lighting and light shows are bought into the 21st century with LED’s, many RGB, white and appropriate red GI’s, and backpanel mounted LED simulated fire burning down the Knight’s castle.
