Since everyone is talking about a Black Knight, I thought that I would add the following.

I just saw this 30th aniversary Black Knight pin in this video. There are about 10 modifications, nice touch and even uses black pinballs which I have never seen. Check it out ;

A few aspects of the playfield are pretty nice (ie. drop targets), but nothing says tribute like sh**ty, low-res, ill-proportionately stretched images and default Windows fonts.

There goes six minutes of my life i'll never get back..

at first, i was hoping it was just elaborate photoshop (seeing the craptacular side art), then the swirling drain action doesn't stop.

i don't think the guy noticed the irony. How he removed everything that made the game special (just to stress and repeat 1980-2010) every couple of square inches.

playfield looks much better than a lot i saw lately!

i agree cab look better with the original, his new art doesn't cover enough of the cab and look weird.

custom shooter rod is good.

i don't know about the decals on the drop targets, the one with 30th  

and the black pinball is found here: http://www.blingpinballs.com/?p=sb

Thanks for the link Beatmaster. As with all pin mods, it is a love it or leave it, depends on taste. I thought it was interesting to see something unique. Maaca pins are nicer but this one is different.

I must say I do like the black pinballs. I will definately be ordering for my BK. I think the shooter a nice touch as well as the kight toy in the middle of the lower playfield. I may look at finding these as well.

I agree the graphics suck.

My worry is that even tho they state that nothing will come off the blingballs I just figure something must.

I think Andrew (bmw)  might have picked up some a while back

Wow...that video really edited for a sloowwww pace.  Felt like I was watching some boring grade 9 documentary again.

Guess those older SS guys need the slower pace to focus.

That is a great website for pin balls. I never knew that there were so many. Kinda adds something a bit different to a game, I know that I will order a few and try out the black pearls or radioactive black pinball.

Well I was so intrigued by the black balls so I ordered a few. I already have the silver balls but I was told to watch out for the blue ones
