[QUOTE="Fuseball, post: 19315, member: 539"] I learnt how to play pinball properly on a Black Knight machine at a local pool hall when I was a kid, so I've always liked it. I don't think that the TPA version does the game justice yet and it's unfortunate that the bleeb-bleeb-bleeb noise from the drop target banks overpowers everything else when it's a lot less intrusive on the real thing. Gorgar is quite a slow table, which understandably is not to everyone's taste. BK, however, should be really frantic with its focus on multiball. The lighting effects and build-up to multiball are all missing from the current scripted TPA version, and they add a lot to the experience of playing it. It should be a bit more like this... [MEDIA=youtube]wM0TKVKZcQc[/MEDIA] It makes a big difference when you can activate the magnasaves more easily too. My favourite trick is catching a ball in the right magnasave during multiball and then hitting the right ramp spinner for masses of points and really cool sound. :D I would suggest that you give BK another try when the rom emulation is added. Maybe it will click a bit more for you then. [/QUOTE]
